Higher Biology Exam?!

I am glad that it is over but how did you all find it?

I found it solid and I ran out of time and that never happens with me. I found the paper way harder than the prelim. I just feel like crying because I didn't do well enough. I left out so many of the PS questions because my mind was so confused and I just couldn't do them. The KU and essay went okay but I must have left out or half answered around 15-20 questions.

I got 81% in the prelim but I don't think that after today, I have even got an A. I just feel so stupid and want to cry :frown:

. How likely does an appeal for biology get accepted?

Would you say that this year was a "difficult" paper or was it easy for you?

Was this a genetic engineering question ?

I wrote Gene Probes for part A)
but I wasn't sure about the immunity question

I said a similar thing too. I wrote that the gene was cut out this does not work and insulin does instead.

Hey, for the last multi choice I got A as well :s-smilie:

and regarding the tyripsane or whatever it was I thought it was Enzyme Activators and the pancreas does not produce it because it'll digest the pancreas cells therefor the pancreas produces an inactive enzyme. Can't remember exactly what I wrote but it was along those lines :s-smilie:

sorry !!
