    Post Trials / Current Trials discussion thread for Business Studies

    My school did the CSSA paper, I personally found it on the easier end, but there were definitely some nasty questions. The question on the role of ASIC as an industry regulator (forgot the number) was specifically quite a nasty one. If you didn't do economics or know anything about the banking...

    Is it possible to score a band 6 with Standard Mathematics?

    I am currently doing HSC General 2 at the moment, dropped from 2 unit at the end of year 11 which I was failing anyway, before then I was in 5.3 mathematics course, etc etc. Have a sibling who got band 6 in it last year. The new syllabus doesn't appear to have too much added onto it, so much of...
