So how'd you guys find the paper? Personally, I liked the extended responses. I picked Q23 and Q25 and I think i did okay (better than my half yearlies and trials, thats for sure).

Multiple choice was alright, some i was unsure of though. This is what I got, please correct me if i'm wrong or if you got something different.

I was tossing between B and C for 1. I put B because to increase a price by say 50% you would go 1.5x20 which would be $30. But this question asked for 200% so I just did 2x20 which is $40...the 2 being 200%. Im not completely sure though.

I dunno about 5. I think you're right.

6 im pretty sure is B coz keeping minimum stock levels decreases purchases so it would increase gross profit.

Dunno about 11 and 15.

I said A for 6, because wouldn't having minimum stock in storage mean that you wouldn't have to mark up as much to cover the excess's cost?
7 i had no clue so guessed B..
15 i said c mainly cause i was guessing but how would an EmployER association allow workers to negotiate?

I walked out of the paper after the first hour.. attempted all questions but I wasn't too into it.. it won count for me anyway.. how long did other people take?

5 booklets all up? I think i used 2 whole booklets for one question and about 1.5 booklets for another question. So in total 3.5 booklets (round up to 4 lol).

The booklets had only 4 pages in them though!! So that's not much at all. It's annoying having to ask for more booklets every 10 minutes LOL.

I got up to the extendeds with aboout 1 hour and 20 mins to go. I took my sweet time with the first essay and I kinda ran through the second one. Could've finished much earlier but decided to go slow. Didnt get to check ALL the short answers =/

What about the maths question in the short answers?!?!? I always find the maths in retail ridiculously easy but this one was a bit weird..."turnover value"??

I think I got $160 for the 1st one, $70 for the second and 20 packets for the gum question. No idea whether its right or wrong...fingers crossed. What'd you guys get?

i had 6 booklets altogether
I wrote one booklet in my trial exam and got a band 6 response.

I don't see the need to ramble about things over and over the markers get bored.

I gave them a quality response. Hopefully xD

1 booklet each response 23 and 24.

Finished 20 minutes early and checked the multiple choice.

It was hard :/

I blitz the net version.
