Hey 

definitely the hardest science exam i have done ever............
some of the questions were very hard....
but jst managed to finish

[jamonwindeyer]

Sounds like a tough one guys! Well done on getting through

[biffi023]

yer felt like it was all worded a bit wierd?! and so many longish responses...... im sure theres normally more graphing or drawing diagrams and whatever?? was literally all writing!! therefore still writing to the very last minute which is never a good thing 
hey jamon...... are u able to access the paper like you did for the english ones??
that would be cool if possible.. thanks!

Unfortunately we don't have access to the Senior Science exam - We'll be getting most of the big ones but a few are going to be missed, unfortunately this is one of them

I saw that Senior Science still didn't have any answers to their multiple choice, so I had to fix that!!

NOTE: I DO NOT DO SENIOR SCIENCE AND SO THESE ANSWERS MAY NOT BEING 100% CORRECT

Also, 17 was basically an educated guess other than that, I am pretty confident with the answers (but prove me wrong!!! )

1.) D
2.) B
3.) A
4.) D
5.) B
6.) C
7.) B
8.) D
9.) D (courtesy of biffi)

hey 
just cos i am procrastinating from maths study i will just put my opinion out there too cos i disagree on a few of those nothing against you.. thanks for taking the time to go thru it!... my opinion...
1. disagree - would definitely say C (EDIT: I mean D!!) ... while a colloid caann separate sometimes... that is generally after years! deff not 3 days
2. agree - B
3. agree - A
4. agree - D
5. agree - B
6. agree - C
7. disagree - B (cartliage does not join bones, it cushions the ends... bone to bone is a ligament, bone to muscle is a tendon)
8. disagree - D (another EDIT  : i mean A!)(going by the syllabus dotpoint that specifically talks about dishes facing towards a fixed point in the sky to receive waves from GEOSTATIONARY SATELLITES not fixed ground towers)
9. disagree - personally I did D... would anyone else agree that cohesive are STRONGER than adhesive at this point or no?
10. agree - B
11. agree - A
12. disagree - D (attached to the ventricle wall... therefore taking on the action of the AV node?... although we never learned that there were 2 wires... i always thought the persons's natural AV node still worked so... i got put off by that)
13. disagree - C (but I am subject to debate cos I really wasn't sure... i tossed up between B and C for a while)
14. agree - C
15. agree - C
16. agree - D (damn tho cos I did C in the exam... and learned afterwards it was wrong  )
17. disagree - 99% sure A (CPR pushes the blood from the ventricles... therefore the ball would be pushed up to seal closed as blood is pushed against it)
18. agree - C
19. agree - B (yayy thats wot i did!!... wierd question may I say... they were all sorta right in their own way!) 
20. disagree - D (well thats what i did anyway... wouldn't it be a definite 'on' or 'off'... think digital 1's and 0's?)
so there's my ideas!! LMK if u disagree tho!!
