My bio test was a bitch. I havnt got the paper because of security reasons, ie not to sell it to people who were sick. Half the questions were hard, half did not make sense.

EG. multiple choice question:

Which is correct:

(a) An kangaroo is an ectotherm and a lizard is an endotherm
(b) A lizard is an endotherm
(c) Both are ectotherms
(d) an kangaroo is an ectdotherm

( d is not a spelling error, thats what was written, and im presuming it is the correct answer seeing that the rest are false)

This was one of the many errors. I honestly think it was written an hour before.

This question appears extremely irrelevant because the teachers cannot expect you to distinguish between given examples - however you can be asked to discuss your own examples.

Are you kidding?? The UNSW Bio tut test was easy! Unlike the HSC which is full of crap, they actually require real knowledge to complete the tut test. :D

I just did mine and got 82% and 1st/~50. But I was still dissappointed because I made too many silly mistakes.
