[Catalist] WATP Human Biology 12

Tue May 29 16:31:04 AEST 2018

Yep
Bit hard (more convoluted questions and less more straightforward/recall ones I think, unbalanced) – scaled by 5% for me. As I did last year, for same reasons for a negligible moderation result after ATAR (I had them bang on). Remember on Catalist crew saying last year they thought it proved tough too.
So they were down…but after scaling, came within the usual 5% range of their overall scores.
So….no, not representative. Have heard of other schools saying same, same.

And…that marking key tho….

Islets of Langerhans are not “effectors” (Insulin/Glucagon do not change glucose levels, they stimulate other tissues….the real “effectors” to do that).

There is no such thing as “water concentration”. Ask any chemist. Though the text most of use still propagates that misuse of chemical terminology.

And….from memory…modulators got left off some questions as a markable point. So it SRERF now…not SR MERF.

And..no…I accepted none of these errors/omissions in my marking, Im just commenting.

Also…from original sent out – working times did not match for page 2 table and rest of exam, Sect 2 had 7 questions not 8 (see Page 9), 33e these are glands not tissues, Q 36 – parts misnumbered. Bit of a treasure hunt….sure you found all these.

Now for Biology……..

Hi all

Did other schools complete the ATAR Human Biology exam for Semester 1?

Thoughts?

How did students go?

Was it a good representation of your students ability?
