THAT WAS SO TROLL.
I looked at it twice, and I didn't realise until i thought to myself, wtf the anvil doesn't do THAT much for them to base 2 marks on it. Hopefully people realised too.

Did way better in my trial!

Hated teh communication section(5 marker on fish/insects enough said!), some of the MC were hard...but i still think I did decently overall but yeah, as said way better on my trial. But overall was happy when it was done :) Most people didn't like at my school, as our trial was easier imho. So amazed at somem sections that didn't a Q in.

What's b6 cut off normally?

I wrote distance of the candle from the lens. There was a ruler in the diagram, and as you know from english, nothing is placed randomly, it all has a reason! :p

I also put the distance of the candle from the lens. I don't think it was the focal lenght as you have to measure the light rays inside the flask.

Well if you discount the fact that I completely blanked out regarding MacFarlane Burnet and I left out the One-Gene, One-Protein bread question, then... it wasn't too bad.

what was that quantiative data thing ? in communication for the eye experiment ?
I put the length of the image projected onto paper, because it would vary with each lens and would show the effects of accommodation on the image with numbers. I thought about doing distance to candle but it was fixed the whole time so I dont see that its a data set that means anything

I put the distance of the focal length and just to be sure also the thickness of the lens.
MacFarlane Burnet I also mentioned how he discovered the self and non-self...
Stupid exam :p

For M.C. about the mature phloem and xylem cells, what was your answer? I said vascular bundle!
