    General Thoughts: Biology

    PHENOtypes not GENOtypes, aka 3 different things expressed, not merely three different genetic compositions. In normal dominance/recession there are only two phenotypes (homozygous dominant and heterozygous both show the same phenotype), whilst in co-dominance there are three, as there is...

    General Thoughts: Biology

    Just in the first half of my answer, but I only really used it to say that the development of antibiotics like this help blah blah blah, so I used it as an example/starting point. I don't think you need to refer to it too much :)

    General Thoughts: Biology

    I talked about how by developing an antibiotic this meant that people could recover more quickly, generally without hospital treatment. This reduces the strain on hospitals who are then better able to take care of other patients. It also reduces the amount of time people take off work, which...

    General Thoughts: Biology

    I got this exactly! So happy, and from reading up on the answers i'm fairly confident we got 100% in that section, yay! This made me laugh so hard! Haha best. Dw, I had no idea either! I'm really happy with multiple choice and fairly pleased with the rest of the core stuff (except the X...

    General Thoughts: Biology

    Re: 2011 HSC Biology Paper Yeah that's what i got. I also did c for 4 and d for 8 (what's the difference between killer and cytotoxic? i thought they were the same :S). Urgh. And i had no idea that 'data logger' was the name of that thing, we've never even used one before at my school! I just...

    Do you use the whole 3 hours?

    Nah i always finish mega early but i'm going to stay the whole time and try to slow down and think through my responses better. No way will i leave early though, i wouldn't be able to forgive myself if i realised i'd gotten something wrong!

    Best bio textbook hsc please help

    I've only used Excel and Macquarie, and i find that Excel is way better for revising and making sure you can remember and recall the content and cleaner layout, whilst Mac is generally better with its info. Although i have heard good things about Bio in Focus, i just wasn't able to get my hands...

    ATAR Estimates - What do you think you'll get?

    Just letting you know that with having 11 units they'll just take your best 10 units NOT combine two. Say if Maths is your worst, then everything else will be counted and only half of Maths will because it's a 2u subject.

    Easy Test but not enough time?

    +1 I sorta needed to pee, but I just held it. I can't go anywhere without my water bottle haha. But yeah, timing was exactly the same as this, I was really happy with it :)

    How difficult is it to get an E4?

    Haha, i'm in exactly the same boat. I'm hoping the markers have grown out of their indie phase.

    Q9(d)

    Well it can't equal 0, because whilst all the other roots cancel out, -sqr1 and sqr100 don't, so the answer must come from adding these two. I'm just wondering about the issue of the square roots being able to be positive or negative :S hopefully they understand what I mean by that so I don't...

    Q9(d)

    Ok this is gonna sound weird but i got 4 answers for that, one of which was 9, because a square root can be positive or negative. So i had 10 - 1 = 9, 10 - -1 = 11, -10 - 1 = -9, -10 - -1 = -11 I found it weird that they seemed to only ask for one solution, unless there was another parameter to...

    After The Bomb 2012

    Hey guys, I'm a 2011 After the Bomb-er so I just thought I'd share my related texts. I used the film The Manchurian Candidate (the original) as well as JFK's Inaugural Address (as a point of juxtaposition). The first one clearly deals with the concerns of the period, with a strong sense of the...

    Exam Predictions? Esp. After the Bomb

    That's what I was thinking, I'll probably prepare one story reasonably well, then have a few vague other story lines I can work with. << I am unlikely to actually be this prepared but I like to think I will be :P I reckon it will be because last year's was so vague and the year before was on...

    Should I be in the top 10 for ranking?

    Just work as hard as you can and make sure that whatever you submit is your absolute best effort; if it is, it will reflect well in your results and ranking. It's absolutely better to aim for 1st because then you aren't making compromises with yourself and saying well it doesn't matter if i...

    Advanced related material

    For Belonging our core text was 'The Crucible' and I used Virginia Woolf's 'Mrs Dalloway', it's fairly short but it's quite complex. Although it is easy enough to link to the course if you analyse it properly and the markers will love you for using a sophisticated text. For Module C our core...

    Exam Predictions? Esp. After the Bomb

    urghhhhhh that sounds awful, so hoping for something that's not too specific! what was the cssa creative trial question? we had a different one

    Exam Predictions? Esp. After the Bomb

    Me too! A specific paradigm, espesh economic, would be awful! I could deal with textual form i think, but i'm really hoping for the intensified questioning one - pretty much sums up ATB.

    2011 HSC Prediction

    Yeah, but since it's split up as 1918-1933 and 1933-1939 they can still ask you about the rise of the Nazi party, so read up on that! I'm really hoping it's a generic Weimar question, eg 'Account for the successes and failures of the Weimar Republic'!
