What did everyone get for the multiple choice ? I personally think the exam was easy especially the communication option

How would you compare it to last year's content based exam? Was it harder and did it have more skills and applications in its questions?

Yeah it was definitely an easier exam this year, which means it will be scaled harsher :S

Pretty glad they didnt ask any questions on transcription and translocation for polypeptides. The only question I feel pretty bad about was the one about the fusion of the gametes being cloning or not :S

The Human Story was perfect as <333

The average was correct because you had to disregard Trial 4 as it was an outlier. So with that assess question the average was accurate.

Overall, found the paper pretty straightforward, the genetics option was surprisingly easy as well they coulda chosen much more difficult questions. Also surprised that there was nothing on the nephron and very minimal on the immune response (just plasma B cells and inflammation)
