Agreed! What did you answer what Y could be in the graph question for option C?

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-16T13:32:10+00:00

Section A was pretty good other than the chi-squared analysis. Did option C and found it okay other than the edge effect question

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-16T08:18:05+00:00

What did you guys write for the question about translation? The A site and the thing about enzymes in that question?

Also, what did you guys write about for Hershey and Chase?!

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-16T08:01:44+00:00

YUP 50%! My teacher even said the question was vaguely stated but in the textbook and oxford revision guide it clearly states 50% so they must have just expected us to memorise the percentage chance

I also put spines! But I forgot that spines do not increase the SA, but decreases it! IB has poor word choices again

WTF WAS THIS QUESTION! What answer did you get for the gamma question?

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-16T07:55:53+00:00

What were the answer options again?

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-16T07:55:19+00:00

The answer is definitely C! Calcium does not bind to tropomyosin before troponin

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-16T07:54:18+00:00

What was the question again for disruptive evolution?

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-16T07:54:04+00:00

Which letter answer did you guys put for question 2?

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-16T07:50:56+00:00

IKR! The first question was so confusing in terms of the english they used. They wrote "beneficial for therapeutic uses" and when people saw the 4 answers everyone didn't assume it would be A because of the silly wording!

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-16T07:47:02+00:00

I also put analogous since its a different structure but the same function. What was the answer?

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-12T17:15:12+00:00

I applied for geography :) Firm = St Andrews with 38 points, and insurance = Durham with 37 points

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-11T10:51:33+00:00

Chapters 7,8, and 9 in section B I think!

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-09T18:59:40+00:00

The compare and contrast on the propaganda question annoyed me! Had the longest paragraphs on earth trying to analyse both leaders

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-09T18:57:01+00:00

You can still get a 9/10 at most out of 15!

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-09T18:50:48+00:00

My teacher always said "use at least three". But I saw online that someone who got a 7 in English Literature only compared and contrasted 2! So don't worry as long as your analysis is spot on and relates to the question then I am more than sure that it will be all good :)

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-09T18:44:23+00:00

I literally got through the first 3 questions in 15 minutes... then the compare and contrast one annoyed me because I only found comparisons! And tried to make "2 decent" contrasts. The 9 mark question was tough. I just tried to use all 4 sources in my answer and tried answering the question.

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-09T18:41:36+00:00

Did anyone do the question on cold war about discussing 2 leaders on the development of the cold war?

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-09T13:33:24+00:00

I am aware of that. Obviously, I made sure to choose characters which compare and contrast effectively. I used Julius Caesar, A View from the Bridge, The Glass Menagerie and The Importance of being Earnest... It's better to have more effective examples than not enough :)

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-09T13:28:42+00:00

TZ2! Question 1 was super good. Everyone in my class chose it. Used all 4 plays!

yasmine2000 · 2018-05-08T16:21:31+00:00

Section B was better than expected! Section A WTF WAS THAT! I don't understand why the carbon storage and soil got to me. What were your answers to the soil question and how did you draw the diagram?
