What are your bets for extended responses, what topic/question do you reckon BOS will ask to evaluate/examine?

Place your bets, i wanna get some ideas what they might ask

 

[Newbie]

after business studies's essays
all bets are off

 

[Damien]

Exchange rates

 

[Newbie]

i dread that

 

[Minai]

I agree, watch for exchange rates, either as essay or short answer

 

[LaZy_KoReAn]

Yeah all those hard stuff exchange rates, inflation etc.. etc.. i'm looking forward to (but damn hard)

what happened in business studies?

 

[Nupil]

Basically the trend for the past two years has been to have a global focus in the last section of the Business Studies paper ... however this year they tied the global question into the second last section ... basically something we knew was bound to happen; we just didn't want it to start with us!

I go with exchange rates as well considering it's gone from lows last year to 6 year highs ... it was something that was even a concern when they were writing up the exam paper. I also imagine a FP question, I can't explain why ... even if it's been in the past papers - I just think it might be in there ... though then again maybe not Lets hope not!

Monetary policy? Since rates have gone up...

 

[Nick]

the test was written sometime last year/early this year.. so i dont the recent change in the target cash rate will influence what questions we get..

 

[2late]

But apparently monetary policy hasn't been specifically tested??

 

[Nick]

who knows.. they mite ask about it then?

still, no matter wat they ask abt in Eco, u kno ull just end up saying the same stuff.. if they ask abt Monetary policy, ur still gonna have to tlk abt growht, inflation, unemployment, the dollar, external stability, fiscal policy, microeconomic policies, etc etc..

its all interchangeable..

 

[Newbie]

now that i dug up some handouts for ESD
i want ESD!!

 

[Nick]

a whole essay on it??

ud be pushing for stuff to say i think..

 

[Newbie]

havent read the handouts yet but there were like 10 pages or something
assuming half is crap
thats still 5 pages

 

[sukiyaki]

esd?

 

[numg]

ud be pushing for stuff to say i think..

ESD = Ecologically Sustainable Development

 

[dirty dave]

an essay on esd? i doubt it. probably just a short question on it i think

 

[sugamama]

an essay on... INCOME DISTRIBUTION!

I think its viable!

I'm just saying this because I prep'd an income essay for trial and didn't get it. SO pissed off.

DANDY!

 

[pearla]

but really there is sooooooooooo little to talk about on ESD. like, a page of information. i dont think it could ever stand by itself as a essay q worth 20 marks. Itd be euither a short answer q or part of a globalisation q.
