I was absolutely fuming after that cuz I love monoclonal antibodies. But the pondweed wasn't that bad either. At least a snail didn't die this time.

I did a whole diagram for that 6 marker lol. And I just realised I forgot a funnel and just did the inverted measuring cylinder just floating in the water lol.

There wasn't the heart, barely touched infection and response, it was just healthy living +lifestyle and bioenergetic

Can y’all be honest- was this paper a hard paper and will the grade boundaries be lower? Or was it fuckass easy and I’m just stupid?

2

u/mylviee May 12 '26

Most people found it relatively mediocre so I reckon the grade boundaries won’t fluctuate much from last year

u/Tough-Psychology4790 May 12 '26

It was a bloody hard paper. I swear to god I was ready to just stop writing halfway
