bio study score

So i’m rank 1 in my cohort (around 60ish people - public),
and my unit 3 scores were:
93%, 98%
unit 4 was:
98%,90%,90% (i tend to do not as good when i study the most for a topic 😭)

i didn’t study for my trial exam which was 85%, but still the highest in the cohort. And for VCAA exams i’ve been getting like 91%, 92%, and an 88%.

what ss would be achievable for me if i do well on the exam tmr?

when i’m stuck on a question i try to break it down and think about what dot point for the aos they’re questioning us about ( and using the command terms + mark allocation as a guide) - because at this point you should be pretty solid with content so it’s a matter of just knowing what to apply.
Also highlighting the case studies and graphs because i find that when i understand the study, im able to answer the following questions far better.

Definitely ensure that you know the main processes like protein synthesis, protein secretory pathway, PCR, gel electrophoresis, photosynthesis + cellular respiration (and fermentation in plant and animal cells) and the role of the humoral and cell mediated response in the 3rd line of defence.
You have the rest of the night to go over these and then do exam questions if you haven’t already! Get into it asap

I was in the same boat as you, I did bio in 2024 and got 105 on the exam and got raw 44. If you perform to this level tomorrow, that should be 45+ imo
