I revised soo much for paper 1 so if i get a normal score in paper 2 i will still be able to get a high grade, but paper 1 was the worst paper i have seen, i still don’t understand if it was a easy or hard paper. So no i am revising my hardest for paper 2, luckily we have this one week off in the middle of the exams, it is so helpful.

Does anyone have any predictions for what might come up: specifically the 6 markers?

Other than the few memory ones (like controlling fertility, conservation schemes and such) these are quite tricky topics but I hope they come up! I've spent so long on them lol. Did all the kidney and hormone stuff now, took me a while.

i thought it said ''each lung contains 280 million alveoli, SA for every 1 million alveoli is 0.25 m^2. What is total SA of alveoli in human body?" Isn't the answer 280 x 2 (2lungs) x 0.25 = 140 m^2? Since it's asking for the SA in human body which means both lungs

(please correct me if im wrong)
