    Biology Marathon 2006

    Lol yeah Everyone knows good old BT cotton. But I've noticed the dot point actually says you should be able to know both a animal and plant example of a transgenic species. Yeh I've heard of strawberries with anti freeze genes from salmon combined with thim. I guess that would be easy enough to...

    Biology Marathon 2006

    Crime Fiction - Essay

    I discussed in the sense that the mystery in crime fiction is created through the constants in which we as the reader or audience are drawn by the detectives powers of deduction or investigative techniques in trying to conclude who is the murderer? and will a sense of closurer be achieved? But...

    What Did You Think?

    Is this some excuse to boast your vocabulary and to try and sound sophisticated? And lol Ohh snap how the hell did I forget to throw in that The Big sleep is film noir. God I must have written and used those words about 100 times this year. Meh allwell probably -1 marks for me. BTW it was...

    What Did You Think?

    Lol yeah I wondered for a while wtf a picture of a stair case and a man on a bike had to do with destroying the landscape. My interpretation now is its meant to be a povo country with shitty buildings and ppl riding bikes instead of driving cars (Sort of like an Anil's ghost kind of thing)...

    What Did You Think?

    Anyone find that rediculously easy compared to advance english? I'm annoyed though because for some really odd reason I had heaps of time compared to my timed responces at home. I'd been using these expensive office works pens but they ran out a couple of days ago so today I just used a...

    oh noes!

    Lol I'm sort of in the same boat, I never expected Ex English to count but I bombed maths so I've been cramming non stop this week for it. I'm really happy with my purely creative story, but any story involving characters from a set text or to re create a scene from another characters...

    the flaw with 4b (maths 2 unit)

    I'd post this in the maths results forum but no one is looking in their anymore. It just struck me all of a sudden that in the probability question it states that Tanya chose 3 square AT RANDOM. If she has to choose 3 different squares though she would have to physical mark the chessboard...

    Is ur aligned mark based on what questions u get right/wrong at all?

    In aligning your raw mark do the judges take into consideration which questions you got right and wrong at all? In maths for example I made some stupid stupid errors down in questions 2,3 & 4. However I know I've gotten 11/12 for question 9 and 8/12 for question 10. Will this be taken into...

    Good luck for the Biology Exam!

    Every year they do tend to include a question which involves you not simply knowing the facts but applying your biology knowledge to an unseen scenario, its actually also one of the prequisites on the boardofstudies websites for a band 6 student. Take the cattle tagging question from last years...

    answers?

    I'll give it my best shot for you: ii) Prepared slides are an advantage when it comes to gathering information about the structure of nerounes due to the extremely small nature of them. Maginified images from microscopes of the slides allows for accurate scientific diagrams of the physical...

    Biology Marathon 2006

    Gene expression in when a gene is "switched on" resulting in the production of a functional protein. Gene expression is linked to the transfer of information via mRNA and tRNA to produce polypeptides. Proteins are needed for the structure of cells as well as growth, repair and enzyme production...

    4 (c) Probability

    yeah it would be nice if they used the language in their own dam syllabus. But I guess they did say DIFFERENT squares, indicating that she couldn't choose the same square twice in a row so they've got a decent argument. Still sux heaps though, whoever thought up the question is retarted.

    4 (c) Probability

    3 different squares... ahh shit. So the first time was 1/2 but then 2nd time was 31/63 as was third time she chose a square. Alrighty I'll just add this to the growing list of things I COMPLETLY bombed due to exam stress: 2c 3a(iii) (iv) 4a(iii) b, c (ohh thats going to be a lovely mark...

    what can i hope for- improving performance

    It'll be interesting what they decide to do in marking the paper. Because that section on establishing training programs is not even a whole a4 page in the text book, and in the excel pdhpe book they talk about it for 4 sentences lol lol. I honestly think only a VERY small percentage of the...

    what can i hope for- improving performance

    I'm exactly the same as you aswell, I never learnt the really big headings I only ever learnt all the medium heading i.e. overtraining, training for flexibility, physiological adaptations to training etc etc... I never looked at the massive bold heading at the top of each syllabus in which these...

    what can i hope for- improving performance

    I thought I nailed this exam on every question, but only just now I've realised that in the 15 marker on improving performance I talked about the wrong thing. I know the coaching considerations when establishing training programs, but for some reason in the exam I thought it was asking for...

    Im super pissed at myself

    Wasn't heaps of marks u found the distance between I think it was A and D. And then do 1/2 base x height. I'm really just hoping that it was just the perpendicular distance i got wrong, cause they can't penalise you twice for using a wrong value so I miight still get marks for the area of...
