yes they will....

Actually I wrote that the renal artery contains MORE oxygen and that the ureter contains less

Oh, then maybe it wont be accepted.....

 

[thementor]

i just got the reply from my sister, she said she had even done the same during her medical and then in plab, she said it is all related to air entering and collapsing our lungs, she said alveoli is nt the concern if its just a hole but it wasnt just a hole, it was a shot through his skin, so it would have certainly damaged our lungs and alveoli... i lost here

no sweetheart....you see at the level of PLAB, the candidate is expected to know a lot more than at O-Levels. The Examiners are actually looking for different ways to think. Although the marking scheme dosent give all the possible answers, all possible answers are considered by the Examiners during the Pre-Marking Exxaminers Meeting held 1 week before the commencement of the marking period.

What'd u write?

 

[Snowysangel]

What'd u write?

I wrote about plasma protein and amino acids and amount of oxygen :/

 

[thementor]

What'd u write?

i wrote about blood cells being absent and present, composition of glucose and amino acids, composition of urea, and the fact that C (renal artery carries blood) while F(ureter) carries urine.

 

[Kinza Zimri]

no renal artery, it was bringing blood to the kidney(B)

no no, i wrote renal artery but the other one, i wrote renal vein there. you people are saying it was ureter?

 

[thementor]

well 2 marks are confirmed for you.

Hope so just have prayers now

yeah F is ureter because it was going towards the bladder, it was mentioned "to bladder"

 

[thementor]

J

Atleast have some faith in your answers.

argh. one mark gone for sure

 

[thementor]

no worries........who knows, maybe the examiner skips it.....you just have to be patient and wait for the results.
And of course pray
And dont let a few mistakes affect the rest of your papers.

thats the hardest part; to be patient and wait for the result. God knows how these 2 months will pass, thinking about the result day gives me creeps.
haha yea, won't let it affect my other papers what's done is done. stupid cie's.

CURSE YOU CAMBRIDGE,

Mutation has occured making the plants small. Environmental conditions also affect their appearance as the temperature is not appropriate for their growth and lack of sunlight making them small and fewer.

Wrote the same thing..... Dont know if they are right, coz most people have stated only environmental effects...

 

[Captain Jack]

Not sure, but I think it was batch operating system. Bio technology is a possibility as well.

we were supposed 2 write the term of this process for that 'antibiotic' question....not the name of process. So as a result 'biotechnology' is the answer. Batch operation is the process name, not the term of this process.

My dad is a doctor (caridac surgeon) and he has books of PLAB, USMLE etc....I looked at one of them and the question was exactly the same, Only the last two parts had been modified, while the first part in the real PLAB paper asked for three organs, CIE asked for 2.

DID YOU SEE THE ANSWERS FOR THAT QUESTION IN PLAB ASKING FOR THREE ORGANS? (was one of the answers lungs?)

 

[Haris Sal11]

n
no no it isnt.... I just checked it....

So, I'll score 1 out of 4. Any chance the examiner could give me a mark for writing more oxygen less oxygen? -_-

Nope. Sorry!
There's no OXYGEN in pee.
