did everyone get transcription and RNA poylmerase for that diagram in MC that was a bit ambigious?

What did you guys put the 1st M/C question?

it was D> the last three kids in the last gen have it.

Oh I know what Q that was now.
I don't reckon I got D but maybe I did.
I don't remember the pedigree or the order of the answers.

i analysed that question atleast 4 times. im more than 100% it was D XD

Just shows that you need to really understand the knowledge, I didn't really spend a whole lot doing practice exams (did the TSSM/TSFX/CSE and 2008 VCAA) but I spent a lot of time going through all the concepts and didn't find the exam too hard.
A few questions were a bit weird like the YAC question, but yeah spend more time learning the knowledge rather than slaming tonnes of practice exams (for bio anyway).

Disagree.
The former worked for midyear for me.

[phuiii]

Other way round for me for midyear:P

Oh yeah I got the 1mc wrong.  I didn't put D.
ffff, I hate it when that happens.

B+

omg it was freaking lOOONG n i didnt get enough time! i did MC iin like 15 min but then i didnt get a chance to chek em n i got sum VERY obvious ques wrong such as the hominin skull i chose the wrong one! i wasnt thinking clearly! n the last two ques jst got me baad! i ended up losing prob 15 or more marks in total! how much would that make it C or D grade?

LOL yeah, thats 60/75, on average thats an A+ haha

Q 22 in the MC, what finding from worldwide human fossil sites would best support the Out-of-Africa hypothesis, which one was it?
A. dating of fossils using radioactive uranium
B. the degree of decomposition of remains
C. the present climate of the region
D. variation in the mtDNA

For A, uranium wouldn't work for such a short period of time, for B, the remains are fossilised, for C, the climate could have changed in the intervening time, and this is unlikely to have had an effect on evolution of hominins and for D, the remains are fossilised, its impossible to get mtDNA from them...

Any ideas? I went with A because it was (as far as i could see) the closest to right.
