Biologists! How was it?
JL_91:
Same..but I totally don't regret cramming aerobic respiration yesterday, because of that question about the electron transport chain! If I hadn't revised it yesterday, there would have be no way in hell I could have done that question. I'm glad they didn't ask about plant hormones though, because I am totally blank on those. Did anyone else find the multi choice fairly easy?

Psych and chem for meeee.

Good luck :D ! Well, I was supposed to have psych, but I dropped it a month before the mid year exam. Crazy? Maybe. But I already had 2 subjects under my belt from last year, and the psych SAC standard at my school was so ridiculously high that even marks like 26/30 were only As. I do have one more mid-year exam - Linguistics at uni on Friday.

...LOL psych was doing my head in. Biology just seems to 'click' in my head much better than all the other sciences!

Was it because it was a deep wound and the cells surpassed the first and second lines or defense? :P I had no idea.
Oh, and I have chem tomorrow which, for me, is 10 times worse than Bio unfortunately :P

Good luck for chem! For that Tassie devil question, I wrote that the antigens carried by the foreign cells (i.e. the tumour cells) are virtually identical to the uninfected devil's autoantigens, hence the tumour cells were treated as 'self' by the immune system.

I wrote "Because the tumour cells were passed from another Tasmanian devil, the immune system was tricked into believing the cells to be passively acquired". It's most likely wrong but was the only thing I could think of.

People, you don't have to just use this thread btw. If you have specific questions, I.E. "What did you guys get for 2 c)?" Make a new thread! You guys have a WHOLE BOARD for this :P
Nick:
How did you go for time? I remember from last year that my friends commented on how there wasn't enough time to complete the whole exam.
Toothpaste:
I finished at 10:15am thinking that was when the exam was meant to finish. Then I saw the next column of times on the board which had "10:30" and "10:45" and mentally slapped myself.
