I meant that not carefully reading the question and instead looking at the first word 'Explain' and seeing the words 'mitosis', 'health', 'fruit fly' and 'natural selection' gives off the aura of a nasty HSC question.

This was not at all in the Section I of the paper. Making people's heart drop and sh*t.

Hard to estimate, but about mid 60's to mid 70's.

God dang it. Somehow I read 'cell...' then looked at 'membrane' and it registered in my brain as "cell membrane". What an idiot.

So in the 6-8 markers, I have discussed and answered the questions in detail. However, I feel like it was not enough to be pushed to a full-marker. For example, in the communication 8 marker, it asked for problems in visual accommodation: - I did not explain what accommodation means. (I didn't...

Well they can't read your mind. If you had put this statement into the exam they might have considered it. If not, they'll just see no reason to give marks to your phacoemulsification.

I was so focused on answering the question I forgot to specify the scientific knowledge I've acquired. I definitely would have gotten full marks if I had talked in specifics. I always leaned towards the question. :chainsaw:

I didn't even read it properly. I read it as 'visual problem'. Luckily I still wrote about the lens correction.

I'm pretty sure I read B saying that there's no need for hygiene practices, which automatically ticked my brain to tell me "wtf u still suppose to wash ur hends idiot".

What I'm mainly disappointed about is that they did not extensively test our knowledge of the whole syllabus. There were references here and there, but I felt that there was unequal focus of the topics.

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...

I mean it did say cell membrane didn't it?

Well it only asked for a visual problem, so I would assume that cataracts can be included in your answer.

They're probably just saying that to be honest. I mean that's what all the smart people say then they act surprised when they get state rank.

Honestly rushed the multiple choice (about 5-10 minutes). I focused a lot on the short response and long response questions.

Variety X migrated while variety Z was the highest population at the time.

If that was the one about the milk, then I put 'D. natural development for stronger immune system' or something like that.

Section one I put as survival of the fittest => Natural Selection Section two I put as competition for resources => Natural Selection

I put: - Phloem vs. Blood vessel - Sugar & water vs. Sugar, water, nitrogenous wastes, carbon dioxide - Pressure flow theory vs. Pumping of the heart

Pretty sure that was fungi as bacteria usually range from 0.5-2 micrometres. I put bacterium though, so.. :chainsaw:
