I still think they could both be right. Because, your airways do not 'relax' in a threating or stessful situation. And also, the production of salvia isnt increased either.

Its C because the sympathetiv nervous system increases expansion and rate of oxygen production and in doing this it relaxes the airways.

NOTE: I'm obviously not sure.


This year's exam looks a bit harder than last year's.

Hey champ i think some of your multiple choice might be wrong.. Q28 for example i think is not correct, but the others im not to sure!

[psychlaw]

28 is right
its definately A

[moshi]

someone on BoS posted that we'll only be able to lose 3-4 marks for an A+ because apparently the teachers/markers found the exam easy 
i hope that's not the case 

[psychlaw]

lol thats such a lie, that was the threshold last year for a 48 study score

A+ can cover up to a SS of 37

[daniel99]

i hope that's not the case 

lol i doubht it would be that harshly marked..atleast 8-10 marks could be dropped to get an A+ at the minimum i think?

[moshi]

i think they meant 3-4 before doubling

[sisqo1111]

according to multiple choice answers from Daniel and Eriny i got 39/44 and for short answer i think i lost about 3 marks. so thats a score of 82/90, hopes its enough for an a+ but i doubt it. hopefully i at least get an A

[ilovesuck]

^still too harsh... i doubt it would be that strict for a+ (in reference to moshi post)

in any case, i think i got full marks for multiple choice section.  its the short answer where ill lose a fewwww......

[psychlaw]

So do I... same thing still stands

If someone got 86/90 on both exams last year they would've gotten a 48+

Im pretty sure the least it could be is 9 to 10 marks (across both) for an A+
but generally its around 12 (across both)
