Our school is just finishing up on chapter 8 but I've managed to learn up to chapter 10... how should I tackle enzymes, DNA, protein, pathways and medicine?... They seem much harder. :S

Hmmm, just go for it. I haven't done Biol, and I'm coping fairly well with the exam Q's related to DNA/Enzymes etc, if you have a look at exams they don't ask anything to out of the ordinary.

For most of that stuff reading the textbook should be sufficient. These topics are only brief and pretty straight forward

Practise exams questions on these parts will always be repetitive/similar to each other so you will get the hang of it.

You may as well start with checkpoints questions and the AOS 1 topic test from lisachem (taken from Cleoxo's awesome database). The most important thing at the moment is to solidify stuff from AOS 1, practice exam-style questions and read up in your textbook so you're prepared for AOS 2.

Pretty much Biology helps with all of Chapter 12, 13 and part of 14 (Heinemann).

I've started practice exams for bio, haven't done any VCAA ones, about 6 so far. Average of 60-80% which is alright for now

This is a chem thread....

I don't really think the Bio section goes too in depth though, I've never done Bio but it's very manageable IMO for a non-bio person such as myself :P

Yeah, and from the exams I've done, they seem to ask the same questions quite often...

1995 :o
I bet it had some strange questions haha

And are you asking me about marks? Umm, generally 8-10 for a hard exam, or 0-3 for an easy exam.
