I'm curious to know how many case studies I should use in my last extended response in the HSC business paper. I read sample answers by BOS and most of them refer to only one case study (usually qantas) throughout, but my teacher said you can use several case studies throughout so you don't need to know one business in depth but rather many businesses in some lesser detail. I used 4 in my Trial and got 17/20, and in a sample test I got marked got 18/20 in which I used only one. So yea, I'm confused, What should i be doing?

I was recommended to use 3-4 different case studies,and I think it mentions in the markers notes/feedback that the better responses had a variety of case studies utilised.

Use multiple, one case study won't cover all the syllabus dot points properly. Using multiple isn't hard, just use businesses you know well (e.g from your hobbies) and it will improve your essay without any extra workload.
