I focused heaps on uncommon case studies for the first question. Went of the basic Herodotus/Livy/Tacitus structure before delving into the post-modern nature of the public opinion and based most of my response on the history wars, the internet and Assassins creed (Yes, seriously, apparently...
This is the largest load of shit that i have seen on BoS.
Your subjects scale very well, with the exception of SoR. All of them will scale slightly up (other then SoR) assuming you get a decent mark (above 80), while economics and physics typically scale quite well (mark of 85 will be pumped...
Markers go about marking through a specific mechanism - Positive marking. They do not take marks off, they give marks. The idea is that a band-6 student should be able to synthesise enough information to fit onto the space they give you. Going over by 6 pages will just put them in a bad mood...
I think you may have shot yourself in the foot a bit. The key to biology is not knowledge-dumping, but the precise communication of relevant information. 6 pages is going to leave a bad impression on the marker, and gives you 6 times the chances of making what is called a "contradiction". In...
Because every new generation, the same biscuits are put back into the jar. In reality, the biscuits would change over time, because yellow biscuits would give birth to more yellow biscuits
Re: General Thoughts: Biology
What did you guys answer for the MC one that had the picture of the pathogen and was like which pathogen is this? Cause I was confident in my answer but my friend answered another one so I'm really confused. Lol
It was a bacterium, it had membrane-bound...
Re: For question 28 I didnt talk about microeconomic policies? comments
Ahaha, this was such an extension history type question.
Don't worry, the markers recognise that there is too much to write about for which is supposed to be a 35-45 minute essay (even though most of us spend like and hour...
Too easy. The only thing slightly difficult were about 4 of the multiple choice (which could be figured out as long as you paid attention and crossed out the obviously wrong ones) and the last question for Genetics option topic - Thank god i studied that x.x
Multiple choice questions were a bit rough, but do-able. Hopefully 19 or 20 for that.
The main section i felt was a breeze. Yes, lots of long-ish questions, but they all offered good opportunities to pick up marks.
The genetics Option topic was a bit of a scam XD Im SO lucky that i studied...
I suspect that this question will be discounted. I've heard very convincing arguments from both sides, and even my teachers are arguing back and forth on emails about it.
Either way, the working I posted before seems too complicated for a multiple-choice, so i suspect they were over-thinking...
I answered $2 for Q18, but i got an interesting response from a teacher, who said such:
The answer is $4.
Why?
It is all to do with the law of supply (Y11 Econ). Before the subsidy, At $10 there were all suppliers only willing and able to supply 12 towels to the market.
With the...
