Um if possible could you also explain the epidemiological study question and what you think we had to include please. I didn't specify independent and dependent variables but I did talk about controls for validity...

For me, both epidemio and gene flow were the place i could potential lose a mark. the question for epidemiology was a two parter so both design and the justify component. Also idk if this is a mark but i mentioned it was a cohort study - depends if hsc markers mark for this but adding this would have elevated the response. for the design component going over all the steps u would do - so i did a numbered format. for example, like gathering the people from each age group and doing a good cross-section of society. then i just did like 9 steps in total going from gathering people to collecting data to presenting data. for the justify part is when the reliability, accuracy and validity stuff came in. Personally, i regret not doing this but i didnt split my justification into these criteria clearly. I just wrote like 2 pages of justification without a clesr structure. But i went over like general evaluative stuff like time of study, number of people, regular checkups, systematic bias, random bias. I also mentioned that despite the data not showing trends specific to each region A,B,C this would be data collected for internal use. In regards to ur controls - as long as you mentioned like how ur design effectly eliminates eroneous variables you should be good. But since ur jsyt justifying i dont think they will mark you off if you dont name drop reliability, validity and accuracy. Also independt and dependent shouldnt be an issue in epidemiology studies and the question basically specified them anyway so should be chill - i didnt specifcy them as well in my response.

also does anyone know if the posted MCQ solutions from Aya's(?) enhance education account are reliable? lowk stressing or does anyone have any other link to potential answers

its not confirmed yet so dont stress out just wait till nesa posts it, thats her predictions

went through the answers with teachers and we got the same answers as seen on her page. so i would say highly reliable. but we will only really know when hsc releases results

I’m not too sure if these are the same or diff but I’ll send them anyways

 

[b4_youknow]

I didn’t really look at them properly

1. B
2. D
3. A
4. C

16. A (wording is confusing me a little)
17. C (I'm so confused why does T have like double the amount of all the other phases)
18. B
19. C (a nucleotide is just one bit right?)
20. D

I don't do bio I'm just messing around ANYWAYS MARK ME

edit: according to the answers posted on here, 4 and 6 are wrong

16/20 I think! What, your so smart!

 

[killer queen]

16/20 I think! What, your so smart!

aww thanks! may I ask what the other wrong ones were? or I might've just read the questions wrong...

I admit some of the genome/DNA stuff my science teacher kinda taught us in year 10, we had two "advanced" science classes so she would go and teach us year 12 DNA stuff haha
For question 3 I just did the tried and true method of "well which one has two double ups, it has to be that bc NESA tries to confuse us..."

 

[b4_youknow]

Which ones cuz I thought only 4 and 6 were wrong? B and D

 

[reniiiblaseee]

im actually so mad at the stupid mcq mistakes i made

Oh my bad you actually got 18/20!!! I was so fatigued yesterday I did 20-2=16...
The two you got wrong were 4 (should be B) and 6 (should be D)

Awww it’s okay I hope you’re well rested today then <3

 

[tropics...]

guys do they mark harsh

i think for the longer responses like the 7 markers maybe
