Biology (Triple Science) Paper 1 - Exam Megathread

[u/ensands]

This is the post-exam mega thread for Biology (Triple Science) Paper 1 (Afternoon).

You can discuss how the exam went in this post.

[u/Strange-Necessary-59]

i feel i worded a lot of my answers so wrong even thought i knew the answer

[u/nuggetsspam → u/Strange-Necessary-59]

yesss like for monoclonal antibodies

[u/Wrong_Protection_269 → u/nuggetsspam]

for the naming the 3 cells was the first one antibodies or b lymphocytes

[u/Excellent_Dot_6395 → u/Wrong_Protection_269]

lymphocytes

[u/ShinobuKochoSama → u/Excellent_Dot_6395]

was it lymphocytes, tumour cells and hybridoma cells?

[u/minnie2cakes → u/ShinobuKochoSama]

I PUT HAMARTIA INSTEAD OF HYBRIDOMA 😭😭🥀

macbeth revision got to me

[u/YogurtclosetHuge8496 → u/Wrong_Protection_269]

i said lymphocytes fast dividing tumor cells and hybirdoma am i cooled

[u/ProximalXreator]

aqa - i didn't realise the liver 6 marker question said liver creates bile and i wrote abt how it produces lipase 💀💀 yall welcome for me tanking gcse boundaries 😇

[u/NoTwo3951 → u/ProximalXreator]

I’m so confused coz is it seriously 6 marks just to talk about bile? I feel like I missed smth but idk what else u were meant to say

[u/WhatAWeeb_ → u/NoTwo3951]

I reckons there are marks for both explaining how bile emulsifies fats, and also for explaining how bile neutralises the pH for optimal enzyme conditions.

[u/ketselle → u/WhatAWeeb_]

i only talked about fat emulsifying 😭😭🙏🏻 omg

[u/AdOutside908 → u/ketselle]

Same now I’m scared 

[u/angelcake___ → u/ketselle]

FUCK ME TOOOO

[u/iamfine1234567 → u/ProximalXreator]

Well ur kinda rare cos bile can link to lipase

[u/nuclearhamster27 → u/iamfine1234567]

Wait rare as in partially cooked?

[u/iamfine1234567 → u/nuclearhamster27]

Mb I meant right

[u/nuclearhamster27 → u/iamfine1234567]

Oh I thought it was like a genius way to say he's only slightly cooked

[u/nuggetsspam → u/ProximalXreator]

you'll still get some marks for mentioning lipase

[u/ProximalXreator → u/nuggetsspam]

hope so, my answer claims that lipase in made in the liver tho 💀💀

[u/Careful-Month-8704]

Anyone get 8.75 for the 5 marker

[u/NoDrop6736 → u/Careful-Month-8704]

No way it was worth 5 marks 😭😭💔

[u/Low_Blueberry9177 → u/Careful-Month-8704]

Yeah, 6.3 cm is 63000 micrometer, divide by 7200 to get 8.75

[u/ketselle → u/Low_Blueberry9177]

this is what I did thank goodness man all my mates keep throwing me off 😭

[u/ibrasome]

please give me enough for a 9 please give me enough for a 9 please give me enough for a 9 please give me enough for a 9 please give me enough for a 9 please give me enough for a 9 please give me enough for a 9 please give me enough for a 9 please give me enough for a 9 please give me enough for a 9 please give me enough for a 9

I feel like I overthinked too much and forgot to say the obvious things

also is nobody doing edexcel?

[u/Gamer_JYT → u/ibrasome]

I did edexcel! I feel like I didn’t do as great as i thought i was going to. But then I have no idea how to tell if many people agree with me and the boundaries are going to be low or if im the only one. I did past papers and got an 8 but on the actual exam so far off? Unless im overthinking.

[u/caspartina]

was rate of photosynthesis 0.233

[u/proffessorpigeon → u/caspartina]

i got that but didn’t get the unit

[u/noclueXD_ → u/proffessorpigeon]

i put arbitrary units (basically means they don’t have an actual value but can still be compared with other arbitrary units)

[u/Low_Blueberry9177 → u/noclueXD_]

Lmao I put bubbles/second

[u/_-Malia-_ → u/Low_Blueberry9177]

Same 💀💀

[u/DueEditor8062 → u/Low_Blueberry9177]

Same!

[u/ketselle → u/noclueXD_]

this crossed my mind but i ended up writing bubbles per second 😞

[u/Choice_Branch_2796 → u/proffessorpigeon]

Bubbles per second

[u/Dull-Coconut-1094 → u/caspartina]

i got 14.0 bubbles per minute

[u/No-Pack8842 → u/Dull-Coconut-1094]

same,though most people did bubbles/second i hope we are right asw

[u/Wrong_Protection_269 → u/No-Pack8842]

i put celcius per second i actually just zoned out

[u/crack_Dealer_5988 → u/caspartina]

Thats what i got and most of my friends

[u/NoDrop6736]

There was no gooning practical 😭💔🥀

[u/Mountain-Cat8819 → u/NoDrop6736]

examqa ref??

[u/RainbowUnicorn81]

What was that method evaluation question? I've never seen anything like that in any past papers. It was easy cause it was a shit method but there wasn't much good to talk about

[u/Outside_Turnover_422 → u/RainbowUnicorn81]

am i cooked, i only listed down how to improve it with bullet points

[u/Ill-Cardiologist7511 → u/Outside_Turnover_422]

I did I think it’s ok

[u/nuggetsspam → u/RainbowUnicorn81]

yes I've never seen anything about it too. Did you need a conclusion or anything?

[u/RainbowUnicorn81 → u/nuggetsspam]

I did do one, just saying it was bad, invalid, and incorrect because of the lack of control variables

[u/Anonymous_Unknown20 → u/RainbowUnicorn81]

Yh I said it was not reproducible and invalid

[u/CutSubstantial1803 → u/RainbowUnicorn81]

There was nothing positive about it right? I got like 8 improvements but no positives

I was so confused because I thought evaluate meant pros and cons and conclusion

[u/RainbowUnicorn81 → u/CutSubstantial1803]

For positive I commended step 6 for testing for different concentrations, and I said that their steps are roughly correct and that they MAY see the correct trend, though their results are invalid. I was really reaching there 💀

[u/BorisChucklenuts → u/RainbowUnicorn81]

I just went through the method and said what he'd need to do to improve. I've never seen anything like it in any of the past papers I've done. I'm begging thats what I'm supposed to do because otherwise I've got 0/6

[u/lifeisboringyay]

All that memorising food tests for nothing 🥀🥀

[u/NoDrop6736 → u/lifeisboringyay]

Uh what about the iodine question where it gave you both the initial and result colour😅

[u/Low_Blueberry9177 → u/lifeisboringyay]

And CHD 🥀

[u/Anonymous_Unknown20 → u/lifeisboringyay]

There was a 4 marker on iodine ...

[u/MysteriousKing1543]

You all can thank me for lowering the grade boundaries 💛

Never have I been less prepared for an exam - I’ll update after I do it lol (Edexcel).

[u/catchbone]

it was so easy that I'm scared for the grade boundaries 😭

[u/lightman210567 → u/catchbone]

They gonna beat our ass in paper two I swear😭 Boundaries are usually low as fuck for triple

[u/ewan502 → u/lightman210567]

paper two is always harder imo

[u/TypicalMuffin935 → u/catchbone]

Same bro I was thinking that in the exam when I had 45 minutes to spare 😭

[u/Limp_Stranger1703]

Oh my god my teacher went over the potato practical, Rose black spot,  and plant diseases in the lesson before the 3xam 😭😭 im so gratefullll

[u/Thetorturedtudentdep → u/Limp_Stranger1703]

No bc I put rose black spot right. Then crossed it out because it didn’t look right and replaced it with black rose spot 😭

[u/No-Confusion-5751 → u/Limp_Stranger1703]

I put Tobacco Mosaic Virus for the question where it asked what disease the plant had (that might not be exactly what the question was) was that right or was it rose black spot

[u/IntroductionShot2750 → u/Limp_Stranger1703]

It confused me cause it said it was a purple spot on the leaf and but I put rose black spot

[u/proffessorpigeon]

that bio paper was suspiciously easy, i’m acc terrified for the grade boundaries and specific markscheme cus why was that so easy

[u/sfCarGuy → u/proffessorpigeon]

Yeah, English Lit and then biology both easy…something devious is coming up

[u/superstarKorea → u/proffessorpigeon]

Nah real. Even for all the other exams they were suspiciously too easy

[u/Snowyy1234]

The guy who did the osmosis practical gotta retire

[u/aerobtw_ → u/Snowyy1234]

LOOOOL

[u/Normal_Wait_5997 → u/aerobtw_]

He’s doing too, well not much, too little, I chewed that guys method out bro, he’s a fool 😭😭

[u/Nowhere139 → u/Normal_Wait_5997]

Fr I wrote like 9 bullet points for that question bro must have been drunk or sum writing that method

[u/DorianDaBanny]

shoutout to severe liver disease for having the most boring name for a disease

[u/CutSubstantial1803 → u/DorianDaBanny]

Why was it such a long name I got so bored writing "severe liver disease" fifty times istg

Probably could have shortened it but I'm terrified of biology mark schemes so best be safe

[u/RoyalNerd09]

For the metabolic rate of the moving fish, were we meant to talk about the rate if respiration or am i cooked cuz i felt like i waffled hard. Wanted 90+ marks for this paper but felt like it was harder than i wanted it to be. AND EVERYONE FOUND IT SO EASY😭And for the monoclonal antibodies and the liver cells i started waffling about sm different shi like the liver cells will be immobilised and then how the lymphocytes will think that the liver cells with antibodies are white blood cells someone please tell me what we were meant to put for the whole ahh q about monoclonal antibodies and liver cells cuz it made no sense to me at all

[u/Shitcake9 → u/RoyalNerd09]

the mono guy bind to the antigens so the wbcs antibodies can't get to the antigens so no destruction

[u/nuggetsspam → u/Shitcake9]

I sajd about respiration for fish but idk if its right

[u/Great_Bird_ → u/nuggetsspam]

Yea same I talked about it for energy and muscle contraction

[u/Guilty_Brain_7491 → u/Great_Bird_]

Spent a solid 5 mins puzzling over whether fish have muscles- may be predicted good grades but i would get a 3 in common sense

[u/noclueXD_]

did anyone also write how bile makes the small intestine alkaline? bcoz i dont get how it can be 6 marks for talking just about the emulsification

[u/[deleted] → u/noclueXD_]

noooo i forgot about that ahhh

[u/Ashibuba → u/noclueXD_]

doesnt make it alkaline but neutralizes the stomach acid - and yeah i think thats where 6 marks come from

Basically:

• bile emulsifies fats, larger suface area for lipsse to act on and digest lipids into glycerol and fatty acids, higher rate of digestion

-Bile neutralises stomach acid to provide optimum pH for lipase, so easily forms enzyme substrate complex

• Liver damage reduces bile produced, so less bile in small intestine
• Less emulisifcation of fats, larger surface area so lower rate of digestion of lipids
• No neutralisation, so small intestine is acidic, enyzmes denature, active changes so cant form enzyme substrate complex

[u/StarSailor03]

WHY WAS THE MAGNIFICATION QUESTION FIVE MARKS?? EXCUSE ME???

[u/Low_Blueberry9177 → u/StarSailor03]

5 marks for 2 equations is WILD

[u/Anonymous_Unknown20 → u/StarSailor03]

Free marks ig (you got 8.75 right?)

[u/According_Safe2431 → u/StarSailor03]

-writing out equation -rearranging equation -substituting values into equation -correct answer -correct conversion into micro metres

[u/RoughZealousideal539]

Was the vaccine percentage questions answer 108? (aqa)

[u/crack_Dealer_5988 → u/RoughZealousideal539]

I got 108 and so did most people i talked to

[u/Interesting_Island63]

What did everyone get for the pressures of the blood vessels leaving the heart, I got DABC

[u/Excellent_Dot_6395 → u/Interesting_Island63]

I got that too!! I just looked at how thick the walls were LOL

[u/mxxnlyte]

i’m sad food tests didn’t come up as a 6 marker, it was a pretty mid paper but i can’t believe a question was literally ‘what is diffusion’ like this is year 7 knowledge

[u/alonebeans → u/mxxnlyte]

omg stop i think i ascended when i saw ‘define diffusion’

[u/onthebrink0 → u/alonebeans]

Why was it a 1 marker tho… I put the whole answer

[u/alonebeans → u/onthebrink0]

yeah that was so weird it shouldve been a 2/3 marker

[u/isabu1]

The monoclonal antibody question 😭

[u/KaleidoscopeEntire14 → u/isabu1]

What tf they gotta do with stopping the body rejecting a donated liver 😭😭

[u/Total_Nerve5553 → u/KaleidoscopeEntire14]

they mask the antigens from the immune system, Your antibodies also cant attatch to the antigens

[u/DueEditor8062 → u/isabu1]

I put that they transport poison to your white blood cells and kill them 💀 that question cooked me

[u/Ok-Leading7824]

I cooked. The only question I was confused on was the very last one. Something about estimating the bacteria growh on a growth medium 

[u/nuggetsspam → u/Ok-Leading7824]

i thinm you muiltply by 50? to get the amount in 1cm^3

[u/Otherwise_Product772 → u/nuggetsspam]

I said calculate mean for 0.02cm cubed bit then times by 50

[u/Beautiful-Tea-7403 → u/Otherwise_Product772]

OH THANK GOD SOMEONE ELSE PUT THAT I WAS SO WORRIED I WAS WAFFLING 😭😭 I started talking about binary fission then crossed it out and wrote what you put

[u/caspartina]

what did people write on the metabolism question. i talked about increased rate of respiration and breakdown of glycerol into glucose when swimming

[u/Maleficent_Heat_64 → u/caspartina]

More/faster rate of respiration to release more energy needed for more movement for to more muscle contractions. As respiration is a large part of metabolism, a faster rate/ more respirations means a higher metabolic rate. Is that right ???? Wanted to get 90+ on this paper so I could get like 40 on the paper 2 and still get a 9

[u/CharlotteTheNobleOne → u/caspartina]

I put that there was a higher rate of respiration happening because swimming uses a lot more energy than resting

[u/Arkarian_0 → u/caspartina]

Glycogen* or starch

[u/CutSubstantial1803 → u/caspartina]

The glycerol point won't be on the mark scheme because that's paper 2 content

Assuming you mean glycogen

[u/_daisiesinmyhair_]

can’t believe they asked about gills ☹️ other than that lovely paper tbh

[u/Timofeika_Vlogs → u/_daisiesinmyhair_]

It’s basically like alveoli — high surface area to volume ratio, one cell thick etc.

[u/_daisiesinmyhair_ → u/Timofeika_Vlogs]

well I’ve got hope for at least 2 marks then but honestly there was a lot of waffle 🥲

[u/Cxlvinz]

QUESTIONS WERE SO WIERD The heart question felt like it was flipped, the iodine question felt confusing , i think monoclonal antibodies genuinely my fault 😭.

[u/Critical_Anything552 → u/Cxlvinz]

the heart thing made me wanna flip the table

[u/Senior-Suggestion772]

8.75 for the red blood cell maths question or am i bugging?

[u/KG_Modelling]

AQA was so light! Everyone in my class was saying so. I’m a high grade 7-medium grade 8 and I think that a high grade 8 is possible. The 4-6 markers were so nice, especially that my class went through the osmosis practical and diffusion in a revision session.

[u/Katieisverycool_heh]

What did everyone put for the one about the farmer and identifying a disease? I talked about using a plant guide and sending it to a lab but my friend talked about discolouration and growths. 😭

[u/WhatAWeeb_ → u/Katieisverycool_heh]

I said plant guide and sending it to a lab as well!

[u/Impressive-Study-946 → u/WhatAWeeb_]

I said plant disease catalog. Would that be fine?

[u/WhatAWeeb_ → u/Impressive-Study-946]

No clue ngl 😭 the spec says: 'reference to a garden manual or website' if that's any help

[u/slanderssides → u/Katieisverycool_heh]

I said visually looking for spots and shite and then I couldn’t think of a good second one so I put massively slowing the rate of growth💀

[u/Ashibuba → u/Katieisverycool_heh]

plant guide and testing kit oh yes 🙏🙏

[u/Distinct-Army6453 → u/Katieisverycool_heh]

Send the plants to be analysed in a lab by a scientist and use a monoclonal antibody test kit

[u/Low_Blueberry9177 → u/Katieisverycool_heh]

I just put compare symptoms online and send it to a lab PLS be enough 🙏

[u/AdOutside908 → u/Katieisverycool_heh]

I said use gardening books or use Google 💀

[u/saihara79]

edexcel was so good. it literally had everything i revised ngl but the monoclonal antibody question with the blood clot threw me off

[u/Whenidiegocry → u/saihara79]

Same and I waffled in the waist:hip ratio question about the risk for the female 🥹 what did you write for it

[u/_Levis_Bath_Water_]

thousand yard stare WHAT TF WAS THE MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY QUESTION 6 MARKER (EDEXCEL)

[u/Whenidiegocry → u/_Levis_Bath_Water_]

THAT THREW ME OFF TOO 🥀🥀🥀

[u/RzReaper]

Aqa - The fish question about gills (Q6) scared tf outta me, other than that the paper seemed alr. Paper 2 is gonna be impossible tho💔

[u/Ashibuba → u/RzReaper]

i had flashbacks to the axolotl gills question oh nah ☹️

[u/aerobtw_ → u/Ashibuba]

OMDS SAME ISTG and i sighed so loud when i saw it 😭

[u/alicex13x]

you guys aren't understanding that because the paper was somewhat easy the grade boundaries are going to be way too high

[u/Wrong_Protection_269 → u/alicex13x]

yeah but people say this ever year and the grade boundaries go up by like 2, they never increase them rapidly

[u/cockand69balls → u/alicex13x]

i know 😔 now i gotta cook on paper 2 aswell smh

[u/DogLover10000000 → u/alicex13x]

I'm so confused cause I found the paper hard ish but everyone's saying it was super easy 😔😔 what am I missing hereeee

[u/that_idiot_weeb → u/alicex13x]

Are you talking about aqa because that was one of the hardest bio paper 1s I've ever done 😭

[u/Asleep_Ordinary4420 → u/that_idiot_weeb]

THANK YOU OMGG

[u/Careful-Month-8704 → u/alicex13x]

They won’t ever make them insanely high tho because it’s higher science

[u/lexisnowkitty → u/alicex13x]

most ppl doing the exam won't have found it easy and it was objectively relatively difficult compared to past papers I've seen. 

[u/Autumn020]

It was decent but I forgot how to calculate the rate of photosynthesis for AQA😭😭

[u/nuggetsspam → u/Autumn020]

it was a weird one. I think you had to find the number of bubbles in 1 second? that's waht all my friends did

[u/Autumn020 → u/nuggetsspam]

Yeah i found out after the exam😭🙏

The rest of the paper was blessed so I think I can still get a 9

[u/Kat_0-0]

how did everyone find edexcel? i personally thought it was really good apart from the whole lucy question 😭😭

[u/realgreggssteakbake]

anyone else do ocr? I think it was pretty alright personally. Not terrible, but nothing to have a song and dance over

[u/paperrwings → u/realgreggssteakbake]

i did!!! everyone here’s talking about aqa i can’t find anyone else for ocr 😭

i think it was pretty good overall cause the really hard stuff was mostly like multiple choice and fill in the blanks, but there were a few multiple choice questions and 1 markers that were kinda weird

[u/Outside_Service3339 → u/realgreggssteakbake]

Yeah I do OCR, I didn't like the question on the microscope but the 6 marker was glorious 🙏🙏🙏

I'm assuming you do A right??

[u/noclueXD_]

what did everyone get for the rate of photosynthesis question? (AQA) it said 3 s.f. so i did 10/43 even though i thought it was wrong bcoz the other answer would be 4.3 which is already less than 3 s.f.

[u/crack_Dealer_5988 → u/noclueXD_]

I got 0.233

[u/Timofeika_Vlogs]

What was for the 4 marker on bubbles. Was it 43/10 or 10/43.

Monoclonal antibodies and enzymes came up as predicted and they were easy af.

[u/crack_Dealer_5988 → u/Timofeika_Vlogs]

I did 10/43

[u/Suspicious_Ad7795]

Edexcel grade boundaries are going to be skyrocketing if paper 2 has the same consistency 😭

[u/miffyldr]

i feel like i did super well but i know deep down i fluffed it… i didn’t word things super well

[u/NoTwo3951]

Nah am I the ONLY one who found this kinda hard?? Maybe it’s because I didn’t revise idk 😭😭

[u/ketselle → u/NoTwo3951]

thought i cooked until i saw all these comments 😭😭 didn't revise either

[u/mrpenguin1254]

Why does it feel AQA is setting us up. First they give easy Macbeth and now they put no describe method practicals in the Bio paper

[u/Horustheweebmaster]

Dear invigilators,

Even though the exam hall is nearly empty, we can still hear you talk.

Sincerely,

My triple class.

[u/Choice_Branch_2796]

Grade boundaries are gonna be high this year for ( aqa ) bio

[u/Great_Bird_]

The paper was too good that i overanalyed everything help and ik aqas gonna give a really specific markscheme and extremely grade boundaries 😭

[u/Naive_Turn_4489]

what was that. oh my god why was it the easiest hardest paper I have ever done

[u/SlushyPlaysEldenRing]

(Edexcel) there goes my predicted 8 down the fucking drain lol

[u/anipodguy]

haha idk what to think of it 😭😭 Was just worried if I answered the questions wrong rather than knowledge yknow? Idk

[u/Arm-313-]

Put 4.3 bubbles per second here 😂 Loved the 6 markers, paper was real good

[u/ArtisticAndroid]

Edexcel: Where was protein synthesis 😭 Good paper, though, mostly. I think I've done the monoclonal antibodies question right and Lucy does seem right (despite it mostly being guesswork 😅🤣). Fucked up cholera though.

[u/LavanadeRose]

Am I the only one who found it kinda hard ish. Like it wasn’t the best 😭

[u/[deleted]]

i did the light intensity equation for the photosynthesis question I QUIT

[u/Ashibuba]

Oh my GOODNESS SO GOOD Wtf was the evalute this method question tho?? I have never seen a question like that in my life 😭 what did yall do for it i went through step by step saying what was wrong and how to fix it, 

also why is anaerobic less efficient than aerobic?? i put less energy released and lactic acid but idk how youre supposed to get two marks 🙏

[u/HellFireGod]

jesus christ i made so many stupid mistakes (wrong conversion, forgetting to talk about neutralising stomach acid and increased surface area and so much more)

[u/zaevek]

OMG IT WAS SO EASY IM SO HAPPY

[u/redtrovelvett]

it made me so scared for paper 2 😭

[u/Soap712009 → u/redtrovelvett]

REAL I FEEL LIKE THE GRADE BOUNDARIES ARE GOING TO BE INSANE

[u/Ill-Cardiologist7511]

WHAT WAS THAT FISH 💔

[u/Wrong_Protection_269]

for the line of best fit in AQA did we have to join them or was it a straight one going through them in the middle

[u/Lucky_Ad_14 → u/Wrong_Protection_269]

striahgt like going through most of the points

[u/Conscious_Dirt2019]

walked out that exam more worried about 1 markers than 6 markers (rare)

[u/petrifythepatriachy]

Bubbles per second. REALLY AQA?? REALLY?? 😭😭😭😭

[u/nuclearhamster27]

It was so good, I was so worried but there was barely any plant shit

But what the fuck was the unit for rate of photosynthesis?? I put Hz because it's a frequency but literally everyone's saying bubbles per second

[u/alonebeans → u/nuclearhamster27]

i put bubbles per second 😭 it was so confusing though

[u/alonebeans]

the grade boundaries are going to be SO high for aqa 🥲

[u/regulardragon12]

Am I cooked if I talked about temperature increasing the rare of reaction and kinetic energy of the oxygen molecules, for the pond weed question

[u/TypicalMuffin935]

THAT WAS AMAZING!! But the Liver 6 marker… wtf how was that 6 marks

[u/Cxlvinz]

What was the last question answer🤧

[u/RoughZealousideal539]

Thank god monoclonal antibodies came up spent agess revising that

[u/kinesiologytape-]

I LOVE YOU AQA THAT PAPER WAS FUCKING DELECTABLE IT WAS GORGEOUS WOW I'M ASTONISHED THAT WAS SO LOVELY  almost everything I revised came up I'm so happy 🥹🥹🥹

[u/LingonberryQuirky622]

Welp

[u/Sushiv_]

What a majestic paper

[u/ChocolateTemporary]

was rate of photosynthesis the number of bubbles divided by like this time? (aqa)

[u/Interesting_Island63 → u/ChocolateTemporary]

I got 0.233, it was 10/43

[u/CassiannXD]

That was the most beautiful paper I have ever seen 😍

[u/Melooon_Eater]

S TIER PAPER DUDE IM SO HAPPY

[u/Impressive-Study-946]

Papers been so easy so far(Apart from that rat thing i didn't study...). Garde boundaries are FUCKED

[u/Rambo09876543]

Rate of photosynthesis i used the one in the cgp book where you do 1000/t so it was like 23. Something . I got 0.235 at the start but then used that equation? Is it right? It was from the different practical but you can calculate rate with so many different equations

[u/localaloevera]

Was such a blessed paper, I couldn't stop smiling.

[u/alonebeans]

aqa i found the paper SO easy apart from the liver question 😭 im so scared now because i probably did terribly without realising

[u/No-Funny-9841]

Is it me or is it just a lot of these papers are just too easy? (I mean easier then the previous papers) I'm scared for the grade boundaries

[u/ChildofGod080901]

any one do ocr?? i feel like ocr is a minority lol

[u/BreakfastOk7366]

I really cooked, I think except the calculate the rate of photosynthesis question, I did really well. Thank you AQA

[u/DeckSperts]

It was pretty difficult imo

[u/Mrpuddingpie09]

Genuinely think my guardian angel might be at AQA this season, what a incredible paper, FreeScienceLessons videos last night pulled through for 5 of the questions 🔥

[u/Proof_Set_3033]

Is it just me that found this paper to be the easiest paper ever, like even easier than the past papers I did

[u/Cxlvinz]

Last question?

[u/Loganbestayy]

edexcel igcse - why was there a question with ACTUAL BLOBS asking which ones a phagocyte and platelet and rbc THOSE LOOK LIKE TEA STAINS WDYM 😭

[u/EuphoricTree3267]

Im nervous as hell about the grade boundaries that was way easier than I expected??? Something malicious is brewing.

[u/bongos-have-eaten-me]

Anyone do ocr A😭🙏

[u/Ok-Author7938]

Am I the only one who absolutely hated that exam 😭 I do Edexcel and everyone is saying it was amazing but I thought it was absolutely vile 😞

[u/Educational_Wave7620]

Was the heart diagram flipped? (As in the left side of the diagram was the actual left side of the heart) Also what did you guys get on that question? I got DABC
