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

I did state recombinant DNA for Bt corn/cotton and explained the process in regards to GM crops. So 4/7?

wait Q8 the one about the tsetse fly was direct contact right?? it was biting...

omg its giving cancelled.... what an idiot... (jane approved post)

please i spewed and spasmed for a sec and then i realised

4-5/7 prolly, personally I'd say 4 is a bit of a low ball considering u have around 2 impacts for each + ethics as well as named examples

Fuck I'm so screwed if 88 is actually the state median.

 

[shoulfer]

Fuck I'm so screwed if 88 is actually the state median.

they will just make the marking criteria stricter and stricter on short answer questions until they get a good distribution very low chance state median is 88 because the distribution wouldn't be proper for top end.

i do think there will be a couple questions. at least a couple 2-3 markers though not 100% sure. maybe 20 marks worth of multis too im guessing. i think overall there will be a grand total of 100 marks available, although this is just my guess

4 longer tik toks for the mc with explanations this time. she talks pretty fast but these are better than the original tik tok

thanks man

Fuck based on those solutions I scored 16. Not good considering the whole of NSW said it was super easy...

lol I got 10 more than I got in trials woo hoo

I did gm in agriculture and crispr

bro is pushing 40 and on bos, bouta catch a case

Fuck I feel like 85 raw is going to be really bad when it comes to alignment….could 85 raw even go backwards to 84 in scaling

 

[Timsaay]

bro someone draw a punnet square for q20, I swear B works as well

nah bro, i’m sure it’s explained in those videos which were posted, but it’s definitely C because of how sex-linked traits work. for the 4th pedigree, neither parent is showing the trait but it is passed down to 3/4 sons and no daughters. This means it is sex-linked recessive, as the daughters are able to block the sex-linked recessive with the other X chromosome, whilst males cannot as they are XY.

This pretty much can’t happen, they will just continue to revise their marking criteria until they get around a median they like. The break-even will still be like 75

So scaling to be similar to 2023?

 

[sdvfgsererew]

Yeah i’d say probably, but marking will be harsher, so a response for a 5 marker which may have gotten you full marks last year will only get you 4/5 if that makes sense. Our short answer questions were a lot easier.
