Congratulations on finishing Business Studies everyone! 🥳

For me Rodri winning the Ballon d'Or was a bit more surprising than Ten Hag's sacking, I think the latter was inevitable.

We know that volume data is designed to ensure that the system meets its requirements when processes are subjected to large volumes of data. 200000 users using the system simultaneously implies a large volume of data. We also know that volume data measures response time and this can be linked...

Yes, BoS meetups happen every year as long as there is enough interest. They're open to anyone from the BoS community, not just recent graduates. Keep an eye out for a BoS meetup thread after the HSC exams are over! :)

There is technically no issue with covering a concept that is outside the section(s) specified by a question, as long as this is done in addition to the essential, which is covering the section(s) that the question actually specifies. If priority is given to a concept(s) that is outside the...

(Continued). Good discussion of the content in this paragraph. Please ensure that you use clear language and accurate wording. I made some minor changes to the wording throughout the paragraph. Good incorporation of relevant case study material to support your point. Please avoid using...

2 days is less than ideal to prepare for the Business Studies HSC exam. However, some decent preparation can still be done. I would recommend the following approach: Learn the syllabus Revise the content using a concise set of notes Ensure that you know case study information that you can apply...

A big thank you once again to everyone who sat the Business Studies paper! I hope you guys picked up on some of the hidden references! 😜 This year, I marked Section II. Issues this year were mostly related to response depth, content accuracy and time management: Depth: Some responses lacked...

Additional information, such as the number of band 6's achieved at your school across your subjects would assist in improving the accuracy of estimates that you might receive. However, from this information, your current performance seems consistent with an ATAR in the high 80s range. More...

My understanding is that every effort is made by markers to read potentially illegible student responses. Markers will ignore illegible parts when they have determined that every effort was made to read them but failed, and they will focus on marking the legible parts. With that being said, it...
