Re: how did you go?

I know what you mean!!! I studied B and T Cells for ages!
Al though i thought the exam was sooooo good! I'm not sure you could have asked for a much better exam!!!
I was so stoked wheh i got out...looking at a Band 6 (cross fingers...)

 

[alez]

i reckon it was a pretty good exam
didnt like much of communication tho

Re: how did you go?

OMG The GENETICS option was harddd, took me like an hour to finish. The first section was not too bad, except the 8 marker, wehre it was a bit cinfusing. well, NO MORE BIO EVERRRRRRRRRRRR

Re: how did you go?

Biology is just applied chemistry.

He doesn't actually do bio...so just ignore his posts in this section (he seems nice enough everywhere else he posts though).

The scans if anyone was interested: here

As for the rest, more or less basic. A couple of them i had to think twice about. Also, multiple choice qu5 about the polio vaccine none of them were right? I ended up writing c) even tho it talked about B-cells yet polio is a VIRUS and therefore are attacked by Killer T-cells not by antibodies! The one with Tc cells said that it attacked "all viruses that enter the body" so that was wrong. Confused me for a while i have to say. Anyone else?

No more bio!!

That's what i thought too... So i just stuck with C as well

Hope it smooths out okay. Does anyone kno if the HSC has ever had typo's / wrong answers before?

 

[russianROULETTE]

gah, stupid phloem question. i always hated phloem - i put sieve plate and sieve element. considered putting companion cells, but didn't...

Re: how did you go?

6 and 8 were C

Pretty sure it was D for 6

[2008Premiers!]

That test was pure torture! i had absolute no idea.

 

[Knowingnothing]

Lmao. I stuffed up Multiple Choice so bad.

Reckon I only got 7-8 right at most.

 

[ozsunny2]

ur right about the polio question
it was dodgy.

Re: how did you go?

heyyyy

I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!

i did sooo much work on all of the lines of defence, and on transcription and translation, etc.... and FOR WHAT?!?!?? :burn:

Hey, we did have a question on polypeptides that you could have applied that knowledge too (a little, at least).

Re: how did you go?

what about the question about disease in tasmanian devils? i was like uhhhh everything i know is to prevent human disease and so all i did was say you could use quarantine and etc but its expensive and you can't control wild populations... and then said get heaps of the non-diseased animals and stick them in captivity til the disease goes away so the species will still survive lol

but what is a good answer??

 

[deelovesjohnny]

it was the worst biology exam ever!! barely anything i knew really really well was on there.

 

[obimoshman1234]

OMG BEST BIO EXAM EVER SO EEASSSSSSYYYYYYYYYYYY

i mean all of it was just so nice

 

[malak1]

That bio exam was okay when u compare it to past years but when u add up the questions LIke that question on bLoOD banks that was just STUFFT and for what 8 MARKS!! wat happened to pasteur And my frieND KOCHyy.

all THAT FOR NOTHING!!

AND THAT communication question on the insect and discs . I had no clue!!!

multiple choice was gud though .. I HOPE

 

[obimoshman1234]

It didnt say to prevent human disease i think it said to keep the healthy animals from not developing disease. I put captivity fences, nets. Developing vaccine/treatment for disease and killing infected animals otherwise

Re: how did you go?

How many marks was that question worth?
