Re: Not hard?

I didn't like the multiple choice...:S

appreciating Australian dollar, as this would make imports cheaper because Australian dollar is so dominant

Re: Not hard?

Nah as long as you mentioned receivables strategies then you're good man!
Hope so, I wrote offer discounts and reduce the time for payment and check the credit worthiness of potential customers.

Re: Not hard?

Went very well in everything else but 3 pages into my essay i forgot to refer to a case study (DONT ASK ME WHY i just blanked) was 15 minutes left, either restart and chuck the 3 pages or keep going.

i listed 6 external/internal influences with examples and explanation, guessing the lack of case study will really hit hard?

Re: Not hard?

F*ck that exam raped me hard....

Short response ratio question 2 marks
Find the gross profit

If you wrote the ratio right but got the answer wrong do you still get 1 mark?

Also i wrote 3 pages for 26 and 4 for 27 how screwed am i?

The paper is designed to take you 3 hours. It took me about 2 hrs, 50 mins to do. You did yours in 2 hours? Hmm, don't expect to get an excellent mark then...

Im burning at the moment about this haha, so i wont get marked down to harshly? i talked about external and internal influences, gave scenarios (examples) and a explanation for each, i did about 6, just no case study at all.

I feel better now lool.

Well, To be honest. Your mark is going to be capped. So there is no way you can get 20/20 but that said you would still be able to achieve marks up to Id say about 16 or 17/20 at a max.

Don't feel bad, it is over now, we all did our best and thats that.

Re: Not hard?

for section 3

I added at the end how because these are "new procedures" it may be perceived as a threat because they were under their hierarchical structure.
Was this a valid point?
