Text 1 for questions 1 to 4. For many students, exams seem a necessary evil. Time-consuming yet inevitable. But are exams really necessary? In 2011, Macquarie University was the first Australian university to debate the abolition of exams. No exams in any subject, at any year level. At the time it was suggested that exams fail to develop “questioning, self-sufficient learners”. Critics also often argue that they promote a superficial understanding of topics, and that they are inauthentic. That is, they fail to represent the kinds of things students will be asked to do “in the real world”. However, this is taking a narrow view of the benefits of exams. Exams include many of the aspects we want from assessment. Good assessment programs aim to provide a balanced, fair evaluation of each student. They achieve this in two ways. First, they use of a variety of strategies and task. This gives students multiple opportunities, in varying contexts, to demon-strate what they know and can do. It also enables teachers to be confident in the accuracy of their judgments about each student. Second, task must be fit for purpose. Each task should be appropriate to the specific goals it is assessing.

Text 5 for question 16 to 19. Rabbits are small mammals with fluffy, short tails, whiskers and distinctive long ears. There are more than 30 species around the world, and while they live in many different environments, they have many things in common. Some rabbits are about the size of a cat, and some can grow to be as big as a small child. Small rabbits, such as pygmy rabbits, can be as little as 8 inches (20 centimeters) in length and weigh less than a pound. Larger species grow to 20 inches (50 cm) and more than 10 lbs (4.5 kilograms). Rabbits are known for their insatiable repro-ductive habits for good reason. They usually breed three to four times each year. This is be-cause only 15 percent of baby rabbits make it to their first birthday, according to the Animal Di-versity Web (ADW). Each pregnancy produces three to eight babies, called kits. After four to five weeks, a kit can care for itself. In two or three months it is ready to start a family of its own. If there is a lack of natural predators, an area can quickly become overrun with them.
