    Indeed.

    Multiple choice

    Q9 isnt D. Muscles produce CO2 as they need to do cellular respiration and the biproduct is co2. It's either B or C. Q14 is Punctuated Equilibrium, if it was divergent evolution it would show GRADUAL changes between generations, Instead over 10-12th generations there was a large change, with no...

    General Thoughts: Biology

    Just talked about mangroves and their ability to secrete salt out of special glands and then shed their leaves, this helps to maintain salt concentration.

    General Thoughts: Biology

    Most carbon dioxide enters the red blood cells and is combined with water to form bicarbonate ions (HCO3-). Some is attached to haemoglobin molecules in red blood cells and a small percentage is transported in plasma as dissolved CO2. From the CSU website. Note: small...

    So it is B? I was sure it was B.

    General Thoughts: Biology

    I had A for Q4. Reason being is that isolation is the key to quarantine, if you move them you're spreading the disease from that enclosure. It says that 'A disease has been identified in animals in one enclosure of the farm', Why would you move them out of that enclosure to another one?

    General Thoughts: Biology

    Re: Hsc 2009 bio exam I thought about it like this. As muscle cells undergo respiration they produce CO2 obviously yes?, When oxygen is delivered to these cells for respiration, the excess CO2 is carried away. The co2 is acidic and thus changes the pH of that particular area of blood, this...

    Harder test this year?

    Maybe you're right. Hmmm. Question says "The height and mass of a child are measured and recorded over its first two years" perhaps its all in that that suggests the idea of 'change'... Its just that it says 'the mass AND height'. Fuck.

    predicted raw marks

    I'm gonna change my estimate. I'll say 90 just because im unsure on a few.

    Harder test this year?

    Did you even check to see if your equation worked? I got your answer originally however after plugging in values for x and realising it was WAY out i was able to work out how to solve it. Extrapolate line, measure amount. Then do gradient which i took from y= 7 down to y = -1.2, divide this by...

    Section II

    Yeah but you're only talking about the amount of hours between 5-6 which means that there would have to be the same amount in total if 25% for each exist in that range. Thats the only way that you could conclude the same amount go onto the internet for 5-6 hours. It's not asking for all hours...

    predicted raw marks

    94ish. Based on me looking through the exam right now and working out what i got wrong.

    Harder test this year?

    Did everyone else get that Q with the equation for a line? what did u get if so.
  14. Macdwg

    Harder test this year?

    The equation can be given as y = mx+b because it was a straight line.

    Harder test this year?

    28) b, II. This graph was incredibly misleading, it didn't start at 0 on the x axis so i had to extrapolate the line and found it had a negative y intercept. No one in my entire grade realised this. Pretty funny.

    Scaling averages for general maths

    The fact it caps at 91 has minimal influence on your UAI so long as your not going for 99+. If you're aiming for about 95 like me then you're sweet. And by the way, BOS Scales marks as well, then they align. Those scaled marks just aren't used in your UAI calculation as UAC do their own scaling...

    Scaling averages for general maths

    She's not talking about the contribution to the UAI. She's talking about the BOS scaling of raw marks. To answer you're question an 86/87 might scale to 88-89. Basically anything over 90 does not change, so in order to get a 95 you will need to get 95 raw.

    HSC Paper 1; Who stuffed up?

    Only thing im concerned about is the creative writing which i did last. Only did 6 pages-ish (800 words). Although they are either going to love it or hate it as its about the dislocation and loss of identity via myspace and online personas and my own attempt to disassociate from those...

    On the day of HSC results, what is given to us?

    Yeah so essentially you can estimate your ATAR with your marks the day before the actual ATAR's are released.

    Conflicting Perspectives

    Used one. Only managed 800 words all up, ran out of time at the end. My analysis of snow falling on cedars was decent though. My related To kill a mockingbird was a tad short but overall it was decent.
