You're a gem, Emma!

Congrats! I'd take it that it just means you have to complete the HSC. Though, let's not take our chances and study here and there at the very least. I hold the view that just like how different schools of different rankings can produce state rankers, different unis can still produce top...

For the lols, you could format your notes in a way that is easy for text-to-speech to understand. Then, lay in bed whilst listening to your notes lmao.

Personally, I didn't do Business Studies during my HSC. However, one of my close friends did. From what I could tell, he enjoyed Economics A LOT more lol. Though, he did find Business Studies easier than Economics.

I'd approach it with this: Separate paragraphs by different impacts; Eg economic growth, inflation, unemployment, exchange rate, etc. In each paragraph, Talk about expansionary and give an example time period; Talk about contractionary and give an example time period. Remember to add graphs...

Hey, let's start with taking care of yourself first. The baseline is just showing up to our classes. Don't worry about the extra studying afterwards. We'll work on that later. 1. Go to bed and wake up at the same time everyday. The funny thing about humans is that we actually like routine. And...

I think talking about all causes and then impacts vs cause 1/ impact 1 are both valid. I would probably lean more towards talking about all the causes first and then the impacts - It lets you really flesh out the causes and link them to recent events. It lets you really flesh out the impacts...

A big part of Topic 4 is macroeconomic and microeconomic policy. The cheat here is to add specific policies to each Economic Issue in Topic 3. In effect, you would have studied both topics coherently.

I like to think of essays as a game of brownie points. The more brownie points you collect throughout the essay, the higher the mark. The actual HSC past papers with answers should provide a list of things you could talk about ('suggested answers'). These make up the crux of your brownie points...
