Matt123 -> don't be too disheartened! I reckon the A+ cutoff will be around 59-60 although the exam was easyish, as there were quite a few subtle and some hard questions in there that many people would not have picked up. If you dropped 6 in MC and 10 in SA you may scrape an A+ or get an A, not a B+!

And remember you have other VCE subjects that you are going to gun!

so as cypriottiger says - relax man! you'll be fine, i expect you'll be pleasantly surprised with your study score

The answers are correct. It is B.

I don't think so.

I think the wording is incorrect, but (and this is a question not an argument) shouldn't the template run from the 3' -> 5' direction as the mRNA is constructed from the 5' -> 3'? Shouldn't you be able to deduce from that fact that the mRNA must in that direction, so B is correct?
