You didn't necessarily have to say that it was genetic drift, as long as you provided features of it and applied it to the distribution of lactose intolerance you'll get the marks

I had a similar thing for the first part and then went on to talk about geographical isolation and gene flow, which is what I thought the question was supposed to be about. Still quite a strange question.

Disappointed at the fairly small amount of content which was assessed, although I’m liking the way this new syllabus is trying to move away from rewarding rote-learners.

I'm expecting one of the long responses to be something about 'working scientifically skills' in epidemiological studies since they drew upon that area of the syllabus in the EES exam. Hopefully the other one isn't about module 6 (biotechnologies or reproductive technologies) like my trial was...

How does the structure of this assessment task actually work? I'm aware that you have to perform 2 pieces of no more than 10 minutes total (and I know about the topic requirements) but how does this work with playing movements from a larger work. I was planning on playing Mozart's K283 Sonata...

I don’t think it will affect your mark, unless your markers get angry that you didn’t follow instructions and give you poorer marks. The only reason they tell you not to use whiteout is because it can damage the machines that scan the papers, not because it can facilitate malpractice. Once...

If you are given the size of an angle in radians in the question I think it is assumed that your answer will be in radians. That said, asking for a decimal approximation of an angle isnt something that lends itself to be expressed in radians, so I think you would be unlucky to be penalised.

Try forming a quadratic equation in terms of x^2 using the same process you would when finding the square root of a complex number, but using a and b as your real and imaginary parts.

Given that 68.00 is the selection rank not ATAR, so called ‘adjustment factors’ (often referred to as ‘bonus points’) can help you get into the course without necessarily getting a 68 ATAR (you’ll have to find out what you’re eligible for but they’re usually things like getting a certain band in...

Is that selection rank or ATAR? It should say on the university's website

You're likely using your internal assessment marks to determine ATAR which could be to your detriment. Your raw internal marks are probably lower than what your final HSC marks will be. Keep in mind that the marks you entered have not been moderated (based on your school's performance), and they...

In the HSC exam, if a question requires a diagram of an organic molecule, what is the expected way of representing it? My teacher often draws diagrams using the condensed form whereas I find it is much easier to use bond-line form. The only real advantage I can see for bond-line, besides it...

I got my final advanced paper (prelim) back recently and noticed that one of the only marks I lost was in the following question: Evaluate 2|−3|−3|−4| I answered 26, although the answer which was expected was -6. My question is, given that there was no way the nesting of the absolute values...

My final preliminary exam for music 2 is in 2 days and I have a question regarding the exam. When the excerpt for one question is being played, am I allowed to answer parts of another question? For example, if I complete all of question 1 before the last playing has occurred, can I complete some...
