biology exam

[Jamie!]

how did it go?

i done ocr higher, overall it was fairly easy but i struggled on the genes questions.

[Vause]

i didnt have to do it as i'm applied, but good luck anyways ;D

[Jamie!]

oh, whats applied?

and cheers!

[Vause]

where you do 1 exam in year 10, and the rest is coursework.

i got 2 b's (h)

[Jamie!]

ah reet, wd!

i done an exam last year but it only counts towards 20% of my final grade or something, got an a!

[Stab]

Eh i did AQA Higher some of it was hard.

well done, i always knew you were smart :rolleyes:

[Soka]

i did ocr higher too, jamie wat was the genes q cos i might know it as i found all exam ok apart from like one q

[StripedTiger]

for me it was single science.

which is allof the topics mixed together - but i dont know as much.

and i dont think i got my A i wanted... i dont even think i got a high B

[Ramones]

I did AQA double award higher, it was pretty easy except for a 6 mark monster at the end on nitrification or something.

[Vause]

i did Applied science in y10, and i got a c in the exam. then the rest was coursework, so by the end of y11 i got 2 high b's (:

was the one where you had to find out the probability of the kid having blue or brown eyes. i struggled with the one about the motor neurone too, totally forgot that the bit in the middle was the axon.

what did you put for the word equation for the oxyheamoglobin question?

ohh, gene one was probability of a half that kid had blue eyes you had to do a punnet square thing

bit in middle was the axon :P

and word equation you had to put:

oxyhaemoglobin = oxyen + haemoglobin, which was pretty easy]

i jsut being checking for some answers that i remembered and i made loads of silly mistakes like on the tissue culture one

[Vause]

that word is too long. i cant even read it. :eusa_danc

[Pyroka]

I did OCR Double Award foundation and it was a piece of cake for me. :>

ah reet, got that one wrong then, i ended up putting.. glucose + oxyheamoglobin --> lactic acid + carbon dioxide lol.

think i got the tissue culture one right, i put.. where you scrape some cells of a plant that you want to clone. you put these cells in a pot with nutrients and make sure no harmful bacteria gets to it.

those questions about ideas and evidence in science are pathetic, but they are easy so no point complaining.

[Vause]

this is why i did the easy one (:

lol, i got everything righ on the tissue culture but i said you take a cutting instead of the cells part, so i should get some marks on it

the ideas and evidence ones annoy me too, and theres tonnes of them on chemistry paper :P

I was happy with this exam (OCR higher). After getting worried about Mitosis and all that rubbish, it didn't even appear on the exam.
Even the genes questions weren't all that bad, well..apart from the last two.

mitosis came up once, as a one marker and it was how do plant cells grow or something, answer was mitosis :P

[poloolop]

most ppl just did bio today, but im edexcel so we do all 18 modules in 9 tests, so today we had all 3 sciences. :(

Really? ;p
I don't remember a question like that, apart from the one about how do the guard cells grow or something.

aye there was, i got it wrong cause i put meiosis :P

[Shatterstar]
