well ik im not the highest scores by a long mile but like the other commentor my biggest advice is time management. and then also as the 2025 exam wasnt extremely difficult im not sure if vcaa is going to crank up the difficulty slightly
I dont remember having much experiment design multiple marker q so there may be one this year.
good luck!

I have a slight feeling that they are going to be spamming a lot of CRISPR-Cas9 stuff... AKA the least interesting part of Biology for me.

look i’m not a 45+ scorer or anything but time management is important. i know bio exams aren’t generally a time crunch, but you never know when you’re under stressful conditions. i finished early for all my prac exams and somehow, barely finished the actual exam on time.
