Yeah i've had a quick look at it; thought it was quite a fair exam and reasonably similar to "standard" VCAA exams

Where did you access it?

Its already been uploaded, just look at the main biology board. Someone has already written some solutions for it aswell

2 examiners mark it.
they cannot give you half marks
but overall you can get a half mark (1+2)/2)

and yeah, you'll probs lose a lot of those, i lost 8 on unit 3 lol (half marks, one full mark)

can be 3 examiners.

66/75. Can i still get a 45+ with this?

[WhoTookMyUsername]

def's
66/75 is med A+ on a standard year (probably on higher side of medium)

[LOLs99]

Will the cut off for A aound 50 or a bit higher?

[InsaneMcFries]

Definitely higher, 54-57

That only happens if your first two examiners have weird marks like one gives 65/75 and the other gives 70.

Didnt they change it this year? Dont examiners only mark like 3-4 questions out of each exam paper, so that the marking scheme stays the most fair?

That can only work with online marking I think...and bio isn't marked online yet.

And examiners only mark one question each.

A guy I knew got 50 with 66/75 in the midyear (in 2010).

o.O Did he ace the end of year then?

Must have gotten close at least, yes. I also knew a guy who got 63/75 in the midyear in 2009 and got 50.

How about their SACs scores and end of year exam? Close to full mark?
