and alot of A's in the first column
Yeahp same here. I got like 4 C's in a row then 4 D's in a row in the second column, but im assuming one of those D's were wrong.

im pretty sure 1 and 3 is the answer

what are your expected marks?
should get 90+ atleast

btw writing the last answer in point form would have been better imo.
i just mentioned about the negative impact of fossil fuels, positive and negative of alternative sources, concluded

is it just me or were there quite a lot of Cs
i hate it when that happens
yeah. and D's. hardly any B's.
and i had like ABC then another ABC but they all looked right to me

aligning? wtF!
Usually, like half the state gets under 50, but the Board Of Studies wants to show that the students that are being produced under the current education scheme is smart and not retarded. So the marks are aligned so when the marks are reported, only like 0.5% of the state gets are mark under 50 and the rest of the state are pushed up dramatically.

what did you guys get about the flowchart. natural selection thingy.
i wrote: 1. only the beneficial mutations continue with the process, other die out. 2. only those with the variation survive to mate, decrease in numbers of others 3. favorable characteristics now dominate 4.repeats
or something like that...

Oh and what did you guys put for bodily coordination? I put nervous system sends signals and endocrine system (hormones) control and regulate bodily functions. I think I'm wrong though... :(

Yeah, my last one is kind of like repeat as well, but in words that make it sound smarter than just 'repeat'.

OH. MY. GOD. IM GOING TO KILL THE BOS COORDINATOR! When i saw that question, i was like "Hey, Endocrine and Central Nervous System." Then i saw the question saying to use source B and i was like hang on a minute... I asked the BOS person and they said that I was to use the Source.

So now i have an answer with the digestive and the nervous system. -__-

I put:
1. some species adapt differently
2. better adapted can kill better or hide from predators better
3. better adapted wipe out worse adapted lower species or starve out predators
4. better adapted survive to reproduce.

Oh that one was extremely weird.
It was part b) of question 61 i believe and it said above "Please refer to Source A for the next question". I did CNS but then risked a mark by just doing digestive which was in source B.
