A+ Cut Off Prediction for 2011 VCAA Biology Exam 1

[stonecold]

mmm i put B   dam guess that 23/25 -.- nooooooo

If it makes you feel better, I got 23/25 on MC for the 2010 mid year. 

Don't lose hope, you can still do very well. 

Just curious, what score did you get overall?

Off the top of my head it was
Exam 1 70/75
Exam 2 68.5/75

Todays short answer looked relatively straight forward, so I would imagine you are in the box seat for a 50.

lowest cut off was 2006 which was 54/75
highest was 2008 for 62.5/75
last year was 59/75.

this exam was harder. according to everyone at my school who sat it.
im feeling 57

therer was similar hype over last years exam i reckon itll be the same.

hey if i included a protien chanell in my phospholipid bi layer and labelled is is that ok ?

Of course, however the main point of the question was to show the orientation of phospholipids, so as long as the addition of proteins was complementary to this, then yes, I don't see anything wrong with that.

wat did ppl write for the diagram. The question that asked whether it was cellulose or the enzyme? >.<, i think i got it wrong

[Russ]

It was cellulose

stupid abscissic acid ... why is the dumb thing called abscic acid if it doesnt cause abscision  :S grrr dam yo0u ethylene

I don't think I did very well
Anyone know what the lowest amount of marks for a C+ might be?

[lbeste12]

For last year's exam it was
35-40.5 out of 75.
Lose a maximum of 40 marks.

I marked myself with the predicted answers.
64/75, which would be 128/150.
Hopefully VCAA will be around about the 60s.

So like a low-mid A+ (HOPEFULLY)
How hard should I be working in unit 4 or how high should I be aiming for unit 4 exam to get a SS of 45+ ?

Had a quick skim of the paper.
I think it was easier than last years. The A+ mark last year was 118/150 which is 59/75. Im gonna predict around 61-62/75?

for the record. I got 64.5/75 and 69/75 for the 2 exams for my 45.
I think it was SACs that scaled me down a bit because they were honestly bad

[jenerator]

do they give half marks?

[lexitu]

Two assessors mark your exam so e.g. if one give you 2/3 and the other gives you 3/3 then you receive 5/6 = "half mark."

[jane1234]

I think 70 is the maximum I'll get... less if the VCAA assessors aren't feeling very nice... overall, not too bad... though I think I should've checked my SA more carefully... ah well, time for chem tomorrow!!

[Keo]

Fingers crossed for mid A+ if im lucky, an A at least hopefully
