i said it was probably a fruit cake cos if it was a fruit loaf the raising agents would be higher on the list..? they were like last. i didnt know though. i also said that there werent any ingredients that indicated it needed refrigerated storage or anything. not sure if that related...but its...

i thought it was a fairly challenging paper, it was harsh of them to pick two tiny aspects of the syllabus (food additives and swot) and make them worth so many marks. but im just lucky i knew those topics. if it had been storage and distribution i would have been screwed. so im happy! multiple...

i say the less stuff on legislation, the better. YUCK. this is why i DIDNT choose legal studies!

there's 10 or 11 students in my class. yeah food tech is a lot more challenging than people give it credit for, a lot of people have asked me "do you have to cook something for your HSC?" and im like...no its hardly got anything to do with cooking! there is a lot of theory, but overall if we use...

yep im keeping my 4 extra points up my sleeve...however if i got in on my extra points i might not be able to keep up with the course! but we'll see.

yay thankyou! that helps a lot. cos im pretty sure my careers teacher is useless. from what you've said i'd probably prefer to do biomed, but i'll put biotech second just incase i dont get a UAI over 90 :P Ali

I must be missing something really obvious here....ive looked at the UAC guide & the online info and i cant figure out the difference between Biomedical Science and Biotechnology, except the 18 point UAI difference (at Newcastle Uni anyway)! I'm really interested in genetic engineering &...

There's probably other similar threads in here but I can't be bothered searching 19 pages! So here's a fresh one - I just did the Biology exam yesterday and I don't really feel like studying for CaFS tomorrow, so I hope this helps someone! Feel free to share your own tips, we're all here to...

I got all the same except 10...i chose B, the kidney. i was leaning towards D cos the digestive products would come from the small intestine...but does blood pass throughthe small intestine?? i know id be pretty concerned if i found blood in there...haha but anyway, was this question meant to be...

haha waffling/BSing is the best life skill...in the Genetics option, I hadnt done any research about gene expression so i just went to town naming as many online journals/scientific journals/online resources/textbooks as i could, then gave them a rough idea of gene expression...i think it might...

out of 60ish bio students at my school, i noticed about a dozen leave early. some even left at 10.30, as soon as they could! i forced myself to stay for the whole 3 hours even though i could have crammed it all into 2hours 15. i must have rechecked the whole test 2 or three times though...

just one more thing to add...i dont know exactly where my school is ranked, but i think its in the top 50. not like it makes that much of a difference. but over 100 students sat the 3U exam at my school yesterday, and i didnt see too many thrilled faces leaving that exam room. maybe sja is...

i got pi/2 for the value of theta, and for the area in terms of w i think i got w^2/2pi but im not sure.

im thinking his school didnt get the paper at all...they just filled out their attendance slips and put their student numbers on their booklets and thought that was the exam finished...hope it didnt take them the whole 2 hours...
