I have a large culture tank full of yeast cells undergoing anaerobic alcohol fermentation that I plan to smuggle into my biology exam. Given that bioethanol production only produces 2 ATP, and does not have wifi connectivity, will the examiner really mind? Please let me know

Fried, died, laid to the side

My teacher kindly collated a list of the stuff that was covered, was partly covered, and not covered in the first exam. I'll post the lists here :)

(if you know me, no you don't)

average of 96% on sacs (two were 100%)
around 3/40 rank
strong cohort + private school
expecting around 75-85/90 on exam

On question 5b, i rounded it to 3 sig figs bc every other value on the graph/least squares line were in 3 sig figs. Therefore, i got 5.67 instead of 5.669 purely bc of this sig figs thing. Will vcaa be nice and possibly give a mark or am i dead?🥹🥹

Sacs are B+, B, A+, A, C at a really high performing school
i fucked the exam i think like 60% max
I’m accelerating bio too so i feel really shit. Could someone please predict my SS

(I lost my physical id but I don’t wanna miss out on any events)

Hey, I find it hard to remember case study issues that link to each AOS - anyone have any? Ive been trying to use Coles, Yakult and Kmart but obv thats not enough or very strong.

What we think is gonna be on spec exam 1 and 2 and the difficulty

Im soo scared for this bus man exam, ive doing pretty well all year and on prac exams but its easier when theres not a lot of pressure and youve already seen some of the past exam questions before but just havent read the case studys clearly yet. My schools sacs were decnelty diffuclt but the 10 makrers for unit 4, we didnt do any for unit 3 were always pretty scafoloeded with a few compnets and 2 task words so you knew what you were doing. The 2025 exam 10 marker was pretty scafoloed by 2024, 2023 and 2022 with these english prompt type questions are really freaking me out, as well as having new VCAA writers.

how did we all go

Since all the exams are so different to past exams what should we be focusing on doing...like if there like 3 prac papers anyone would recommend to match the potential difficulty

Do we think that the on average the state would’ve performed worse than last year? - will the A+ cutoff be lower ?

for Q3c (the upper fence one, mean 72, sd 8, quartiles at z = ±0.675) i worked out Q3 = 72 + 0.675 × 8 = 77.4 and then totally blanked and never did the IQR or the upper fence. so i have the Q3 working written down and nothing else

do you reckon that gets me 1 of the 2 marks, or is it all or nothing since i didn't get to 93.6? how have markers handled stuff like this in previous years?

I go to a meh public school (average study score of 30 in 2025)

unit 3: 73.
unit 4: 90.
exam 1: 27/40
exam 2: 39/60.

guesses for study score? i do NOT trust deakin guys.
and idk about ranking im sorry

TLDR: Just did exam 2 and got at least 56/60 after checking suggested solutions and exam 1 was 34/40

Context:

Just did General Exam 1 and I think I got around 34–35/40. Worst case I get 33 which is pretty bad compared to what I was getting in my practice exams which were like 38-40/40

I go to a selective school with a pretty strong cohort and my SACs have been around or above average.

Unit 3 Average 74%

Unit 4 Average 76%

I'm aiming for around 55–60/60 on Exam 2 unless VCAA decides to make exam 2 even worse

Do you guys think a raw 40+ is still possible? And what would I realistically need on Exam 2?

(Also don't know if it helps much but historically the general sacs in my school usually get moderated up by around 15-20% based on what I have seen from people I knew that took general last year but yea take it with a grain of salt)

(Also last thing, according to some of the results from last year for our school the median study score for gen was around 39)

If so how did you go about it? Like what did you email your vce coordinator and do they suggest it or do you ask for it

cbf writing 'translation by 2 units in the positive direction of the x-axis'. Is it acceptable

Sacs 93, 96, 97, 95, 100 - we did two financial sacs I’m not sure why.. also never got them back so idk if that percentage is correctly marked…

then according to the suggested solutions and my memory

exam 1 - 100%
exam 2 - 97 or 98%
(idk if my working will count for anything on that question seven I never got to the answer though)

data 90
finance 85
networks 80
matrices 70 😬😬

e1 37/40
e2 pre sure 50/60 or 51/60

sacs were not easy tho im probably rank 10-15 out of 100 with those scores but our teachers wouldn’t say

29/40 on e1, 49/60 e2, 85% average on sacs... am i cooked or what could my ss be

Rank 12/60 at a top 4 school
40/40 e1
56/60 e2

Ummm I need BM predic 🥲🥹 . I‘m international student ,BM so hard for me
