I'm doing 12 and 32 and that's going to be an AM session on Thursday. For maths, we asked our principal and he said that many people from other schools are also complaining about how paper 42 was hard. I think the grade boundaries are going to be low this year. (I hope.)
And I think variant 1, 2 and 3 all have different questions so it doesn't matter when the exam is taken. Like you may have paper 11 at PM and I may have paper 12 at AM, it wouldn't matter anyways. But all people taking the same variant have to do the exam at the same time so that nobody can cheat or get the questions before the exam.

Hi guys! Are epithelial cells and goblet cells the same? If not, can u help define each of them? Because my book says the villus is covered w goblet cells but the mark scheme to qp32 M/j 2014 BIOLOGY says they are epithelial cells (it is in question 5b).
Many thanks!

No i dont think they are the same because goblet cells are specialized epithelial cells, they usually secrete mucus, present in stomach lining, trachea , intestines. These cells are scattered in the epithelial lining of certain organs like mentioned above. Also epithelial cells are those that line the upper surface of the organs (form the epithelium) and in books too they have said goblet cells are specialized epithelial cells so in this way i dont think we can call both of them the same. Also villus is covered with epithelial cells in which there are specialized cells called goblet cells that secrete mucus.

Check on internet once again if u got doubts.

Hi Guys,
So here comes Biology paper 11 & 31
Well General Advise in Paper 11 As my Opinion is to Just read the Book and do Pastpapers
while Doing pastpapers of paper 11 Just Concentrate on the Specific Question
While in paper 31 just Read the Book and Use Guides and Other Types of Notes as well
Some Important Topic's Are
Ecology,Transport in Plant's as well as In Human's,Variation, Selection, Inheritance and most importantly
Classification
Well Best of Luck Guy's
And Most Importantly Pray For Me
Hi, how was ur exam??
