Hey i'm doing 3/4 biology next year and i didn't do unit 1 so i was just wondering if i should revisit all of unit one or just particular topics in order to be prepared for next year.

Hey Lauren, while I did not do biology 1/2, I have heard from several sources that the vast majority of content from units 1 and 2 are not looked at in units 3 and 4. So while there may be a small amount of cross over, this means that it wouldn't take you long to pick it up.
So I would not recommend spending a great deal of time reviewing unit 1, as it will probably not contain much information that you will need.

Hey, I'm currently doing Bio 3/4 and have started to think about the exams already (yep ik it's still 5 months) because I wanted to gather all the "good" exams. I heard that VCAA tends to be the best option, but knowing myself, I would probably be wanting to do more practice. Are there any practice exams from other companies that would come in handy - hopefully some that are harder than the actual exam?

Thank you for explaining this! Would you say just doing only practice VCAA questions is most helpful to be able to understand what points are needed for common question types? Did you use any other practice tests? e.g. Neap, TSSM, checkpoints, studyclix etc.?
lune777 i feel like this is applicable for every subject, but you wont get any better than vcaa exams- trial exams from other companies are never exactly as vcaa would write, because they’re not vcaa!
studyclix is just a compilation of vcaa questions and a few trial exams, only good to use when you want to focus on a specific topic. and checkpoints are a great tool especially for science subjects.

Is anyone planning on buying and reselling the 2024 practice exam? Or be interested in buying them together the costs can be split?

Just a few questions first where would you recommend getting past papers from. how long did you mark your paper for and also did you do the majority of your past papers in time condition?

i am not a bio student but i do psych and i would like to say same approach should apply.
try using vcaa exams whenever you can, ESPECIALLY in timed conditions. company exams are good to do untimed but with vcaa ones, the question types are similar to what you're getting this year.
for completing/marking: sit the whole 2.5 hours, just like you will during the exam. marking should take around 1-1.5 hours if you do it properly. with your mistakes, identify WHY you have lost marks and fill those gaps in your knowledge- this is why it's quality over quantity.

hello! just wondering if any past students have any advice with ethics questions?? i'm really confused with how to approach them in terms of structure with the approaches and concepts. With thinking of ethical issues, are there any ways to get better of thinking of them on the spot? any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
