essays - practice how to integrate theory with case studies
reports - just practice strucutre (they're basiclaly short answer but just do heaps of contextualising with the example business)

surely give some tips on how to get full marks for short answers
remember that I am a yr 12 student too so these might be trash but

The biggest thing IMO is contextualizing to the stimulus. This is also the same with your business reports. So start with a general answer of the question (explaining the influence/process/strategy etc). Then a sentence or two (depending on mark allocation) about why this leads to business success (or whatever q is asking). Then spend 1-2 sentences contextualizing deeply HOW the business would do this.

Don't just say, "Boost Clothing could utilize leading edge technology to increase the quality of output". That's basic. You need to be super specific. i.e. "Boost clothing could utilise leading edge technology, by purchasing innoative machinary that seemlessly stitches buttons to their shirts. This can increase the durability of BC's clothing, preventing them from ripping, therby increasing the quality and dependability of their products." - even this i would add a little bit more detail, but its from the top of my head so i cant think too much.

Also remember that 9 times out of 10, there is a little part of the stimulus, that correlates to the questions asked. So if they ask about environmental sustainability, there is probably something in there about them being reluctant to utilise plastic straws etc. So make sure you also use the info given.

Hope that helps a bit
