Practise module-specific verbs

HSC questions use precise command terms — compare, evaluate, justify. Highlight these words before planning your answer.

Data questions need units and trends

Always state units, describe the trend, and link to biological theory — not just 'it increases'.

Use syllabus dot points as checklists

Print the official Biology syllabus outcomes and tick each after a past-paper question tests it.
