OCR GCSE Biology exam today (13th Jan)?

Question

Anybody do the OCR GCSE Biology B1 B2 B3 today ? I found it quite hard with quite a few long writing questions and quite confusing ones too! anybody remember any of the Qs?

Answer 1

I thought this exam was weird

The last question was the hardest, I ticked 4 boxes

It was about how a species could become extinct

Another question asked us about the large beaks in finches , that was really hard

One of the questions asked us to write in under 15 words about vaccination in both sides - could have gotten disqualified

That was just stupid

I think i got an A as it was easier

Answer 2

There were some very odd questions! It was alright. I answerd all the questions so yeah...

Yeah that weird one about Lichen not growing on soil :L I can't draw a " smooth curve" to save my life tbh! I think the grade boundries are very low. The head of science told us you only needed 36/60 for an A* :L

Answer 3

I found the bit about how the white blood cells adapt&about the veins a little tricky, and also about the nervous system hard. As long as you know you have done your best, I'm sure the results will be fine :)

Answer 4

I found it quite tricky cos the past papers were usually tick boxes unlike this which contsin slot of writing. ahaowever there was only 2 q's which i found hard which were the fluid (amnociatus) testing and the hormonal difference to nerve system one. Btw when will we get our results.



Wish u all good luck

Answer 5

I did the paper today; to realize an A*, you desire ninety% meaning you will desire to get 38/40 two. i in my opinion got here upon the examination common, yet there have been a pair of ones which fairly perplexed me! :S For the Auxins one, if it covers the full of the stem, the plant won't advance. whilst there's slightly bit steel blockading the diffusion of auxins, they are going to advance in the direction of the realm that the steel became into on, by using an greater desirable fee of enhance on the different area. I regarded at final years examination for B4 B5 B6 and it became into lots, lots easier whilst in comparison with the only we did. appears like we are fairly gonna be examined on Wednesday and next Monday! =]
