i willlll im excited XD

Why is it that biology doesn't get scaled up as much as say, chemistry? It isn't that easy I guess it's just that the competition isn't as high, but I dunno...
Looking forward to it this year though as it'll be much more interesting that 1/2!

yeah the competition isn't as high as chemistry or physics, but i'm quite excited too - 1/2 was one of my fav classes, so this year shall be very interesting from what i've read so far:)

yeah i'm really interested in the immune system etc. so i'm hoping i won't get disappointed what textbooks are everybody using? i'm using heinemann (notorious for many errors in their textbooks ..)

less scaling is because you CAN get a reasonable grade (e.g. B) without much work at all, so in comparison its easier to get an ok grade in biol than chem, because the basics are maybe a bit easier than chemistry. getting mid to high forties, however, is competitve in any subject, but particularly biology, and requires much more work than scaling would imply.

I will (probably ) do science/law at monash, which i'm really looking forward to. science will probably be mainly biology/biochem or environmental...

hmm i think i agree with you there, my friend who did it didn't try very hard and got a B (midyear), and then an A (end of year) and got 36 as a study score which isnt too bad considering the effort put in! but yeah a lot of work has to be put into biology, i better get cracking
