the bar went up in hours did it not? so the points went up in 0.1 hours.

0.2 hours, 0.1 hours, 0.2 hours, 1 hour was the values. i just divided by 4?


What?
I somehow read it as being 5 hours, 4 hours, 4 hours, 7 hours.

Coming on to this has made me realise how many stupid mistakes I made... Dont ask how I did that one.

For the density INDEPEDENT one I though it said DEPENDENT too so put food ability -.-

Hated the 0-24 years growth question. It would have been better if they removed a PS question and added one on respiration and krebs cycle which is in it every year.


yeah! it dived right into PS instead of a few easy biology knowledge questions.

i ticked box X as showing GH caused increased body mass as they were both entirely increasing.

next bit i said GH mass greatly decreased from 14 to 24 yet body mass continued to increase which showed there were other reasons for body mass growth.

think you were reading from the bird mass bit which went accordingly with those figures.

was the average breaths thing 45? i remember it was 3 body mass x 15 breaths normal or something :s-smilie:

yeah they will accept that, they just need coverage of the entire course throughout your mock exams.


Are you sure?

The thing is that units 1 & 2 was 2.5 hours long and unit 3 was 1 hr long so it was longer than an actual exam paper :frown:. I think I have ruined my chances after today...

I did that too for the body mass question but it seems too simple for Higher bio right?

Too easy...considering the standard of the other questions! I wish that we got to take a paper home for bio but you can't. I just want to see how many marks I have definitely lost. It may put my mind at ease.

Yeah thats what I wrote, but I mean did you put the phosphate first then the deoxyribose sugar in that order:tongue: because I'm really bad at making silly mistakes like putting it the wrong way round

Yep I know :smile:. But the SQA want the word Deoxyribose on the paper and not just sugar!

The question consisted of a diagram of a nucleotide.
