Percentile of AS Biology 9701

[Nunuu22]

Hey guys. I'm assuming most of you have given Biology AS exam, this year. I wanted to ask if most of you found paper 2 bizarre or is it just me?
Cause if like most of you found it hard, then the threshold may fall down (Which im hoping does) cause the paper went really bad.

I found it incredibly hard I'm talking about p.22 they were all application based questions i hope to god that 30/60 is an A how was p.12

 

[Nunuu22]

Same here. Gave p22 as well. I really hope so, how did others think it went? Like people around you? P12 was better, like an upper-B type paper.

 

[Barbaric96]

some people found it really bad some found it good some found it mediocre but most people if not all on the internet found it very hard. p.12 was a relatively easy paper but i was very stressed and did a lot of mistakes there were 5 questions in which id write the right answer first and then rub it and write something else because of my overthinking i don't think the GT for p.12 is low this time cause 10 questions were repeated!
how were your practicals? and how did the people around you find the papers?

 

[Nunuu22]

Aahh, tell me about it. Did the exact same thing.
Well,I'm not much concerned about paper 12, I just hope the thresholds low overall. So that I could at least get a border line A
People found it pretty weird here, as well. Like, they weren't satisfied enough.
Practical was super easy, I loved it.

i don't remember the variant for the practicals that we did but did you get a question on respiring yeast cells and methylene blue and another question investigating the effect of temperature on yeast cells if so can you tell me what you wrote in your table?

 

[Barbaric96]

CIE is ridiculously strict in marking p.3 they literally minus marks for tiniest mistakes

YEPPPP, THAT ONE. I don't remember but the sequence went like 45, 80 and 100.

Which variant are you talking about sis ? Cause I did variant 1's.

No i was talking about variant 2's.

In the varient 33 paper, the sequence was 100, 80 , 40, with 40 being the respiring yeast cell, and 100 the dead one. P22 was not a routine paper, p12 was better, p33 was good. Threshold would be P12: 32/40 P22: 42/60 p33: 32/40.

Well biology p.22 was quite average, it was difficult from all past years and not so very easy. Hoping for the threshhold to fall down. Inshaa Allah.
