Fools wrote Australian Stock Exchange! What idiots!
If I even get a mark off, I'm going to claim the question wasn't valid.

Yes I also noticed that, which again brings evidence to my point that this paper was probably written the night before it's "due date". I don't understand why BoS make things harder on themselves by offering outdated, obscure and badly-worded questions for students to answer.

That's what my teachers said, except with good grammar and spelling(or pronunciation, whatver). One of them says he would've written "Does not exist!"

Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down.....
That, from another man, seems disgusting
They coulda just wrote "ASX". Either way, same difference.
but that would seem 'unprofessional' and some(dumb) ppl wouldn't know what it is.
wow mods can edit our posts??

You, are infact, all wrong.

It is indeed foolish and dubiously obvious that it was not a mistake.

You must take into consideration the ability of an average Business student...

Thus, you may indeed gain an appreciation for the specific wording of the question.

Please do not raise such tedious topics in the foreseable future.

I agree. How many students are there that would not know what the Australian Securities Exchange is. They would be thinking “wtf”. For us, it may better since they will simply not get the marks. But ultimately, it would not affect me if these people get the marks as I will already be acheiving a state-placing.

No, it wasn't a mistake.

The syllabus says "Australian Stock Exchange". So they had to go by that.

Totally agree. There is no mistake as it is in the syllabus. I guess some are just saying that it should be identified as its proper name.
