thursday for me too


last year either my school did it early or some schools did it late, cause my friend did it a day after me and won $80..........$40 for me

 

[George W. Bush]

BTW: is there a yr11 and yr12 division, or the same comp?

 

[Sarah168]

same comp..i did it in yr 11 and i did the same paper as yr 12

 

[George W. Bush]

Yeah, it's the same paper, but I seem to think that there are seperate devisions?

 

[Kuya]

same paper... but what if you only paid for one?

you did some practice papers - its all year 11 material - but i assume theyd mark 12 and 11 students seperately

 

[kochou]

damn forgot to bring moeny for it today

 

[skypryn]

it's out of 30 for all students. you start with 10 pts, get one pt for each correct answer, zero pts for a blank answer and -1/4 pts for incorrect answer. usually yr 12 high d cutoff is around 42-43. dunno bout yr 11 high d cutoff probably around low 30's.

[Kuya]

its not the same paper for us. the economic one is this thurs and biz is next thurs.

 

[Seabiscuit]

I have to do it tomorrow. : Such a waste of $4..

 

[George W. Bush]

That $4 is an investment with a $80 return!

 

[Grey Council]

lol, how much that someone from my school tops both the competitions?

I dunno if we're in the business studies one, we ARE in the economics one.

I'll be sitting it tommorow, period 2.


ahah, without wings, i wanted to compete with you, but ah well. I s'pose your school thought that the fairer sex didn't stand a chance against the might of sbhs.
^_^
*makes no mention of sghs*

guh, alright then, someone from my school or the neighbouring school.
:-\

*cries* *cries* *cries*

 

[George W. Bush]

Study for eco comp? pfft
Yeah, I knew Wealth of Nations.

The Harry Potter question is crap, it's not clear if the movie is a substitute or a complement. I just assumed it would be complementary.

Q2 was quite bad as well, the 'Supply curves are derived from':
a) Demand curves (this is what I put, demand curves for factors determining supply of final)
b) production possibility curves (can make an argument for this too)
c) Phillip's curves
d) income elasticity curves

Other than that it was pretty easy.
