Hiya, I've made your thread the official chat for this exam and moved it to the appropriate forum. I'll also add it to the central directory and make threads for the other two papers as well. :smile:

I swear I’m the only person doing B😭 literally just started revising today due to my other exams taking priority, planning to sacrifice this paper tbh and then try really hard for 2 and 3. Good luck for yours though!!

I’m in the same boat. I had geography today and psychology yesterday which took priority. Hopefully I can make up for it in the last 2 papers!

That was the weirdest paper first and last question and the head flagellum one confused me so so much
I had to miss out on 12 marks 😩
the first graph question on phosphate ions threw me off I'm not gonna lie, I was just waffling how aerobic respiration can provide enough ATP for active transport

Absolutely ****ed that paper, missed out on about 20 marks just from leaving them blank, including the last 6 marker and the stuff about agglutination (wtf is that). I wasn’t confident on anything and nearly cried, would honestly be surprised if I got more than 15 marks😃😃😃😃

I thought that question was about potassium ions damn I actually could’ve wrote stuff about phosphate ions I think

What are we thinking the grade boundaries are gonna be like? Let’s say I did get 15 marks on that paper, what would I need on the other 2 for a C?
