I got 5. I got 4.55 and then to 1 sig fig it was 5. A couple of my friends said they got 4 though too.


Oh okay, everyone that I talked to at my school also got 4 but you might be right :smile: it wasn't that many marks though so it's probably not a big deal.

Out of interest what did people get for the Standard deviation question?


i got 4.5 as well so rounded it up to 5
The thing that really pissed me off was the fact that almost none of it was on the A2 stuff. I could have forgiven them if it hadnt been for the fact that the only 2 past papers we have were almost exclusively A2 content rather than As. Where the hell was nerves???

I know! I memorised the generation of an action potential and was so proud of myself for that.

could come up in unified I guess :dontknow: in paper 3?
you guys really think 65% for an A. Personally I think that is too high for that paper probably 60% or lower for an A judging by the way everyone is reacting to it.
I actually think the examiners might have forgot by muscles, I have seen a proper muscle question in any of the papers
