biology challenge
My DD is doing a national biology challenge next week junior level year 9 has anyone had any experience of this apparently you are tested on curriculum + current affairs and it's completed online any idea of format ie multiple choice etc and what kind of current affairs would be helpful she and i are worried she is gonna look like a duffer an alarm will go off and she'll be instantly put in bottom set science for next year

doesn't give a great deal away!
am sure it must be multiple choice though - they couldn't mark them otherwise
hopefully someone with experience be along in a 'tick'

ok for anyone that is interested or for future searches she did the challenge yesterday but hasn't got the result yet it was done online but wasn't a mutiple choice she had to write answers she said it was mainly on her ks3 coursework however it was a bit harder than she was expecting so i suspect it was a challenging ks3 test she was shown for example some molecules with carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms and asked same questions she found this hard ("bl**dy chemistry not biology" was what she said) and they asked her what animal was in the wwf motto which she didn't know ( ) but otherwise things like what is the process called that makes o2 and glucose from water and co2 and what is the reverse called, what is DNA etc
Re: biology challenge
if anyone is interested dd finally got result she got a bronze award which seem a bit rubbish to me but my dd said her teacher said was v good so i don't know really daughter protests that there are lots of kids who get no award at all so i'm not sure what to make of it, it was good to get chosen i suppose
Re: biology challenge
Don't know about this level but for the one taken by 6th formers a bronze award is a pretty good result!
