Title: The Exam! How did you go?
Post by: claire.anglim on November 02, 2009, 11:23:47 am
Well biology is finally finished, and what a relief that was.

Yet how long was that exam! I actually found it hard to finish it all, and I almost missed a question on the opposite page to the blank page.

It was simple to a degree that you just had to know the basic processes, yet there was so much to write, and alot of to distinguish.

I found the Cow question rather difficult though.

pretty easy
couple of dodgy MC's so im aiming for a 22-23 like my unit 3 exams
but SA was easy except for one question for me, the Centromeres on the yeast things, and it was only worth one mark.
But yes, a very long exam, a lot of reading to do, but ifinished with about 15 minutes to go, but some people next to me were furiosly writing with 1 minute to go

I reckon yac will be like, 1% of state gets a mark (n)

Also, it was heaps longer than midyear!
Also, it wasn't too easy.  Unsure if that's good or bad.

I didn't find the exam that hard as others described it to be, hopefully got a b+ :) Did most of you manage to finish the exam also?
