Was it edexcel? I found it pretty good, but I did feel like I was repeating myself for some of the questions like the asked slight variations of the same question at least twice

OMG the rat question (number 8) like the pink pigment in the eyes killed me. i had no clue what to say for the first part the one where it asked for the genetic control of one phenotype or something?
i wrote biological control lmao but its wrong. what is it?

I did triple higher, so I am not sure this question came up for me, but we had a question on the fat content of milk and we got asked about occipital lobe in the brain (literally not mentioned in the spec)

Does anyone ever have that thing where they just finish a paper and then forget all the questions that were in it? I literally did the bio paper two hours ago and I’ve forgotten the q’s in it 😂

OH that makes sense. it said paida so i thought that was feminine might be wrong.

I thought that at first but it said τον so I'm pretty sure it's masculine and it's 3rd declension so that's the accusative form. I think I got "[something about not knowing what other thing he was able to do] having killed his wife and son, he drank a poison"

The AQA Triple Biology paper was fairly reasonable and I enjoyed it! All of the topics which I wasn't fully sure was either a low tarrif question or wasn't on the test at all :biggrin:

. One down, 20 more to go! 🥳 Time to get revising for the English exam for tomorrow!
