Btw, do you know if year 12s can participate in the NQE? Obviously they can't be accepted for the summer school but can they at least take the exam and try and get a medal?

Can confirm, you can take the exam as a Year 12 and still be awarded a certificate and medal if you perform well enough

I know some people get 40% in chem and get in! But as for bio, i assume it is higher. I did the test and it came of as easier so maybe but yeah just aim for the highest you can.

All the gold medallists receive an invitation into summer school, where they select the Australian representative team from the short-listed candidates.

For biol, should I do past VCE papers, and should I focus on the tougher ones like Kilbaha? (and what others?) :D

Do the Olympiad papers then maybe try your hand at the actual world Olympiad papers themselves for the Bio Olympiad, tbh I don't know how similar they will be but worth a try.

Usually through the school, if your school doesn't annually hold it, then ask your head of science to enroll you individually.

Anyone here sure as to roughly when the olympiad results arrive at our schools?
And if anyone were to qualify for the school, about when are they told?

They are supposed to arrive some time during October and I suppose the same is for being notified whether you got into the summer school or not. Btw I'm assuming you did the Chem exam, I did, how did you find this years exam?
