Give me some.....

I've got all my notes summarised but i can't remember enough, i've attempted a past paper and compared it with bands and guidelines and in my belief this paper 2002 i've only scored 68%

So any tips you offer?

remember the syllbaus off by heart..and then remember sub pts under each main pt... once u have the big picture and the framework it is so much easier to study...

when u try to memorise definitions or reports...reemmber the keywords.....then practice strinign them together.....remember word by word is relaly time conusming and if not good at memorising lyk myself...it take a loooot of time..

when u do reports..always do a plan that goes with it.... helps u to stay on track and answer the qeustion at the same time....

when u write reports..try to have a concluding sentence for each major pt.... thatz a generalisaiton abt eveyrhting u have mentioend as well answeirng hte question..

is ur notes relaly detialed? if ur notes are over 10 pages for the whole topic,chances are u wont need 50% of it..

I've attempted some of tips you suggested already

The only thing that really hurts me is the financial ratios + reports, do you know where i can find a specific outline page for writing reports i used to have one but i think i lost it, if you do can you post it?

I tend to write 6-8 pages for every topic eg. marketing

i have added stuff abt writing biz reports in the *biz studies resrouces* forum

http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/showthread.php?s=&postid=295759#post295759

although some of the stuff are not directly related to the hsc, but it does offer good poitners for a professional finish.

but i will add more notes on report writing (hsc related) tonight when i get on my windows.... then i can scan some stuff....

When do you think you can scan the notes?

I'm not in a hurry but do you think you can get it scanned by Saturday at the latest?

Thanks, for your generous offer :)

for a report theres a basic structure dat i alwayz follow.. i dunno if its totally rite but it works 4 me

firstly do a plan b4 u start, jot down all ur key points ur gonna b discussin, strategies etc etc
do an executive summary, this makes it look good and gives u a starting point
then bring up each problem and discuss. then write about all the strategies u suggest. do this 4 each topic
at d end do a summary of recommendations n conclusion

just make sure u dont spend 2 much time on it like me, i tend 2 get carried away n den have 2 do d last qstn in a rush

I know how to analyse a report, but i can't do a complex type question

What i'm talking about is

Look at HSC PAPER 2002 question 27

I dunno how to analyse it, i need help on that type of question

But question 28, 29 i know how to do the report because is basically a essay but you put it under subheadings, hightlight etc..

So how would analyse question 27?

Those questions always stuff me up, weird?
