my focus stuies were: consumers and family
i did A for Consumers....which i thought was a straight forward question, especially considering my consumers section is usually the one that i do the worst in
i then did B for Family, which was harder than it looked. and as a society and culture student, i thought it was very much like a statement we would be asked to evaluate in that subject.

but i think that i did better in consumers than family for once

I did Family and Workplace. I did (B) for both. I did well in Family but sucked in Workplace. I had no idea! :( I didn't like this exam at all.

Consumers: A
Family: A

Hmm fairly straight forward except a bit weird with the "include a discussion of.." It seemed like a silly add on as if the first part of the question wasn't sufficient?

My Focus Studies were Family and Workplace. I did question a) for each. I looked at b) for both and felt that a) would be a much better choice.

Family and Consumer, a for both. I didn't talk about financing a purchase enough for consumer and I think they were both fairly amorphous but I did a lot better than I expected to. I managed to make reference to a fair few topical issues so that was good.

Consumers and family i both did B... I would have liked to do A, but then they'd mention one bit to talk about that i was like... no thanks! normally theres one general and one more specific, they were pretty specificfor both this year... The bit for part B where it was groups in society, not just society was interesting...

*nods* they wanted you to evaluate the effectiveness.. but part a) doesnt have the same emphasis on "effectiveness" as part b).. if you didnt use the exact criteria but alluded to it you should be fine

Hey, fags. Guess what. I PICKED THE EXTENDED RESPONSE DO-DAAAS. Woot.

I did A) 'cause I'd prepared them both. I did Family and Workplace and murdered them both in cold blood.
