how you find the cfs exam?
i thought is was pretty good,, parenting question c. was crappy but other then that was fine..

[clairebear41]

It was ok
did not like the multichoice nor the parenting/groups 15 mark questions. But i just wrote everything i knew. I loved the technology question

I used 6 booklets. my fucking arm.lol. and I have modern tomorrow so yay more study!

[possessionless]

EASYYYYYYYYYYYYY

i wrote 38 pages and my hand is about to drop off

[alisondance]

6 bookletes and writers cramp to my elbow!
disppointed by parenting and caring 15mrk qeustion was hoping for something more on parents like styles and stuff.
wasnt too bad but i felt i coould have put a lot more in but the questions didnt allow for a lot of stuff like the short answer section.
multiple choice was ok a bit dodgy.
i know i got a few wrong but im happy with it at least there is nothing i can do to change anything now!!


haha howd you all go in your IRP?? what was your topic??

[shannon_6]

Did anyone else do Individuals and Work as the option? I was so stuck on what to write for the 15 marker, and used about two booklets.

Hi guys
Can anyone tell me the long response questions? And the one for Indviduals and work?
Also, what kind of multiple choice questions did they ask and short answers?

[nikkea]

i didnt go much on the first couple of multiple choice. wording was really confusing.
and also didnt like parenting and caring question c. although it was really similar to my trial question. individuals and work question c was also not that great.
so glad its over though!

Pretty confident overall,
cept i think i could have done better in the
technology option, but pretty much aced the
coress!!!

yeah i did.
it was stuff like occupational health and safety, awards, anti-discrimination, grievance procedures, trade unions and workers compensation.

Overall I thought the paper was good, I wrote about 4pages on each 15 mark question and I understood it. Multi-choice was good I thought. short answer was good, though the last short question was a tad weird and i talked about teen pregnancy, young families and spousal death later in life. I liked Work and Groups. Though strategies for parenting and caring was whacked. I wrote a fair bit, I was the only one left in exam room but yea I was happy. Work yea I did similar thing, wrote about OH&S, EEO, Affirmative Action, Awards, Collective Bargaining, Flexible Business Cultures, Flexible Work Patterns, Grievance. All in all a good paper.

[elliegrace]

i did individuals and work. and it was kinda justa business studies questions for me so i did..
flexible working conditions, family friendy programs, unions, government legislation for job security and that sort of thing was pretty happy with that question..

im pretty sure some of those things you discussed are wrong. they come under another heading in the syllabus. the question asked for SUPPORTIVE WORKPLACE STRUCTURES which is this: (taken from the syllabus)

supportive workplace structures

• safe work environment
– Occupational Health and Safety
• work conditions
– awards
– anti-discrimination
– grievance procedures
• trade unions and employer organisations

• workers compensation/WorkCover

you seemed to have discussed some things in an entirely different syllabus dotpoint:

workplace supports for individuals as family
members

• flexible work patterns and practices
• workplace culture, including provision of
childcare
• regulations and entitlements
– carers’, maternity, paternity, long
service, sick and annual leave
– Equal Employment Opportunity and
Affirmative Action

– Enterprise Agreements
