k so screw biology and it's dumb MC. Bio was going to be the saviour to my ATAR but now... I don't think I'm going to make it into my top preference.

How about question 14? LOL, when I first looked at that question I got so confused, but once you break down the question you'll realise how easy it is.

yeh i might not make my 90 ATAR now.

Stuffed english up --> around 76 i think.
Bio ---> probs around 88 or somethin (hopefully higher..im still confident but im not sure how they gonna mark it)

Math on wednesday i need to get like 95+ now, like definitely, anything else is not gonna help my get my atar.
Chemistry i really need to get like a 83 (meaning i need like 88 examination mark because i stuffed my rank up at trials.. went from 1st to 6th.. lol)
And physics i need to get like 88 or 89 now.

Am just praying i can do this.

Oh okay, I thought the course you wanted you were able to choose your best subjects to help you.

tbh the multiple choice was so ambiguous that not even those state rank tutors can confidently post their answers and say this is (most likely) the answer

What did people draw for the diagram of results testing water purifying tablets. I drew 2 agar plates
I did three - one control (sealed agar plate with nothing, to prove the agar was not contaminated), one with the tablet and one without

Ok, multiple choice question is definitely C. Macrophages are non-specific immune responses, making B a wrong answer. Cytokines being released is a big clue already.

I didn't know that cytokine referred to interleukins. If it said interleukin specifically I would've put C, but I saw it as the toxic that killer T-lymphocytes produce. :hammer:

i think i really screwed up the MC... wasn't thinking properly when it came to the codominance... thought of bacteria/fungi but just disregarded fungi and paid more attention to the cell wall and membrane for bacteria xD man the epidemiological study one.. caught me out.. wow i think i'll get like 15. thought the rest was okay esp communiaction but i guess short answers are a bitch to score in cos they'll deduct 1 or 2 marks here and there and bam out of 80s. was only aiming for 80 originally maybe i should aim lower LOL

AND I STUDIED SO HARD. fml
