I heard they are changing the psychology course, it is likely that they'll change the biology course too.

bio course will change in 2012 from what i have seen.

They're probably doing 1/2 psych.

Chem course changed in '08 so it won't change again so soon

So the biology course is definitely staying as it is for 2011?

for both 2011 and 2012 as seen on that link i posted >_>

Oh good. So I can probably buy the Units 3/4 NOB textbook for next year now without fear of the edition changing (it only tends to change each study design).

haa it won't change, so you can start studying now if you want;)
though, i'd recommend Heinemenn, it is the best biology book as it sticks very closely to the study design unlike NOB which goes wayyyy of track and has heaps of unneeded info. (we switched to H because it is was so much better!.. unfortunately i wasn't able to continue using mine )

Lol yeah I'm trying to work off the year 12 textbook (from school) now. I'll probably cover most of the content over the summer holidays and term 3 holidays so I feel more confident next year as I am aiming high. Heaps of unneeded info is good, probably aids you to understand more, especially if you're doing stuff like the NQEs and NOB is nice and illustrative! We use it in conjunction with Biozone and Checkpoints. Lol I have like less than 2 weeks to prepare for the NQE... this worries me, but I will try my best for now, knowing that next year will probably be better. Much much better.
