How was the Bio paper 22? Rather lengthy, wasn't it?
NOTA BENE: NO DISCUSSION OF QUESTIONS OR TOPICS OF QUESTIONS UNTIL AFTER 24 HOURS.

What do you think the gt would be? i am thinking maybe around 37 +/- 2
Yeah, I think the GT will be low. Not because it was difficult (it wasn't really) but because it was so darn long.

I found it easy.
Not too easy, but not average either :p
Typical biology paper.
I disagree it wasn't a typical bio paper, this paper seemed to have come out of blue. Most people from my center didn't see it coming!

i found some questions fairly difficult to understand, on some places i wasn't sure what to write and what not to so I wrote alot, i just hope they dont cut my marks for writing extra :confused:

Yeah, there's always questions like that in Bio, where you have to write more because you don't know what they really want. And I don't think marks are cut for writing extra things - unless there's wrong information, of course.

I completed it exactly on time :D
It was like any other bio paper AFAIC. Some questions were meh, but apart from that it should be okay. I'd be concerned about my handwriting, though. If the examiners don't know my handwriting...I'm screwed :eek:

Will they cut marks if we write too much extra info.., pls i need correct answer or I'll DIE!!!!
I don't think they will hpfully not because I wrote long ans too.

am not 100% sure but i do remember my teacher saying if you wright too much info and contains wrong info they might cut marks. i hope am wrong coz i wrote sooo much. i wasnt sure what some questions wanted so i wrote everything that would come up to my mind!.

Yes, last question was the easiest. I liked first question too. I'm sad because I made horrible mistakes in some parts of 2 or three questions.. what gt are you expecting? I'm taking composite.. panicking at the moment.
