How did everyone find the cssa biology exam today?



-too much time given compared to other subjects where you run out of time?
-extended response was confusing?

I think it was an okay exam. I also don't think the questions were evenly distributed among the topics which is a real bummer after all the hours studying!

The 8 marker took me so long to figure out what to write and I don't even think what I wrote was what they were after :/

Sigh...

yes there was ALOT on blueprint, barely anything on MAB and some more on search. not evenly distributed.

just hoping the HSC exam is much better than that was! dreading the results :(

Yeah same! I think it was my worst biology exam which is really disappointing.

You know how you said you did the reproductive technologies for the 7 marker? Did you mean the 8 marker?

The 8 marker was a broad question, you could have talked about anything, but I just talked about reproductive with the process they used, example, how it leads to survival or technology has the potential to lead to survival ( cloning-potential for transplanting organs)
