I said some harmless viruses to humans can be used to destroy other bacteria that are harmful to humans.

Viruses can be used in genetic engineering and for making vaccines. I can't even remember doing that question now.

Neither can I :L

Naw I'm repeating this year, got an A1 in biology last year. I studied just as much for it this year and it certainly was much more difficult

just a question why did you repeat biology if you got an A1 or was it compulsory

There could be all sorts of reasons, including the obvious "seeking to maximise points in one sitting", but additionally in this case I'm fairly sure that weirdspider is interested in medicine, and they have that extra horrible rule that applicants have to meet all minimum requirements (including the sciences requirement) in the same sitting as they use for points.

Yup Randy is right! I got all As and Bs last year but didn't get enough points unfortunately

How did we all get on in this anyway, seeing as a lot of us weren't the happiest with the paper. I got the A1 myself after it all.

Thought it was a nasty paper but still came out with the A1. I know someone who got nothing but A1s in biology until this though (A2), needless to say she's gutted!

Vito Corleone

I got an A2 which was what I was expecting. I really wanted the A1 but messed up a bit on the day (experiment and short questions). Looking forward to viewing my paper, I'll appeal if I'm close to the 90.

Shockingly got the (my one and only) A1
F YEAH FOR WEIRD PAPERS





unless its art where it totally screws you over

Never got anything less than an A1 and I also got an A2.. Considering the paper I'm quite happy and my biology teacher gave me a hug and said that it was a great performance with a horrible paper. I will be looking at my script though and may appeal.

thegreatescape

I too got an A2 when I really wanted an A1. I'm viewing my scripts and if I'm close to 90% I'm going to appeal but we'll see.

Thataone

Really disappointed with my C1. Was sure I was headed for a strong B at least.
Going to view the script and see from there as it'd be more for piece of mind as I've got enough points and the required grade for the courses I have down.

Hamza Malik

How do you view your papers? Do you ring the school asking for your papers?

I want to see what went wrong in my biology.. wanted an A1 but got a B2

In my results envelope there was a form that has to be filled in and returned to the school before a certain date.

Ok yeah I think I have that form, do you know when is the certain date? And is it 30 euro to appeal?

I'm not bothered to get up and look at the form but I'm pretty sure it was the 20 something of this month, so we've today and monday anyway to get it into the school. It's free to view the scripts and 40 euro to appeal, all the information about it is on the back of the form.

Thanks brotha from anotha motha!

so shocked with bio result !! thought it went horrible on the day but ended up getting an A1 even though i wrote the equation of a line for an answer!

CookieMonster.x

Got an A1 when it was my worst exam. How I managed that I just don't know :P

David1994

A2. I thought I messed up so be interesting to see what happened if I go view it.

aoifemcg94

Cried and cried after this paper thought I messed up so badly ! Ending up getting an A2 not the A1 I wanted but hey way better than I expected !

yoppo

A1. Thought I messed up parts of the shorts and exp but clearly not... It was always the exp's that let me down!

kevin12345

A1 too! So shocked as I wasn't really sure how I did with all the ambiguous questions! I said at the start of the year all I wanted was an A1 in bio and I got it! Just shows that despite the fúcked up exam, our hard work payed off!

HPMS

I got the A1 too after having a terrible teacher, not finishing the course and then the really vague, unusual paper so I was delighted! Really didn't think I had done that well at all! congrats to the rest of you guys on here too, really shows that hard work is rewarded!

BubblegumBitch

I got an A2 and I'm still so so surprised! I thought the paper was difficult enough and was expecting a C1 - no joke! I'm so happy, best surprise ever haha

Rocketman1337

Got an A2! I am delighted with it!

Ryank9

Was going to drop to Ordinary level 20mins before the exam started but came out with a C1 at higher couldn't believe it!
