Baller97 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 I did option G and E, but i can't remember which time zone the exam was. I had questions on types of inhibitory and exitatory drugs, label neurones, simpsons diversity index calculation which was hard!!You probably did TZ2 - I did the same options and got the same questions I don't remember labelling any neurons though... Unless you're SL I did HL and the exam was honestly not so great - not as easy as I expected it to be. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethiedrama101 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 How did every one feel about Paper 3? I did Options E and G and found them to be pretty easy minus one of the math questions on a DBQ (which every one in my class got different answers haha)I did E and H (HL) and they were easier than I expected as I've done some much more complicated DBQ's during the bio classes Did you do TZ2? or TZ1? I was rather disappointed by how simple the questions were.... I actually tried to remember all the names for the eye, brain and ear structures, and studied everything in detail.... And all that option E asked was some silly short questions about behavior, the names of 2 psychoactive drugs and the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system...... Like really.... ".Yeah exactly.I did option D and E.The qs were rather nice and smooth and it was just a bless after the previous papers I feel you. I was memorising like crazy and the questions were so simple. I spent a week studying paper 3 and I probably didn't even need to. You actually found the paper easy? What options did you do? TZ2? I did A and E at SL TZ2. My teacher had us doing past papers for 6 months before the exam so all the questions I had encountered, I had seen at least a few times before and I knew the answer I needed to put to get max marks Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do well on it? I partially blanked so just wrote several short sentences with functions I was pretty sure of, so hopefully I get at least 5 points Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBFreaked Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 I did options E (neurobiology and behaviour) and F (Microbiology), HL. I was rather disappointed by how simple the questions were.... I actually tried to remember all the names for the eye, brain and ear structures, and studied everything in detail.... And all that option E asked was some silly short questions about behavior, the names of 2 psychoactive drugs and the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system...... Like really.... The only question i found hard was the Option F "give 2 reasons why the virus could have distributed like that" (I didnt even recall that being mentioned in the syllabus or studybooks, but i improvised and put some pretty valid guesses.)...And even so, the question wasnt exactly "hard".I felt the exact same for option E! Glad someone else thought so too :/ quite disappointing... 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milanoly Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) TZ1 and I definitely am satisfied with the options my teacher had pushed us towards doing which were D (evolution) and G (ecology). Definitely am very satisfied with how I did! Although some of the questions that related to the data section I stretched sooooo far, lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edited May 11, 2015 by milanoly Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorianb Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I am in SL and I did A and C. It was okay though the data response was a bit weird tbhDid the same ones, but found the data responses quite straight forward.. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelina Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I was stuck on the micrograph question for H, I was going to write 'microvilli' but decided otherwise and wrote some other crap, now I regret it. So glad about the parasympathetic and sympathetic question though, I actually understood that! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journal Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I did options A and G and I thought it was kinda easy. The Simpson's index one, how exactly do you calculate it and what was the answer you got because my classmates and I argued about that. I got 4.75 or Something like that Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex The Awesome Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Tz1 - Liked the test and did Options F and G for HL Bio, which looking at everyone here, is an unusual combination! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBFreaked Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 For one/ two (cant remember) questions, I wrote outside the Black Box... It was only about two sentences or so... I had no idea that this would be a problem but it is apparently! Do i get docked off marks for this?? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex The Awesome Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Well, @IBFreaked, this could be. They don't mark out of the book anymore, they scan in the boxes and any answer booklets you have and IB has this system called e-marking. So, if you wrote outside the box, your answer could be cut to what you wrote within the box... I suppose at this point, it might be best to pray that your scanning person is 1) a person, not a machine and 2) notices the cutoff, and decides to be nice and scan the surrounding also. Good luck, esp if you still have some more exams coming up (and this is why you use an answer booklet). Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
