    Any did p1 BIO EXAM just (Easy/Hard)

    I found it easy. Not many questions made me think alot. The question asking where the pollen tube entered the flower. I thought about that for a while. I chose D. B couldn't be correct because those were anthers not stigmas. C was obviously incorrect. A to me seemed to be from the leaf stack...

    IS CIE doing some kind of experiment on us !!!

    I also thought at first that getting five marks would be difficult but it was pretty easy. Five marks means five reactions. I remembered five reactions. from the iron extraction process and even wrote a sixth and we had the equation for two of those reactions. The hard questions in that paper...

    chemistry mark expectations

    You misunderstand what's written there. If that was true then the grade threshold would never change and that's clearly not the case. That page basically says that an A* translates into a 90% not vice versa. That table is mainly for use by universities that need grades in number form and want to...

    Chemistry Paper 32 discussion

    Paper was pretty easy for me. It was short but like someone above said, you had to think about the questions and read them properly so I didn't finish quickly. The hardest question in my opinion was the one asking why using biodiesel is has less effect on the carbon dioxide concentration in air...

    IS CIE doing some kind of experiment on us !!!

    Biology paper 3 and Physics paper 3 seemed kinda long. I thought they were perhaps thinking that their exams from the previous years were too short and that we had too much time for questions. They'll probably change their mind when they see our results :D . Chemistry paper 3 was ok though. I...

    Chemistry paper 12 discussion!!!!!!!!!!

    The question asked about overhead cables. Those cables are made of Aluminum and Iron. Aluminum is used because it is a good conductor of electricity and has a low density. Steel is used as the core to give the cables strength. Copper is a good conductor of electricity and is therefore used in...

    A* help O.o

    It actually is relevant because he said that his friend was thinking about his marks in individual papers. You do get a grade for individual papers and grades to exist at individual components. We just aren't told what they are and they don't really matter. Only the overall grade matters. Your...

    A* help O.o

    He can't get A* in two of the papers. A* does not exist at the level of an individual component. The max he can get in them is an A. On a side note, different papers have different weightings and are valued differently. So they won't just add up all the marks he got in the three papers. Nobody...
