Title: practise questions-exams/sacs
Post by: Snorlax on February 04, 2013, 08:38:28 pm
could anyone recommend how to obtain questions relating to specific chapters? (for SACs)
past vcaa exams aren't too handy when looking for specific application questions on specific chapters...
any good downloads/workbooks that you recommend would be nicee..

Practice Exams - Where to get them for free?

I'd rather not have people upload their SACs from school just because school SACs are usually copyrighted and the such and I wouldn't want this place to get in trouble.

There are plenty of stuff to buy: A+ Notes, NEAP study guide, AN Study Guide (when it comes out in a month or so), other textbooks

Ohh didn't mean to make people misunderstand what I meant. All I wanted was some specific relavent questions for each individual chapter.
Also, if anyone knows, is the biozone workbook good?

What I'll be doing is picking relevant information to the particular outcome. For example, my first SAC is observing the transport of materials across the plasma membrane. I will revise:
* the entire structure of the plasma membrane
* the role of each component
* the definitions/energy requirements of each of the forms of transport:
- osmosis
- facilitated diffusion
- diffusion
- active transport
- vesicular transport
* observations to animal/plant cells for either hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic solutions.

I think that the questions will be quite predictable. Just study all concepts and work relevant to the outcome and you'll find yourself formulating your own questions that will potentially pop up in the SAC.
