Man wtf was that paper. I cried after coming back home, literally. Even the questions that I knew, I ended messing them up. Sigh, so demotivated and disheartened. :( I have a 102 in AS and was really hoping for an A*, worked hard the entire year but I don't think it will happen..

The poll can asure you that it was a large number that found the paper hard. Hopefully gt will be in 50s. I mean 2014,2013 M/J papers were not this hard and had a gt of 56/100. Lets hope for the best.

What about the 5 marks waste products question? Can we write about CO2 in it?
Lactic acid.
Edit: CO2 is wrong as it is only a product of anaerobic respiration in yeast. Here only runners were considered
