All papers are modelled on current information about the 2012 WACE examinations.
For Security reasons, the Year 11 and Year 12 Stage 2 Human Boiological Science test papers are entirely different from one another.
Year 11 papers may be purchased in different combinations:
2A/2B papers – for schools examining the whole year’s work at the end of the year and
2B-only papers – for schools examining Semester 2 work only at the end of the year and
Linked papers - schools which wish to use one paper now and have the other for a future resource may purchase both papers at a reduced rate. (NB Approximately 50% of the material will be common to the 2A/2B paper and the 2B-only paper.)
WATP test papers are available only on disk. Providing papers on disk allows schools to amend papers, giving added security and a better match to their students’ needs.
In 2012 each school must nominate and pay for the number of papers it plans to print. No more than this number of papers may be produced from the disk in 2012.
From 2013 onwards you may use the disk as a site licence without extra charge. This means that the materials may be reproduced, providing use is limited to the students in your school.
Marking Guides are provided free of charge for use within the school.
Copyright for both test papers and marking guides remains with West Australian Test Papers.
Disks may be copied for back-up purposes only and may not be transmitted to any other school, institution or individual.
The disks are in IBM format using Word 2010.
The
security of the test papers is of
prime importance to the many schools which use them as assessment items.
All order forms must therefore be signed
by the Head of Learning Area (Biological Sciences) to indicate acceptance of the
security and copyright provisions outlined on the form.
Special note should be taken of the date on which papers may be
released to students.
Breaches
of the security provisions are extremely rare, but should any such problem come
to your attention, you are requested to notify WATP immediately.
You can be assured that action will be taken against any offender, in the
interest of all users.

·
