^ no, if you get it half correct you get zero for it.

i put sieve plate and sieve tube....

I thought that they would give 0. I did the same thing to.

Argh, I forgot all about the agar experiment. Heh, however it was 4 marks, so I believe they should give me something.

Unless they don't give you marks if it's an experiment not in the syllabus?

convergent evolution i.e. they evolved to be similar because they're living in similar environments

pretty sure that would be fine. as long as it does what the question says you're alright.

for the phloem one, i put sieve plate and sieve element... i always sucked at that section lol.

That was so easy, Aced it

I put sieve cells and companion cells? but i was unsure.

[chomp]

I completely stuffed up the chemical composition... and that tympannic membrane one was very very weird (i spoke about information gathhering and also modeeling the tymmpanic membrane). But i wrote 5 pages for the 7 marker i.e. blood and for communication technology one

same.

That test was easy except for the 1 multiple choice one i stuffed and the 1 short answer i half stuffed up.

Human Story was soooo easy!

Come to think of it... I cant remember any questions on lymphocytes... were there any?

I did the same thing! The phloem thing was companion cell and sieve plate I think. On iPhone so I will post more thoughts when I get home. But overallgood.

I did the same

Good test, a lot of focus on MAB. Happy overall

I had no idea what to write for the 8 marker on the blood transfusions......
couls it have been the seive plate and packing cell?

Me too..

What specifics were we supposed to talk about?

[Roy9]

my ass hurts from the raping it just undertook from that exam

[danz90]

To be completely honest, I reckon I absolutely smashed it. We did the multiple choice with my teacher after the exam, and I got 15/15 (acording to her answers). I felt really good about all short answers, a nice 8 marker we got this year - the information was basically there, it was all about making links to biological concepts etc.

The communication part was a little more tricky than expected. The questions aren't exactly how they've been in the past. The tympanic membrane 6-marker made you really think back to what the function of tympanic membrane is. I went on about testing for equal pressure on both sides, that the ossicles in middle ear are vibrated (using instruments bla bla), and testing for any moisture on the other side of the membrane when a liquid such as water is poured over the other end (to show its impermeable to liquid).

The 4-mark experiment on water.. i probably got 3 coz i forgot to include risk asessment (from what i remember). I used two agar plates, used two separate innoculating loops to grow any bacterial cultures on the medium. This would show how effective that new product was at disinfecting drinking water.

Band 6, here I come (hopefully lol)
