What examiners said

Most candidates found this identification straightforward. The liver was slightly more difficult for candidates to locate with some confusion with the pancreas.

— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0654/31 Q2(a)(i) (Cambridge)

A significant number of candidates attributed absorption to A, the mouth, presumably confusing it with ingestion. The majority of candidates correctly selected a site of digestion, with an equal number for each of the options available. The most common mistake was to identify the colon as a site of digestion.

— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0654/31 Q2(a)(ii) (Cambridge)

Most candidates used the information to identify that rhinos are herbivores. Some thought it was a secondary consumer rather than primary, presumably because it is on the second trophic level. It was clear some candidates had not read the information provided as they guessed carnivore.
