It was not super hard but they went for like super picky topics in my opinion like the typical stuff you just skip in the chapter because it isn’t important. also maybe too much plantsI hate plants 😔

I think q10 with the auxin pathway was the best question but I didn’t like the one with snails, mussel, seaweed and the gulls. Also, it was unique that they had a meiosis question, I think it was ok tho :cool:

Probably medium, like 65/100 for an A?

Seemed a little bit harder than the specimen papers for 2022, I think the paper 4 and 5 were easier than paper 2.

How was paper 3? The microscope slide colours were washed out on mine, so I guessed from memory the locations of some features like the epidermis and palisade😅
