Ocr gateway biology b1 b2 b3 gcse 2017

how did you find it?? I personally found all the 6 markers difficult :frown:

but I felt it was alright.

I came out of the exam really happy, but I've just been realising more and more errors since, and it's really getting me down...

I'd assume that this years grade boundaries would be low because I do think this paper was harder than last years, so you don't need to worry.

The lady bug question was awful! and the question where you had to correct the persons exam mistakes...Erm, OCR, WE ARE IN AN EXAM WE DON'T WANT TO CORRECT SOMEONE ELSE'S ERRORS!

I think the grade boundaries will be lower because there was loads of hard questions!

One of the rabbits had large,thin ears which increases SA:V, and the other rabbit had an insulating layer of blubber, which reduces SA:V as well as heat loss.
