What did everyone get for Q18 of the MC?

I put A because it said M1 and M2 both produced equal amounts of whatever it was but I wasn't entirely sure...

And Bazza16, I completely agree with you. I'm so pissed off at VCAA as well... can they not think of harder questions WITHOUT making them so ambiguous? What did you put for question 1?

Q.18? yep, i put A too...only because it specified "equal amounts." originally put donw B!!! but then changed it at the last minute :O

Oh and look up wikipedia for OLWS... it says it's both dominant and recessive... WTF?

[ezye21]

I'm shit scared for my Psych exam now. I get stressed over ambiguous questions :/

[Ric]

Easy exam, confident with 65+/75. RNA Polymerase question was terrible, poorly written much.

[Panicmode]

yeah just tidied up 2

Well, on the exam we got the same answers, that's all that counts = D.

I really feel I aced this bio exam.

[Panicmode]

Do you guys reckon (espec last year's year 12's)
that a

70, 68-9 and High A+ SACs after scaling will net a 50?

Maybe not a fifty, but pretty close to it. You're looking at a fairly high SS.

[REBORN]

The domain for Bazza's SS is [49,50]

[Drunk]

there's essentially no difference between a 48 and a 50 mate, you'll get an amazing score don't get so worked up about it

[Callum]

This is what i had then:

1. C
2. D
3. B

This just made me feel a lot better with nearly all my answers being the same aswell.

Maybe next year they should get someone that has actually completed VCE to write the exams...

:\
i've invested basically all of my time into Bio this year largely neglecting 1/2s
diff between 48 and 50 in my top 4 is 2 aggregate, could be difference of getting into course i want

Actually, it's only 1.6 (due to scaling). I seriously doubt 1.6 aggregate points is going to prevent you from getting into the university course you want.
