I've given this subject so much time and effort but in the end it's done nothing I've done all the prac exams my school has I really wanted a 'high' score in this subject, all I can average is between 64-67/75! On prac exams waaah. I still don't get absolute dating like none of the techniques what should I do it really scores me over every exam and half-life! Can someone please help
Me! I'll never beable to sleep!

hi

im not certain which tips you have used, so here one technique i highly recomend is looking at all your practice exams and looking at what your getting wrong and then go the text book or anouther prefered resource and filling in the gaps in your knowledge.

or maybe even watch some youtube videos on Carbon dating ect. to get a more visual and audio experience and this may allow you to retain your knowledge better.

the key is not to panic you have more time 

good luck

64-67/75 is excellent

Your scores of 64-67/75 reflect achieving your aim of 40+ for Biology, keep trying and you will improve

Those scores are really good! You have 2 weeks to go - you can bump that up 5+ marks. I started off around 64-ish/75, and moved up to about 70ish/75. Occasionally of course, I do a NEAP paper, and cry. But nevertheless, you have plenty of time to do perfect your expression, work through some VCAA papers, and most importantly, fill up gaps in your knowledge. For instance, don't think that just because you fluked an MC that its okay. Find out the ACTUAL answer and then you'll patch up your knowledge. Best of luck masonruc.

AFAIK 64-67/75 is at the 40 SS mark you don't have much to worry about.

If you are personally not happy with your results, and you think you can improve, DON'T STOP. Don't settle with these scores if you know deep down if you tried and those results could get better.

High 60s is certainly a very good mark. The A+ for bio is actually pretty low compared to other VCAA exams. And you can afford to lose quite a few marks and still get your hands on a 50. That score is good enough to get you that 40+. But keep going! You have pin pointed your weakness (dating/ half life), attempt to go through it, if you are still having trouble, then consult a teacher or a friend etc.

Do not settle unless it's your best. As you said, you have put so much effort through out the year, you need to work even harder now because the end is so close. I hope all this hard work pays off. If you have your eye set on just achieving your absolute best, forget if it's a 35+ or a 40+, then I reckon you will absolutely astonish yourself come results day.

Good luck.

I just woke up this morning thinking how screwed I was for all my exams - but what's the point in that? Just keep going on with your revision, keep hard working until the exam is over, then you can say you did your absolute best and that's really all you can ask for.

Good luck ;w ;
