Biology
Detailed Stage 2 Biology Headstart Course hosted by a high achieving graduate (99.65 ATAR & Dux) and current third year Bachelor of Science student, double majoring in Chemistry and Biochemistry.
This course will cover two topics covered in SACE Stage 2 Biology. These include:
- Topic 1: DNA & Proteins
- Topic 3: Cells as the Basis of Life
This course will familiarise you with science-based learning and study strategies that will best equip you to maximise your marks throughout year 12. Such skills you will develop throughout this course are guaranteed to promote an in-depth understanding of the underlying concepts, which is essential for approaching test and exam questions with unfamiliar contexts.
In covering the content, you will gain an understanding of the key concepts being tested and effective strategies to approach your test and exam questions to obtain full marks.
You will be provided with test and exam-style questions written for and tailored to this headstart course, as well as comprehensive answers written by an Aim tutor.
This course will be hosted over 5 days in-person at the Eynesbury Senior College Campus on Flinders Street from 1:05 – 3:05pm from Monday 18th January until Friday 22nd January. Online attendance via Zoom will also be available.
Each session will have a duration of 2hrs, making a total of 10hrs of your year 12 preparation complete – and done right.
