When I say WJEC Biology I really mean aquatic life 101 am I right?
Haven't seen a thread for this yet. How did everyone feel?

I thought it was absolutely awful, I've never sat such a bad exam in my life! I don't think I got any marks on the fish question as I only had 5 minutes left at the end to complete it, so didn't even have time to read the question properly.

Genuinely the worst exam I've ever sat. The QER question was a lifesaver though. But seriously, what was the whole deal with the fish question and the apparently non-existent organelles???

I started crying as soon as a came out of that exam . For somebody who usually Finds biology quite doable , I thought that was an awful paper . It took me about 5 minutes on every question to work out what they actually wanted me to say 😒

Also, the fact that fish and gills and oxygen comes up on BY2 made it even more confusing so by the end of it, I wasn't even sure what I was on about :/

The only redeeming factor was the question at the end for me, the rest of the questions were worded horribly in my opinion. So you're not alone on this one

Didyou guys do a resit or something because my Biology wjec paper didnt have any question of fish. My essay question was on cell division. Did you guys have this too?

its the biggest ******** ive ever seen in my life. The amount of work ive put into revising the whole syllabus has gone to waste. I LITERALLY understand and memorized the whole unit but still struggled.
Here are some of my answers not in order: (simplified)
Sap Vacuole, Chloroplasts
Metaphase, Cytokinesis
1.5 x10^5 (the density question)
Other parts of the cell absorbed the stain which blocks light
cell wall is inelastic which opposes hydrostatic pressure when cytoplasm expands
PS DID ANYONE ELSE WRITE DOWN ATLEAST 4 OSMOSIS RELATED ANSWERS?

Yeah, I know, I'm also doing the new spec but didn't see these questions of organelles and fish people are talking about, what was your QER question?
