dependent variable is the one you measure (outcome).
independent is the one you change.

eg; seeing if giving a certain drug (independent) gets a lower blood pressure reading (dependent).

to person wanting to know schools and stuff..
10 people in my class of 25 got A+ on midyear and 8 got A
pretty much everyone said it was hard/long/ambigious

deffs one of the hardest vcaa unit 4 ones ive seen for a while
im guessing A+ will be lik 55/75

wow ... 25 got A+? nice

mm i did like a lot of practice exams and yeh definitely i think the hardest .

oh well time will tell.

You read the question wrong!
"10 people in my class of 25 got A+"

oh lolzzz...

lets hope i didnt make the same mistake in the exam XD

BY THE WAY IS IT TRUE THAT IT IS OUR RANKING IN THE STATE THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS,    NOT OUR ACTUAL SCORE ??  
if so i still have some hope... .  if others did worse (which is still unlikely)

But your score gives you your ranking in the state ._."

I think you're confusing this with SAC marks where only your ranking in your cohort matters; not your raw SAC marks.

i meant like:  if the whole state were to get 0/75 and i got  .5/75  thennnnnnnnnnn id be classified as getting 'full marks"   ?

My god was i pressed for time in this exam,
examiners like 5mins to go, im like faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa only up to Q5 short Answer
So in 5mins i did 5,6 and half of 7.
Anyway i dont feel it was a hard exam, required alot of thought though. Just needed more time.

Does anyone know where i can find some soloutions?

It can be examined in Units 3 and 4.

i think that would be boderline. maybe if u said PH level of the soil ? gives plants more growth.

i think the best control for this would be sunlight because plants grow towards sunlight.

A class who walked out of the examination with a smile, walked out of the examination with a frown today. *sigh*

Correct. Experimental design is a key skill, applicable (and assessable) in both units.

terrible exam i think.

i want a re-examination!

I think in 2006 there was some question about control variable independant variable

Well yeh, study score is only a reflection of your ranking within the state. Everything in VCE is just to get rankings really. Marks are only there to give things proportions (i.e. 1/3 for each exam and SACs), so what you said is true I guess.

Reading over the last 20 pages covers all the hard questions I guess. If someone posts up the exam, some full solutions might be on the way.
