Multiple choice was annoying.. I thought killer T-cells were the same as cytotoxic T-cells?
And.. what are proteins bound to?

Killer T are the same as cytoxic T. I'm pretty sure the answer was B cells, macrophages etc.

Proteins are bound to lipids. That's one that I know I got wrong. It's one of those OH DAMN I KNEW THAT ones!

For an English/Business orientated person, I'm just glad it's over. Never have to look at science again :) If I got a ban 5 like I did in trials I'll be happy.

Fairly easy, just a few tricky things that I may have lost a mark or two on.

How well does biology scale? I would assume it's not that much of a difference?

I went pretty average. Did hardly any study for bio though cause i don't like it. I don't need a high ATAR anyways for uni. Still i would like to have done okay in the exam. I reckon the communication part was alright. The LASIK, mammals hearing, and hearing aids/cochlear implants questions i think i did pretty well on.

But aren't Cytotoxic T Cells, Cell mediated - i.e. They only affect infected cells. Whereas B-cells are actually Blood-mediated...i.e. They attack the antigens directly?

i thought MC was alrightttt, short answer was pretty good, communication = shit.

So glad it's over, but realising all the stupid mistakes i've made now!

It was an alright paper but some questions were a bit weird. Communication was relatively simple, but I didn't enjoy the ear question that was combined with the brain. All the BOL points I studied was barely in there and it was mainly SFBH :l

I think it was a good paper. MC was tricky though.

Hoping for 85-90/100

That's what i thought, but i'm unsure of what's the difference between Cytotoxic and Killer T cells, i put (D) but that's only because it's more correct..(scientifically speaking)
