I know the exam says to shade one box, but I shaded every one. If I get full marks on multiple choice, I will have found a revolutionary loophole. If VCAA is good, then I will not have.
It also said on there if you shade more than one box you won't get any mark i'm pretty sure D:

Thanks for posting the answers!
The few that I got different were-
5) C - As new semantic memories are formed in the Hippocampus I assumed there would be an increase in neurons there (however since it's adaptive plasticity there may not actually have been an increase in neurons just synapses, not sure...)
20) A- I thought this was a little bit ambiguous if it was cerebral cortex or frontal lobe as that's involved in planning, reasoning and imagining
24) B- But I see you changed it :)
35) B- Body temperature doesn't reach its lowest in REM sleep, it is lowest during deep NREM and actually increases in REM
52) C- Since the question is talking about the physical capacity to reproduce the behaviour (not his motivation to do so) I assumed it was about being taught to knit

but isn't it talking about the FIRST time when Edward knits.  the question states that, after watching his grandmother knit and his grandfather praise her, Edward decided to try knitting.  Later it talks about how his grandfather praised his skill and THEN his grandmother taught him to knit after she "heard that he was try to knit".  although i love the logic, in the scenario, the first time Edward knits is before Edward's grandmother taught him to knit...

also, isn't 34 C hypertension and 36 D as the body doesn't distinguish between eustress and distress?

Yeah I know but it said that on NAPLAM as well and I scored high. I'm pretty sure a machine just checks the box is filled and gives you a mark and what you said is just meant to put people off.

I put 36 D too because I thought allostatic load increases when the body tries to ''adapt to a stressor''
like his son being born and all would still cause  him stress (but positive) but it STILL has to adapt to it, no??
Can someone clarify please

lol I'm guessing you did gambling for your mental health option - either a 0 or a 65 - that's one way to make a statement.

~~ I hope it doesn't deviate too much from what your teacher predicted your score would be  :P

Q34 is C apparently
Q36 is D, his allostatic load would have definitely increased
