    General Thoughts: English Advanced Paper 2

    I'm pretty sure the question was a "To what extent" question, hence you could have said to a minimal extent and argued otherwise etc.

    Cut off

    lol just because you meet the cut-off requirements for band 6 in english does not mean that you will get it, you must also have a high internal mark.

    General Thoughts: English Advanced Paper 2

    I think that is the general consensus with most people, well atleast myself anyway :) Since they prescribed for speeches and poems, these texts will be scaled higher imo

    General Thoughts: English Advanced Paper 2

    lol Thank God I didn't rely on a memorised essay for Module B which specified the poem "Second Coming" for W.B.Yeats, all together it was a solid paper, I thought I did rather well, and I managed to finish every section:)

    Biology question

    Yes that is right:), the scale initially reads 1um:1000nm, then you can make it 0.001um:1nm, by using the scale it would be approx 130nm, then we go 0.001x130=0.130um=D :)
