I did BYB1. I thought it went okay though I think i lost a few marks. (Proabably on the movement of ions as temperature increased thing. Was it something to do with carrier proteins being denatured? It can't have been simply faster diffusion as the gradient of the curve changed). Hopefully i'll still get the A though. Funny how i revised most of the complex things and only simpler things came up.
How did u find it?

Yeah the exam was alright.... I dont want to say it was easy... but the exam was good. Most of the questions I was able to answer, but I ran out of time to read through it again. Its kinda a bummer not being able to check through your work... Kind of silly though, you have to score one mark per minute, but the paper is 54 marks, to do in 60 mins?!?! So you have only 6 mins to check your work, but most of those mins are spent reading the questions and thinking about them. Very perculiar... :confused:

Did you have time to spend checking through it? And do you remeber the last question on the paper... it was something to do with mamalian gas exchange... i wrote about aveoli, is that right!!!
