No, indirect. The pathogen doesn't directly come to human.

direct contact is mainly person to person and through bodily fluids. Indirect is through a contaminated intermediate object such as the vector (fly)

Is an 87 raw bad or not? A couple in my school said it's likely to be in the bottom half of the scores. Median is apparently 88...

how the hell is 87 raw bad or am i just dumb

 

[aqwerty13402]

its lower than it has been in the past. i.e. 2022 a 78 went to a 90. Same with other subjects, like math adv last year a 79 went to a 90. So a 87 going to 90 is pretty low

Because alignment this year is gonna be horrible ig considering everyone found it so easy. I actually wish it was a harder test. I'm probably not going to get B6 ONLY because I ended up getting 17/20 on mcq looking over it again (I changed 2 of my answers from right to wrong like always). I'll need to get 73/80 in short answer for guaranteed B6 and god knows probably like 70/80 for aligned B6 if I'm lucky. I'ma actually be so pissed if I see 89 as my hsc mark.

I did the exact same thing. I could have gotten 19/20, but I chnaged two of my correct answers and now I'm getting a 17

Was it the questions regarding if tsetse was direct/indirect and the plants immune response? I'm going to remember this lesson for physics and NEVER change my MCQ answers. I'll leave the exam hall early if I even think about doing it this time.

It was the indirect/direct one and the eye diagram question. Also same, I am not going to chnage my mcq for chem or phys...

How is it possible to get "80+" on SAQ?

75+/80 that's what I meant

Better than me who's getting a fucking 16 and likely scored 87, which is in the bottom half apparently the expected median in my school is 88.

ughhh thats so annoying i get 19/20 then

For the TWO biotechs question I did:

GM crops (example: Bt corn and Bt cotton)
Societal: increased yield of food/cotton increases supply of products such as food (Bt corn) and cotton-derived products, decreasing prices for society and giving more options
Ethical implications: Talked about profiteering, biopiracy and religious issues around the use and consumption of GM crops

Biofuels (example: sustainable aviation fuels)
Societal: Talked about decreasing pollution from normal crude oil kerosene used in aircraft, improving quality of life
Ethical implications: Talked about profiteering, biopiracy around the use and consumption of biofuels

How many marks out of 7 did I lose?

might have lost a mark for repetition of similar points for ethical implications, idk if 'GM' crops is too vague for the question or not since GM is a really broad term (obviously it's a biotech but they might have beef with it if u didn't state it was transgenic or something, not sure tho), but its rlly subjective and dependent on marking obviously
