Practice paper focus areas

• Original synoptic practice 1: Food, health and wetlands — Original full topic-bank synoptic practice, not an official SACE examination format. The 60 marks allocate 15 marks to each of the four topic contexts; 90 minutes allows about 1.5 minutes per mark. A 10-credit program selects concepts from at least two topics and a 20-credit program from all four; schools may select partial topics. Use relevant questions for your taught program. — Cells and microorganisms, Infectious disease, Multicellular organisms, Biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics
• Original synoptic practice 2: Growth, defence and coastal restoration — Original full topic-bank synoptic practice, not an official SACE examination format.
