yeah,  i've done it all before briefly in year 9 and 10, and i thought it was pretty interesting.

and yeah, i know.  3 A+'s only guarantees you a SS of 38.

vcaa are wierd.  it's really technical and depends on whether your grades are high, low or medium as to what study score you end up with.

just finished reading AoS 1.  Gotta say, i think it is really interesting.  lovin it atm.

not atm.  i will do them though.  also someone said it is better to do the biozone questions?

i just really enjoy reading about chem/bio and taking in as much as i can.  it is sort of relaxing. :)

i think that was me, they are good exam preparation and it's recommended that you should do the relevant questions from the biozone each week you copy a topic in class.

yeah i know bio/chem is really good:) this stuff is all quite tame, i can't wait for the good stuff at uni :)! (yay uni chem)

i actually got A+, A+ A and managed to get a 40.

Onto the topic of bio, i found unit 3 really interesting. It's also really science-based (obviously) and is very logical, and i found it quite easy to get the concepts. Unit 4 isn't that interesting, and isn't as science-based and logical as the latter imo, but if you like the unit, i'd expect you'd do quite well :)

What study material do you guys have for biology?

I just got checkpoints and talking molecules.

particularly looking forward to AoS 1 in Unit 4.  I really like genetics.
bit gay that evolution is the whole of AoS 2 though.

AoS is really interesting :) helps to keep you motivated.
When you reach AoS 2 for Unit 4 you'll realise how interesting evolution is too :P. It's not as boring as you think!

Are you trying to joke here?
It's the most boring thing I have ever studied.
OR MAYBE, MAYBE IT WAS JUST BECAUSE I HAD TO TEACH THE CLASS BECAUSE MY TEACHER DECIDED CONFERENCES > OUR EXAM BEING IN LIKE TWO WEEKS.
H8 evolution.

So?
I liked evolution lol? I still think it's amazing..

So it was a stressful chore, not a learning experience.
But cool, each to their own.  I wasn't seriously attacking you.
