Overall I found the paper to be quite lengthy and difficult. I guess the threshold will be low for this. around 60s. Questions were quite new type compared to the previous years where used to be a lot of repetition in them.

Yes same situation. Almost all the students had problem with time management. I hope the thresholds will be low this time.60s was for mayjune 2016. And 56 for mayjune 2014 which was for sure easier. Anyways i am expecting higher than 70. And yes! I never had time managment problem while doing past papers.. In this one i did and it lead to a couple marks being left.

Oh God.
Let's just change the name of the aubject. So much was based on general knowledge.

Did you guys manage to complete the paper? If not, how much did you guys leave?
I left 14 marks, and I can't stop worrying about it

It was certainly much harder than M/J '16 or O/N '16. But I guess it was alright. What about you?
Toughest one i've solved yet, when compared to past papers from 2011-2016 all variants. Time management was the main issue. It went alright overall.
Imo it wasn't THAT tough. Sure it was lengthy and time consuming but i still managed to finish it 10 minutes before time ended. The questions were fairly simple and i honestly don't get why people are saying it's tough. I guess too many past papers can make you dull, monotony can be dangerous. In biological terms it can be considered as an inbreeding depression

I think it was quite okay...I didn't find it lengthy either, paper 4 is always like that. But sure enough, questions weren't straight-forward like they used to be in previous years. But a little reasoning, then could be answered well.
Gt will hopefully be low because there's a lot of chance that students are gonna mess it up.
For the answer to allele A not giving color, did we have to write it in terms of gene expression?
also what did you get the ratio?

techgeek I got 12:3:1 white black brown
I also got 12:3:1 ratio but i think i wrote black:brown:white. Well another mark gone. Or am i right? I think white was 1...
White was definitely 12. It was white:black:brown 12:3:1
So if i wrote gametes/genotypes/ genotypes in the punnet square correct... Will i get 4/6?
