    General Thoughts: Biology

    You mean the unchanged living fossil? (trilobite) http://www.omniology.com/Apus-LivingTrilobite.html

    General Thoughts: Biology

    Indeed, but there is absolutely no evidence that shows rapid change in the fossil record, so even though lack of evidence doesn't really equate to evidence, it was the "most" correct answer (gotta hate that :\ )

    General Thoughts: Biology

    I can understand peoples choice of cytotoxic t cells as it seems like a more specific form of killer t cells (therefore is most correct rather then a contradiction as you put it). I myself thought there was some subtle difference between the two and decided to stick with killer t cells as that's...

    Re: 2011 HSC Biology Paper I explained it here: http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=269604&p=5556204&viewfull=1#post5556204

    General Thoughts: Biology

    The rise to the the idea of punctuated equilibrium is because of the incomplete transitional fossils; ie there aren't really any fossils that show a "transitional" state. (Even the archaeopteryx was shown not to be a transitional fossil just recently). Now the question "How does the fossil...

    Re: extra marks!! It was Q3, i answered with B

    General Thoughts: Biology

    Re: 2011 HSC Biology Paper Yeah typo on my part I meant it to be C. While punctuated equilibrium is about rapid change, it was developed due to the lack of fossil record. See: http://www.living-fossils.com/2_1.php The history of most fossil species includes two features...

    BOS investigating Q8.

    Re: extra marks!! I circled D then crossed out and put B, so i practically would of had it correct either way :) There is only one mc im not sure about but hopefully i will get 20/20

    General Thoughts: Biology

    Re: 2011 HSC Biology Paper I thought 4 would be C not A, as it was asking for chromosomes not dna (dna consists of all of A as well as proteins from a quick search on the internet). Additionally question 20 i thought was A as the idea of punctuated equilibrium was developed to make up for the...

    What happens if you miss an exam?

    You get 0, you can't redo it. However if there was a legit reason for you missing it you would have to fill out a misadventure form and they give you an external mark based off your internals

    Cheating

    I don't think the bos approved calculators have the capability to remember formulas however you could write on the inside cover of the calculator (not recommended though as you would easily be caught out). Back when I was in Victoria we had to use the $180 graphic calculators and just before...

    He may not even have to go to tafe to get into uni, he could always take a couple years break and do some apprenticeships until he finds something that he wants then enter uni as a mature age person. Alternatively if he gets a low atar he can try and get through with the STAT test (that's my...

    Witness Module B

    Was about to ask that, my sentence structure kept drifting so I had to continually remember to throw in a technique and then make up some way as to how that better reveals the character's struggles, etc

    Who didn't study after today's exam ?

    I tried studying maths but every time I opened the book I'd just stare at it blankly for 30min or so before falling asleep. Eventually I gave up and watched some movies

    English module C

    Yeah I did a similar thing as well in saying there was both negative and positive consequences. I tried to alter my sentence structure so that it wasn't so much referring to barriers but listing some as "temporary" consequences, e.g emotional turmoil "I'm a freak, a half caste..." (but she...

    how much did everyone write?

    3,3,3 I felt I could have written more for the first one but decided I'd use the extra time for the more annoying questions
