    How was Biology Paper 42 MAY/JUNE 2017?

    I wrote for microarrays similar to you darks. I just used "complementary base pairs" alongside probes as far as I recall since they used the word "probes" in the question itsself so I thought it'd be better to elaborate on it. But yes I'm thinking 2 marks or 3 max, not more than that. For the...

    How was Biology Paper 42 MAY/JUNE 2017?

    Yeah let's just hope gt remains low. All the best to you too! And yes it's confusing because in your link the equation has acetate and coenzyme A at the left hand side but on here (https://chem.libretexts.org/Core/Biological_Chemistry/Metabolism/Catabolism/Pyruvate_Dehydrogenase_Complex) it has...

    How was Biology Paper 42 MAY/JUNE 2017?

    Hahah P5 acha houta tou good houta but p5 bura hua hai (kafi bura, 15 se zyada nai aane) isliye 80ish is barely enough to compensate for it (aagay P3 mai bhi concerns hain). Waese bhi ye mera estimate hai kal discuss karengay khulkar tou kai ghaltiyan nikal aani hain. Made some very bogus...

    How was Biology Paper 42 MAY/JUNE 2017?

    Yes I agree this can't be compared to them. My only reason for quoting them was CIE's typical statement, "To fulfil that aim we have to lower the thresholds from one examination to another if we find that the questions in a paper have been more difficult than last time (or raise the thresholds...

    How was Biology Paper 42 MAY/JUNE 2017?

    Very scary looking, unsettling, unnverving paper. Considering 42 for March, May/June, and October/November last year (2016): A at 62 in March, 2016 A at 64 in May/June, 2016 A at 64 in October/November, 2016 This paper being quite hard compared to the others and our unanimous agreement about...

    A Level Biology Paper 52 3rd May 2017

    Google says Pakistan Standard Time is 5 hours ahead of GMT. Our exams begin at 9 AM PST (8 AM reporting time), so that would be 3 AM GST..... ? I guess so.

    A Level Biology Paper 52 3rd May 2017

    I said the same for the cotton wool and added a couple of other things. For the planning I just went on and on and rambled about LOL. Low risk experiment, create different concentrations, repeat thrice and mean for each concentration, etc. stuff like that. For the preparing I went with using...

    A Level Biology Paper 52 3rd May 2017

    Haha for me it's 1) I love physics 2) but I tend to mess it up (cause of my impatience/not reading the question properly and idiotic calculation errors) Thanks, you too. Yeah I am and I wish this wasn't the case. My school immensely discourages giving AS a year earlier for God knows what...

    A Level Biology Paper 52 3rd May 2017

    That's great. Mine is best case 20 ish too but can be lower if I screwed up the suggestions and 'why' type questions. I knew the principle but misread the question. Thought they were asking total brown furred (homozygous + heterozygous) while in fact it was heterozygous which they asked. Really...

    A level Biology: Post your doubts here!

    Guys new here but I have this question that has REALLY bugged me. It's from Summer 2010, Question Paper 11, Question 2. The answer is C, and the examiner report says, "The relative difficulty of this item was due to many candidates failing to appreciate that animal cells are very difficult to...
