lol hopefully we get paid

tbh i think those "dodgy" questions are good for us as they really tested our ability to think outside the box

which is why i think A+ won't be that high...i'm thinking 119-123/150

not high for you, but high for us mortals...

Lol so true!
Hopeful for 65ish...
What kind of study score you reckon i would get with these scores:
Mid yr: B+ (high a mark off A i reckon)
Sacs: 187.5/200 - cohort is intermediate i think... we had 3 A+'s in mid yr like 10 A's
End of yr: A+ (65~ +/- 2-4 marks)
Thanks im thinking a 38 atm.

Did people forget about Mao's study score estimator?

theres a mistake in the paper

for the questoin where ou had to provide the complementary Anticodon molecule

In the question it states, "A DNA template strand codes for the amino acid serine with any of the following Codons."

should be triplets..

No. The question isn't wrong. You're supposed to figure out the mRNA sequence - and hence determine the codon that DOES codon for that amino acid.

theres a mistake in the paper

for the questoin where ou had to provide the complementary Anticodon molecule

In the question it states, "A DNA template strand codes for the amino acid serine with any of the following Codons."

should be triplets..

if you were to read the paper before commenting, you would notice it asks for the t-RNA molecule NOT the m-RNA molecule,


sorry to be the bringer of bad news,
