Biology Unit 1 Higher Exam 6th June 2014 opinions?

What did you all think of the exam?
Which questions did you find hard?
What answers did you get for the Thalidomide questions?
I thought it was quite different the usual exam papers. I'm like a low a* student and I may have gotten 45 or less :frown:
I couldn't think of more than 4 things for the six mark question on adaptations.
the thalidomide question, I think I wrote, in order: sleeping issues, morning sickness, something like it was not tested on pregnant women, and limb defects in birth, I can't remember if there was one more.

I found the adaptations question okay actually. The page about the birds eggs in the decaying plants really got me confused.
I will have lost 2 marks on the Thalidomide questions because I put morning sickness then leprasy (which was true but I forgot that it was for sleeping before that, so my order is wrong :mad:)
