Biology Exam Question Predictions/Thoughts (1 Viewer)

[EGGG]

^^!

 

[yeat]

polypeptide synthesis (mod5), mitosis/meiosis (mod5), artificial insemination/artificial pollination (mod5), point & chromosomal mutations (mod 6), social/ethical implications of biotechnology (mod6), immune system eg. role of helper t cells or cytotoxic t cells (mod7), technologies/diseases for the ear/kidney/eye (mod8),

 

[yeat]

they're likely to come up. Also genotypes & phenotypes (learn the ones for blood type - 6 genotypes & 4 phenotypes)

 

[dizzyinginsignificance]

there's likely to be at least one long response (7-9 marker) that integrates more than one module

 

[dizzyinginsignificance]

that wasnt so bad... but i had no idea where implantation occurred <3

 

[Heraclitussss]

My hand is just dead after all those long answer type questions

How was the exam

urgh the majority of the test was data-processing. i think most people thought it was relatively easy but i found it hard to gather enough info to meet the mark value for some of the questions

 

[Leggie]

Frick, am I the only one who found it somewhat harder, I shouldn't have taken my time

Same i thought there was too much data analysis, and not enough content. Also noticed they didn't assess a lot of topics.
MCQ was easy tho.

How do u guys think it will scale this year compared to last year?

 

[Gryffindor]

what was that mc that said a student made a model of meiosis in somatic cells and we had to say what was wrong with it?? shouldn't one of the options have been it should've been occurring in germ cells? Please don't tell me it actually said mitosis and I read that wrong lmao

 

[Gryffindor]

If i get time, ill go through the MCQ once the scanned version is out of the hsc

thank uu - no pressure though, there is a strong likelihood I read it wrong and mixed up the words. I once read an entire 5 mark question wrong for a diff subject and then realised as I went to re-read the question to write my link sentence and had to start all over again #just flaunting my wide content knowledge to the marker

i put they had the wrong shape or something along the line, cause they worded the homologous one weird

 

[YourRoyalHighness]

what did you guys put for the 2nd pedigree mc

 

[synthesisFR]

If its stimulus based as you said, the average mark will be much higher so it will scale worse.

Right but on an average exam what raw mark would usually align to b6?

 

[nick4nick6]

The answers are the following:
1. B
2. C
3. A
4. B
5. B
6. D
7. D
8. B

How'd you find the paper? NESA usually uploads the paper a few days after but sometimes it can get leaked a bit earlier...

 

[synthesisFR]

@Hivaclibtibcharkwa pls predict b6 cutoff this year

 

[synthesisFR]

This exam was on the lower end of difficulty. Comparable to 2021.
So most likely 84

So what would a 88-90 align to roughly?
