SAC 2 Results

[pi]

Yeah it was exam conditions... bastards took up my only double free .

I don't think cheating would really be that necessary though Rohitpi, nothing in the SAC was that hard. Just required a little bit of revision.

Its just that last year, I know of two people in my class who wrote their SAC at home and then handed that in for A+. The way you guys had to do it is better.

i had a question like that on my sac too about the biological catalysts. i included that theyre not used up int he reaction but didnt include that it lowers activation energy D:
btw wat do you have to include wen you have to design ur own expirement. the teacher didnt even tell us how to write one up! imma so pissed
it sed on the sac tho that you had to include control variables, independend and dependent varaibles and expected outcomes - all that for 4 marks.
i did that except i didnt include any aim or method (it didnt tell us to? :/) but i included an 'expiremental outline' thingy.
how many marks do you reckon i got for this q. ? :O

[WhoTookMyUsername]

2 marks probably. that's bad that  your teacher didn't go over it and expects you do to do it.
My teacher said
1 mark aim
1 mark expected results
2 marks methodology including controls, etc.

[panicatthelunchbar]

how do they mark the reports in biol SACs? like with the aim, hypothesis and suff? how many marks and what to include exactly?

Got my results yesterday...
Score:   49/50
Ranking: 1st

So happy~  hopefully I can get a A+

Getting mine tomorrow so far 24/25 for the first SAC.

[HERculina]

woah well done!
thats a super great mark =)

25/25 for SAC 2 - Stoked

Teacher didn't give marks for the first one, just a "stamp"

i reckon i got around 22/25 for that

I also managed an A+, not 100% though... still haven't got the first SAC back though.

Btw bazza16; your troll equation doesn't work [well, only in letter form it does] because in many steps, you are actually multiplying by 0.

True shinny, but the question was only worth 1 mark, and our teachers always tell us how MHS students have this tendency to over-answer every question, so I just gave the basic definition.

Will see what I get .

we didn't get that :S


i think i'll have lost that mark

i explained,
- was biological catalyst
- how it lowers activation energy and speeds up rate of reaction

- no example
-FORGOT to say it's not used up so pissed at myself.
and my teacher marks hard as, so i'll get 0/1 for that

When you guys are talking about including an example in your answer for enzyme definition.
Do you mean:
A) (eg. Amylase)
or
B) An example of an enzyme is amylase, which catalyses the breakdown of startch into sugar.

Thanks.

Did terribly, lost so much marks for really stupid mistakes. Got 22.5/25.

Lol terribly? That's still an A+!

[Christiano]

SAC 1: 24/25
SAC 2: 23/25

47/50 ~ 94%

So angry at myself though because for SAC 2 I lost a whole mark for not doing a proper hypothesis

Haha yeah, but I made a lot of careless mistakes losing me a lot of marks.

Man I got 23.5/25, I lost a half mark when I said that protein gets denatured by pH, but didn't go into detail about how it gets denatured. I lost the other mark because for the question "How an enzyme works" I described the induced fit model and how it forms a complex, but didn't mention that it lowers activation energy. Tell me that's not careless .
