What examiners said

More candidates could identify the ovary but some confused it with the stigma. The sepal proved more of a challenge with all other plant parts given as responses.

— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0973/32 Q2(b)(i) (Cambridge)

Candidates found the identification of these parts demanding. A common misconception was that pollination took place when a pollen grain is transferred from the stigma (A) to the ovary (E).

— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0973/32 Q2(b)(ii) (Cambridge)

Candidates should be encouraged to engage with questions that require a diagram to be labelled. Label lines should end exactly on the structure being labelled.
