hello everyone,
I recently received my sac scores and i only managed a B.
So i was just wondering as a year 11, what habits and startegies should i use to ensure a 40+ for biology in year 12?

As a year 11 your number 1 objective is to understand all the content as much as possible. In year 12 you need to maintain rank 1 (or a good rank depending on your cohort). After that it is all about how well you do on exams. In the end Good Luck on your coming years!

Take advantage of year 11 in the fact that you can enhance your biological understanding + practice the way you write out answers in relation to the questions asked. Personally, I found units 1/2 boring, but thats probably because I did it through Distance Ed and I didn't enjoy the subject. On the contrary, Bio 3/4 is amazing; the topics are great and the 3/4 course is really properly set out, from the basic cells and their biochemistry, to responding to detected changes by organisms, to how genetic info is inherited by successive generations, to how our DNA and our cells are changed over a prolonged period of time. PS unit 2 AOS2 is a ball breaker. It is so boring!
