Biology help

[EmmaAnne986]

Hey guys,

I just need some help with biology 3 and 4 study score predictions.
So I'm super stressed at the moment because I fast tracked biology last year and now I've got it as my 3 and 4 this year along with food studies. The biology exam is next week on Friday and I can't even begin to explain how nervous I am and I'm really just hoping for some reassurance. So to begin with, my SACs are all above 80% and I've gotten about 100% for two of them, most of them are above 90%. I'm ranked either first, second or third in my biology class, but my teacher has to recalculate as myself and two other students came so close in our overall SAC marks that she couldn't distinguish who should be placed where. Now exams have never been my strong point in biology. I've found that other subjects I can pull information from my head, but biology is so much harder. So last year I got a D+ in my end of year exam, but this year I'm really wanting to get B, I was initially aiming for C+ but everyone says always aim higher. Do you think that it's possible that I do this and if so what do you reckon my study score would be? I'm really hoping for a 30, I would be so proud of myself if I reached that 30 and if I get a 36, I would be even more over the moon because biology has been such a difficult subject stress wise. Also is there any tips you could give for the last week leading up to exams? I've been doing practice exams and re-reading sections that I need help with but its so hard because there's just so much? Also what do you guys think will be in the 2020 exam, there definitely has to be something on COVID right?


Thanks so much guys, hope you can help me out.

On face value your sacs seem quite good (in terms of raw score and rankings). Although I can't be 100% sure given I wouldn't know your cohort strength.

I would forget about your exam score last year. I don't think it has much bearing this year. It is a different set of content and I would assume you were more motivated to study this year.

In terms of predicting your study score, I don't think anyone can say - providing scores that you have received on practice exams + your cohort strength would help. In terms of your "aims" just try to get as many marks as possible and see where that gets you.
