will be interesting as traditionally Unit 3 is the main separator, whereas for Unit 4 the A+ cut off is significantly higher...
I wonder how hard they'll make the exam, but having said that, the content of Unit 4 is definitely easier IMO

Its easy for you, not for me though  :( I'm really scared of evolution stuff.
Do we have to remember exactly events of human evolution? Its like history.

lol
well yeah of course some people find unit 4 harder,
but most seem to agree it's easier
no you don't have to remember that much about human evolution, but yes, you do have to remember some things (characteristics of certain species), in terms of having to "memorise" it's far less than U3 IMO, with immunity being a complete pain in the a***

I didn't think there was too much content in the immune system...but I'm already having trouble with Meiosis and all those weird translocations and non-disjunction crap of U4 :(

i had trouble initially as well, i think that unit 4 is possibly harder initially, but eventually becomes quite simple after learning the material, but yeah ofc each person is better at different things

Just wondering, do getting some questions wrong have a bigger impact than others?
Say if I got like 23/25 for MC and 40/50 for short answer so 63/75(A) but this other guy gets 19/25 for MC and 46/50 for short answer 65/75(A+)
Which would be worth more?

sorry if sound stupid or something... but can someone tell me how the hell this works? LOL

If the cutoff's 59.5 for an (A), what's that mean? like would it mean that my exam +sacs worked out to be between 59.5 and the cut-off of (A+) ? and is it out of 75? :o

apologies for my ignorance. LMAO
