multiple chice was esay, short answers wan't to bad

i didn't like business report, but Q28 was good

may have scaped a band 6

 

[rohan7]

did extended responses first, went ok i hope. short answers were alright, bit hard. didnt have time to finish multiple choice, did the first 8, guessed the rest. he said pens down and i scribbled the last 10 lol. fuck it, its over.

LOL the extended responses were a joke. Triple barrelled give me a break. The state average is not gonna be good for them to say the least.

bahahha daryl, "scraped" more like "aced by miles"


multiple choice WAS surprisingly easy!
short answers werent so great
i think i did okay in the business report, hopefully
completely bombed out in the essay though, even though the parts of the question werent too bad.

overall...

band 4 here i come!!!!

 

[Dreams]

multiple choice was done in 10 minutes with 90% right methinks

short answers were not very easy, i didn't study for the right things in order to answer them

extended responses were fucking ridiculous, i'd be lucky for a 10/20 for them

 

[jovceski123]

LETS JUST SAY IT WAS FUCKED UP!!!

i agree with u all the m/c was heaps easy, short answers were a bit hard, the business report was ok n the last question was FUCKED!!!

 

[brettlover]

Does anyone know where I can get the actual questions to see it now?

 

[the-derivative]

Overall I thought it was a fair exam.

Multiple Choice, I think 2 questions got me thinking quite a bit (I probably got them wrong), short answers was fair (although they did ask some things which were I wouldn't say hard, but not expected - well not by me anyway), report was fairly easy and the extended response was fairly straight forward although I would've liked to have seen a return to the double verb format.

Edit: Ayyahh, just realised I didn't emphasise enough on the Marketing Plan.

That's such a bad idea. You gave away an easy 10 marks. Always tackle the easiest marks first.

I guessed a few short answers. Went horribly on last question.

Multiple choice was easy. Hopefully 19/20
Short answers were alright, except the first one... Hopefully 35/40
Report wasn't too bad, didn't really like the differentiated part though... Mine was alil short (7 pages in small writing)... Hopefully 16/20 (unless I screwed up the differentiated part)
Extended Response question Q27 was terrible for a case study, and Q28 wasn't THAT bad... Wrote the finance bit first (I have no idea why), with some links, but not too many... Forgot one of the things (growth), and forgot names of most things in the research process (remembered what they were though). Hoping for 14/20, but idk...

 

[liquid-tension]

q27 omg... failed..
did anyone think it was werid they didn't ask us any finaicial ratios in the short answers?

Yes,

i was like 'where's the revenue statement?'

 

[sir-study-alot]

for extended 28 were objective of finaical market -
profitablity
return of capt.
liquidity
eff.
growth ?

 

[bench]

Imo was a badly set out test. Q27 made no sense whatsoever. How the heck do you link financial planning cycle with customer types? Sigh fail.

 

[Dreams]

yes sirstudyalot

 

[danieyo]

loll to extended response. that was a relatively challenging exam, i think trials were easier funnily enough.

 

[meilz92]

i actually found the short answers really difficult (not a good sign )

the first one, two aspects of an employment contract or whatever

i just wrote "sets out minimum wages/working conditions and working hours (ie. casual/permanent/part-time"

is that right?
i think i did about the same in short answers as i did in the CSSA trials..... 32/40

extended responses i probably got like 14/20 at the very MOST

mult choice, hopefully 18 or 19


does anybody know if they mark extended responses really easy, because everyone did shit?

you forgot solvency

 

[ayehann]

THAT WAS A WIERD TEST?! is it just me or was most of the short answers kind of general business knowledge?!
AHh had short answers + MC done in first hour... got one hour each extended / report
