i died.
i then had to study for legal.
i died for that too.

LOL you just said the exact same thing in the legal thread except you swapped the word legal with biology. funny =]

bitchiest question was 8 marker, and the question about making an experiment for 'new product' that kills pathogen

I completely agree with you! haha.

I almost ran out of time for the pathogen experiment thing because I left it till the end .. You don't want to know my answer I wrote for it..

lol theres noo way time can possibly be a factor in the biology exam....i usually finish within 1.5 hours, if not 2...with good answers

are u serious... but then again past biology exams ive finished much earlier.
this was the only time in a biology exam that i actually needed all 3 hours to do it... i didnt even get to check it!! grr...

yeah i agree, i left at the 2 hour mark so i must have finished it in 1 hour 45 minutes, because i looked over it like twice.

 

[Kew]

I agree on the time bit, but for some reason today I was just so induced in each question, thinking for minutes on how to structure what I was going to write thus I was so shocked by how much time I wasted!

Far out!!! Talk about hell! Biotechnology was soooooo hard!!! like the 7 marker and like the 6 marker question was like what the hec!!. I was convinced i was doing well in the exam until i reached the biotechnology question. Man i dont think i would have gotten more than 13/25 for that- like the worst i've ever done : I am spewing. Everything i strongly believed was going to be tested for in biotech (and everything i studied mostly for was not in there).

Also, talking about bad luck, the sourdough question asking about the bread fermentation was a shocker. Doesn't the syllabus say we should know either fermentation of bread OR alcohol not both? I studied the fermentation of alcohol not bread.

I'm so cut about Bio...

I studied so hard for so long. I did so many past papers.

There was so much crap in this pape that wasn't in others.

I could bullshit my way through section I.

But communication was a bitch! Especially the 6 marker and the ear diagram! :l

 

[erinhawker]

bah. i HATED the bio exam. i dont think i ever had to bullshit so much for a science exam in my life.
im so unbelievably relieved i never have to do it again. although i would have preferred to have parted with the subject on better terms.

am! :l

I know what you mean, like, we couldn't really apply much knowledge.

i dont think it would have helped me anymore even if i did study more. gah. communication was aweful to! it was all generally awefull!!

Re: how did you go?

Yeah i just finished it...finally over...so much shit i study wasnt even on the test! Overall i thought it was ok but there was some tricky stuff..but overall better than i expected.

Yeah i agree- SOO much i studied wasn't even on the test and i studied alot. Biotechnology was a killer- everything i had studied the most wasn't on there. Talk about jynx!

 

[ekoolish]

Yeah that's what sucks about bio there is so much information and you end up studying for the wrong stuff. They tend to focus into one section into detail to make it impossible for everyone to study in-depth for every single topic...

 

[tulZzz]

hey if i get lets say 80% in HSC wat would i get allinged too?

 

[dolbinau]

Well I don't think anyone knows but a lot of people here say +5 marks so 85%

14 is A.

 

[dolbinau]

14 is definitely A, lol. I don't know where people come up with other things (D?). It's not like the 6 "C" or "D" debate.

 

[skatrib]

14 is A.

R u sure?

Thanks for that.

It means i would have got 14/15 for multiple choice YEAH ME!!!!

Hey did anyone do biotechnology? That was a KILLER!!!!

 

[russianROULETTE]

definitely. for 14 i had to stop and think, but D was the one i eliminated first.
