Just had a query here. Could we copy/paste stuff from the marking scheme and paste it on our paper. Like for the last bit in Unit 6, the preliminary work done is always the same so can I always mention "finding out dependant variable", etc?

Yaa. I see that there a similar trend for this exam.
The bio-statics are hard :/ and also Q3, where you have to PLAN your investigation in details. Its difficult !
