Bio midsem. Was it hard??

[Starlight]

I have it soooon.

[acrimony]

Soooo how'd you go?

[Starlight]

Lol no one said anything about it on here but I have it tomorrow.

[acrimony]

Yes, that only means one thing: it was shit hard. Good luck for tomorrow

Hmm... Most people said it was easy.

It's alright guys...you will get through it very quickly (average is about 10-15mins) so just spend the time afterwards to think about your answers because there may be 1-2 trick questions and perhaps 3 difficult ones.

General consensus is that if you've done Bio 3/4, it'll be a breeze. It's not that much more difficult if you haven't, but I personally had to think intensely for a few questions.

(yes I do biomed, but we do the same bio as science students minus the heavy plant stuff...that said there were plant cell questions)

All my mates said it was hard, lol, depends on the kind of people you hang around with. I clearly don't hang around the right group

What Pixon said was an extremely accurate depiction of Biology - (for me though it still wasn't 'a breeze' though lol so there must be something weird going on there).
There were definitely a few which required deep analytical thought.

Ok thanks guys

When do we get our marks?

When do we get our marks?

Dont know, keep your eye on the lms/emails

[Pixon]

We were told that we'll get results during the easter break or at the latest, end of the first week back. Keep your eyes out on the lms grades (though an announcement and consequent email will probably let us know).

In the meantime, you're welcome to go over each question with your tutor to see how you've gone and get explanations for questions.

Results are out for biomed kids.

As the test was worth 10%, and 24/25 is 96%, does that mean I get 10% or 9.6% or what's the deal?

I somewhat agree/somewhat disagree with Pixon. I've struggled in Bio thus far, it can be hard to logically reason when you don't have any background knowledge at all in biology. In Physics, in vce at least, I could usually use some general logic based on other physics concepts to see if something is plausible, can't really do that in biology at the moment and it's a big disadvantage IMO. However, having said that, there are so many resources to help you and the content is not overly challenging.

It will be rounded to 10% =)

Results are out for Science students as well, how'd you guys go?
