I think a more integrated approach would've been what markers were looking for, so if you didn't say explicitly - 'these are the 5 elements of the marketing plan and this is how the research assists it', BUT rather you said - this is stage 1 of the research process, describe it and then say it...

Fair enough. What I think the Board will end up doing is mark it how they want it and align the marks up afterwards. So if you were able to answer the question to a pretty good standard, I think you've got it pretty good. Also I agree, Christianity and Islam had bad questions. I chose the...

Don't take this as a personal attack or anything, but the prophet Muhammed is on the syllabus, it's the second dotpoint of the preliminary section. Although it's not on the Year 12 section, the preliminary course is assumed knowledge. However, I do agree that the Board of Studies did attempt to...

I think that it'll be 89-90. The test wasn't hard. They won't align the test just because they tested topics which a few people in the state didn't bother to focus on. Although the topics were weird and weren't worded to well, they were fairly reasonable questions which an average student...

I'm hoping I get over 50. In the trials I got 45, but I wasn't properly prepared then and I found I was a lot more prepared during this exam.

No but the Board can implement exams which may be interpreted difficult or easy and that will determine the performance of the cohort as a whole. For example, in the past, the Board would've specified a Text type (such as a Feature Article) and regardless of the fact that Board set it to be...

I started with 14 units in Year 11, dropped to 11 by Year 12 and I must say it's pretty beneficial. The only downside is if you're not ace at english, then you're basically kissing away goodbye the premier's 10 unit all rounders award.

I'd say roughly 1500 words an essay (that's for my essays).

I agree the question wasn't as nice as it should've been, but I thought it was ok. I did the Buddhism question, because it specifically said teachings, ethics and practices - so I just wrote about how Temple Puja and Bioethics related to the five precepts, the three jewels and the eightfold...

Module A - 12 Module B - 11 Module C - 10 I have average sized writing, I wouldn't consider it big, but also I know I don't write as small as I usually do in exam conditions. Also, as people have said, quality over quantity, although I've heard some markers have initial impressions based on...

To be honest, I don't think that the raw cut-off mark will be as low as 80 this year. It seemed like a fairly easy paper this year, so personally in my opinion I'd think it'd be at least 85.

I personally thought it was a very poorly written exam. The content itself wasn't hard, but the wording of the question was not up-to-scratch imo. Most people aren't confident with their performance in the exam, I know I didn't do as well as I would have hoped. Personally, because...

hey there, how'd you go in business?

Re: Business Studies Section IV: Extended Response I thought the extended response was quite fair, well question 28 was, kinda similar to the CSSA trial. I think I would've been screwed if I attempted q.27, but luckily I didn't. EDIT: Also, I wrote 14 pages for my response.

Overall I thought it was a fair exam. Multiple Choice, I think 2 questions got me thinking quite a bit (I probably got them wrong), short answers was fair (although they did ask some things which were I wouldn't say hard, but not expected - well not by me anyway), report was fairly easy and...

thanks man! best of luck for wednesday! =)
