IB1011 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 How did everyone do?I think I did alright, considering I had to learn a whole new optional unit the night before the exam!! But it went really nicely and I was sure about almost everything. My optional units were Medicines and drugs and Human biochemistry. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellwo Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I did medicine and environmental. I thought medicine was easy but environmental had a lot of stuff we didn't cover extensively. Luckily I was able to guess the right answers. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizz_Wendy Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 I did environment and analytical options. There were one or two questions that seemed quite unconventional (such as one about the fluctuation of carbon emission). But basically, IB is just changing over topics on the syllabus that the past two years didn't cover as much. Papers now really like questions such as state the source of PCB or PAH. Sometimes if one didn't scrutinize, these minor points would be easily missed. Syllabus is still the all-important guide. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kero Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Mine was environmental and industry. Both went well, which was awesome. Because I needed to drag my abysmal paper 1 and 2 grades up. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IB1011 Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 There was a question on med and drugs section that asked 'Define sympathetic drugs' and I had to guess on that question. Does anyone know the right answer? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0urhan Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 It was an ok paper, the questions were a bit different from the papers I checked but it went good especially considering that I studied 80% of the two options by myself the night before! I feel that I did better than in paper 2 (which I messed up ) so hopefully it will push my grade up a bit! I do Environmental and Industrial..What did you guys say for that question about carbon fluctuations??As usual I made a whole lot of stuff up and said that it was because of changing seasons which cause there to be more evaporation in the summer and thus more water vapor in the air and I somehow linked this to CO2..haha, is this in anyway correct??

pap6r Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 There was a question on med and drugs section that asked 'Define sympathetic drugs' and I had to guess on that question. Does anyone know the right answer?You mean a sympathomimetic drug? There was a question about that, and I said that it was a drug that stimulates the sympathetic nervous system.

Drake Glau Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 It's either a drug that stimulates it or a drug that has effects that replicate the effects of the sympathetic nervous system. I never actually went an looked it up afterwards, I chose my 2nd definition. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the drug causes the same effects on the sympathetic nervous system, not stimulate the system itself. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellopoppets Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hey which questions did you find easy/hard on biochem and analytical? I'm trying to recall the questions almost a month later and having some difficulty. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
