Bio midsem. Was it hard??

[jinny1]

are these standardised against the different test versions?

Edit: so if you got 78% it gets rounded upto 80% ??

[superstar1]

It will be rounded to 10% =)

I'm pretty sure there is no rounding up.. So he will get te 9.6 %.

[nubs]

How do we find out what we got wrong?

Most likely the rounding up or down would be down with the final semester mark

How do we find out what we got wrong?

I got 22/23 and I know exactly which question I got wrong, the first question.

[superstar1]

At the end when they get the total sum of all the percentages then they might round it up or down, but as for now, 9.6% is just 9.6%,  I hope what I'm saying is making sense

Didn't do VCE Bio, finding uni Bio incredibly hard.

It's hard to know what to know.

I just get overwhelmed with the terminology - I hate the fact that the lecturer introduces the centriole, centrosome, centromere, chromosome, and kinetochore all within the space of 2min of each other.

I generally just give up in the bio lecture and note down terminology to try and go and understand how it all works later... it takes me like 2-3 hours of bio study per lecture outside of lectures just to keep up.

And if that was too tacit for you, take this as an obvious admission that I'm positive I failed the test :s

^^^Kinda agree. Would be hard as fuu if I didn't do VCE Bio since they assume you already know all the organelles etc.

Do you take advantage of the tutorials for non-VCE bio students? I heard they were pretty helpful in first year (I never went even though I didn't do VCE bio)

dont worry i forget the terminology too, everyone has to revise it, although having done vce bio i'm aware of the names just can't remember what they do half the time.

oh and go to topic tutorials!

we do the same bio as science students minus the heavy plant stuff...that said there were plant cell questions)

well that's weird, don't see how botany should be relevant to biomed

Haha I guess you missed the part where he said "minus the heavy plant stuff."

Yeah I see your point but there were still plant related questions though

We still needed to differentiate between plant and animal cells so we had to know the stuff in a plant cell. A whole lot less than youg uys I'm sure but yeah.. just that bit of botany in there
