2020 Biology Exam

[waterangel82]

I think I lost 8-10 marks on the exams...have I kissed my chance of a 40+ study score goodbye?

Highly unlikely, that should score you a good 40+. I remember thinking I lost around 8-10 marks on the exam (although this was in 2017, and the exam was pretty challenging), and I ended up getting 50.

Just wanted to add that only losing 10 marks on a Biology exam is actually really good haha. That should get you around a raw 45 or 46 (according to last year's grade distribution statistics anyway).

Wowowowo thank you vce2020!! I feel much better bahahahaha
crossing fingers this year's statistics stay the same as last year's

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to ask what type of study score you think i will get for bio if i was ranked about 6th-9th in the cohort and my average grades are:

GA1- 82%
GA2- 87%
GA3- 72-74% approx.

Thanks.

Hi there!
I really have no idea (especially the way this year has panned out with the bushfires and covid), but I would think either low 40s maybe? It also depends on how your sacs end up scaling and the strength of your overall cohort though..

Past science exams can be found here - but you may have to wait a while for the 2020 exam to be put up

Did anyone else think that the Bio exam was suspiciously easy? I'm a bit worried that I found it so easy... it was easier than my past practice exams.

No, I found it pretty easy as well, and was a bit worried that it might have thrown me out of the loop.
Though looking at my study score, I'm gonna go ahead and say that it did.
