    The lupins question did mention commercially...It was Q3(b) it didnt say anythng abt cultivated...you are confusing it with the quesiton in the past papers....they are not exactly the same..... also writing and self and cross pollination in the other one is a pretty major mistake.

    two pints are wrng.....u cannot say that glucose and amino acids were present in urine, bcoz that's wat u r saying when u say more and less...since the quesion specified that a healthy person's differences were to be mentioned, you cannot say more and less.

    yeah...that's true...if u cant manage time, then you can skip the working in a 1 mark question but still it is best to show it....From the examiner's point of view, the item writer who sets the questions and the examiners who mark the student's responses, they do not want to see the...

    Actually I never refer to topical past pprs.. I first finished all the books recommended by Cambridge as well as D1 to D4...and then did timed yearly past papers for practise...I find that topical past papers dont suit me.
