Guest iblearner Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Right? It was unexpectedly difficult. Paper one was good, paper 2 well it was not the best paper I've done, but I'm counting on Paper 1 and Paper 3, and my IA Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

livethemoment Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I honestly found it unexpectedly hard. I mean I personally knew very well about 85% of the course but I feel like paper 2 consisted of the 15% that I was uncomfortable with...

FrenchIB Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Exactly the same for me ! I knew all the hardest chapters (eg: molecular biology) by heart and they didnt even ask anything on those chapters... so I couldn't show off what i knew haha Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristinemjs Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I found paper 1 really hard actually Compared to all the past papers I practiced.. Paper 2 was okay, but still I was left with a feeling of; how am I supposed to show my knowledge through this exam?!? I felt like they left out so many important things! baahh I chose the first question in section B. But the time...... Soo little time : ( I feel like I did okay, but I definitely feel like I could have done better. Some of the questions were mean. 3 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iblearner Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 like, they didn't even ask a heart question. like um? I made some really dumb mistakes in paper 2, and i just didnt like the paper in general. Paper 2 was bleh. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seung Hun Han Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 What did you guys pick for the ecology question where it asked to distinguish trophic level and site of digestion for a producer/consumer/saprotrophs/detritivores? I chose Consumer, Heterotrophic, Site of digestion: Internal. Basically, after excluding two choices that said saprotrophs/internal digestion and detritivores/external digestion, I was left with two other choices. It is especially odd because I couldn't find any information that tells me site of digestion of consumers... 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) omg please have low grade boundaries this year's exams seems to be very difficult and too specific. IB is probably running out of things to ask students haha Mine was TZ2 btw Edited May 6, 2016 by Guest Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerezaM Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 I personally spent my whole study break to study bio cause i never really got it and i managed to learn all of physiology-none was there, all of genetics-there was one question about the blood groups in pp1, molecular biology and so on... I had a feeing that they just decided to put in all the not-so-important stuff that, however, is in the book so they thought "ah we didnt put this in a paper yet" and they just put in all that: meaning the methane and water properies, the experiments in pp3 and all. All of my class did pretty bad so we're all hoping for lower boundaries. What do you think? 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
