Can someone just list possible language features/visual features/tones to look for in comprehension? I know quite a few, but I'm sure there are others out there.

I'm hoping for a 90 or more. I averaged about 85 throughout the year, with really minimal study(I thought I was doing a lot, but not compared with what I've done for this exam) heh. I'll be so freaking glad when it's over. *Looks forward to 12:25 tomorrow!!!!!!!*

Well I've put heaps of study into Business, been doing about 6 hours a day on it the past 2 weeks. So today I've just done another 2 past papers(even though I've already done them all, heh), and am just reading the syllabus over and over, trying to get EVERYTHING to stick, because there are...

Yeah, sorry. I think the fact that they won't be using Global in the Case Study(we're 90% sure), means it'll be the biggy in the other one.

2007 - Marketing/Employment Relations/Financial 2006 - Management/Global/Employment Relations 2005 - Financial/Global/Marketing & Financial Objectives(Ouch that was a lot in that one) The order is, the first topic listed is the one that needed the least info, with the last needing more detail -...

Was thinking so. I'd love Employment and Marketing. Yummy, nice easy Business Report. :P

Would you say that basically it's a guarantee that the Business report topics will not be the same as last year? Eg, The case study question won't be on International Expansion and the other report won't have it's MAIN focus on cash flow management and profitability management?(As that was the...

Interesting question - but I seriously doubt it...unless the Government are nice and pay for extra places, to avoid an unskilled labour force, in that case UAI's would fall - but I doubt it. :(

Sorry, I used bad wording heh. There are 8 themes that I know of, and I use a select few depending on the question. So no I don't write about all 8, but it does look like I wrote that. :P I use 2-4 themes, hehe. Alrighty, so 'less is more' in terms of themes I guess you're saying. I'll try and...

Hehe, that's the answer to that question Jess.

I've achieved only 13/15 in my AoS Half Yearly and Trial papers. I'm just wondering how I can boost that up to 15. It's my weakest area, and I don't know why, heh. I use 8 dominant themes in analysing The Tempest, and use Prospero, Ariel and Caliban as dominant characters that portray these...

Then when they do the scaling, if the person who was coming first doesn't come first, the person who did come first will have their internal mark a long way behind what their external mark was. I'm not sure if they keep the entire 30 mark gap, but they do ensure a sufficient gap is left, based...

Well I tied first in one subject as well. To put it simply, you can't actually 'tie' in the eyes of the BoS. Your school(or maybe somewhere else) would have done a count-back system. So maybe there was a 0.01% difference, that makes the gap between first and second. I was 0.02% behind the guy...

Indeed. Ranking in the internal examinations, is important, however the INTERNAL marks are not. The rank indicates which external marks you will get to replace your Internal marks. So Say John is rank 1, Tom is rank 2, and Sally is rank 3 in Modern History. In the exam, Sally gets the top...

Ok, just a tip for you. The syllabus dot points are what make up the 'meat' of your Reports. If it asks, "The business wants to know how to manage change effectively" for instance, you'd set it out like so: "Managing Change Effectively Identify the need for change [Talk about that here] Set...

? I've heard many great things about UTS' standing in terms of it's Business degree...are you being serious, or just trying to ignite an anxious fire in all of us, whilst we are having enough trouble trying to cope with the pressures of these upcoming exams? Heh..

My school is back in the rank 300's. Eek. No mean UAI was given to us, but I know there were about 15 people who got 90 - 95 last year. Yeah, it's a sad figure :( However, I feel this year will be better. Personally, I think I can break 95. :) I'm hoping this year is a dumb year. *Grin* Heh...

Deffinitely a band 4, POSSIBLE borderline band 5. :)

Hmm. Why bother scratching the answer onto the paper? Personally I try and use the time to formulate answers to the long response - and then remember in my head, "Ok, question 1 was A...2 was C" etc. etc. I just think scratching the answer is a little waste of time? =/

UTS all the way! I've got a cadetship with PwC(Big ass accounting firm), and they allow me to go to UNSW, UTS or Mac. So I'm hoping to get into UTS, or if not, Mac. Screw UNSW! :P
