Biology band 6 cut off (1 Viewer)

[greatgreeks2]

What do u all think that the cutt off will be.

i think around 83.

keep in mind that many people stuffed up the multiple choice.

wow 83...way to low.

I rekon 86-7 is safe to say. Probs very minimum.

 

[greatgreeks2]

really .
last year i think it was 84 and this yrs exam was harder than last years so...

 

[greatgreeks2]

well if the band 6 cut off is around 83/84 then with a 65-70 i would say band 4

 

[greatgreeks2]

the thing is everyone is saying this exam was easy but thats because when do acnwer a question u answer it the way u think is correct so yeah you would think the short answers are easy.
-Many people acturaly drew a nephron instead of a kidney so there is 6 marks gone.
-Also multiple choice was qute hard.
-And the 8 marker people answered it diffrently. some poeple focused on the environment influencing gene expression while others focused on meiosis.
- and these are the smart people who made these mistakes

so i would say that even though people think they did well losing marks all over the place will bring down the range of the bands.
Last years exam had band 6 at raw mark 84 so i would say this years would be lower but definately not higher.

I drew nephron and kidney in the sexiest diagram youll ever see...

Had it all...donno if ill loose marks...

I did the nephon and drew the cortex and medulla, then I had collecting ducts joining to the pelvis.

excretion doesn't happen in the general kidney. it happens first with the nephron.
think about it.
it was worth six marks.
label filtration and explain (one + one = two)
label reabsorption and explain (one + one = two)
label excretion and explain (one + one = two)
we spent a whole unit on 'maintaining a balance', not 'taking a piss'.

 

[greatgreeks2]

yeah but mate the nephron is situated on the cortex and medulla.

nephron= filtration, reabsorption, secretion
cortex=filtration
medulla= reabsorption and secretion
ureter = transports secretion to bladder

Are you sure last years paper was easier?
I looked and was like well i would of died..

I talked about both environmental factors and mutations giving new variety in the 8 mark question

I think I may mixed up cortex and medulla up *worries* but at least I got ureter

but a nephron :rofl:

Agreed this years paper was heaps nice
The multiple choice were quite simple...
If my raw mark is 80% and I hoping for around 85 what u think?
