Anyone else mad at the IGCSE Biology exam 29/October?

[NyaMah]

Just finished the IGCSE Biology 0610 - 33 - exam and wow I'm actually so mad. For multiple years if you look at the past papers running from 2011 downwards, they have the same trend in questions and same format. This year why do they have to make it so utterly arbitrary and random? That exam had nothing to do with the IMPORTANT things in Biology such as human biology. Thoughts.?

maybe they'll put the human biology topics in the other variant! I have variant 32 after 5 hours

 

[NyaMah]

Yeah lucky for you... My extended test is finished that counts for 50% and I probably got so crap. Most arbitrary topics for my exam.

 

[Mariam Mohamed SX132]

Actually I didnt want a lot of Human biology in my exam! because recently they've been getting really complicated diagrams! And dont worry the curve for variant 33 is usually very low! So hopefully it'll be ok as long as u dont leave anything blank u might get partial marks Good luck and Inshallah A*

 

[pooja9897]

did u get anything on genetics and food chains????

 

[NyaMah]

mariammohamed Hopefully, lol

pooja9897 nothing at all, so study up on that.

 

[pooja9897]

Oh.... Okay, Thanks a tonne!!!!

How was it?

 

[Mariam Mohamed SX132]

Well gotta admit there were some tricky questions bt it wasnt so hard

 

[sandman za]

it wasn't that hard, just really arbitrary questions. it's like they're dumbing down the papers and making them more applicable to the 21st century (like pollution)

[MariaZ]

What was the answer of 1 (c)?? The fungus one.

 

[Mariam Mohamed SX132]

yeah that one was tricky! I wrote sporangium bt when i looked into the book turns out it was mycellium!

 

[NyaMah]

If I had the chance to resit 31/32 id do it, by god 33 was utter crap.

 

[Serah]

aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh i was so madddd.....i studied genetics n digestive ssytem n human biologyyy soo badlllyy n notthhhinng caaammmeee....it was completelllyy generall !!

 

[Fatima18]

I gave variant 2 as well....And yeah...hardly anything out of human Biology.

 

[opis afhaggot]

if there was a chance to be a downy u took it.

 

[vinnyme]

Goshh.. believe me I sat paper 32 like 3 weeks ago and basically the things are all about fungus and bacteria ! But there're a question or two about immune system and digestion .. goshh it was pretty hard !!!!!!!! also, the questions about green house effect came up they asked for the effects of 'hydrocarbon' !!
I was like OMG never heard of that before.. I NEVER LEARN THAT BEFORE and question about hormone BST is also freaking hard!
