well i had mine 2day. i worked out that i got 4 wrong from mpc! damnt....but neway i wrote alot for my ext responses...im not sure if it will get me the marks though.

my aim is has now lowered from 80-82%

 

[sando]

wasnt too hard to be honest..

but i will lose alot of my marks in the 2 long responses

so i will be pleased if i get over 75%..

i loved the exam! it was really simple IMO
only thing that threw me off was some of the multichoices and one of the short answers - one with the internal stakeholders =/

yeh that internal one was heaps stupid.. wat stakeholder did u choose ?

 

[sando]

I was hoping to go well...noway I will come first anymore.
The jacaranda textbook didnt have the positioning strategies in it...

Did you use the accounts receivable turnover for the efficiency ratio? I forgot how to work it out.

umm.. i dont think u did the CSSA trial.. there was nothin on the efficiency ratio in the exam

 

[Loz_metalhead]

Hmm...I think it was the CSSA...there was a balance sheet and it said to work out an efficiency ratio. Maybe that was on the section the teachers added.

 

[sandz_2]

yea i dont think i used the efficiency ratio either

 

[bananasmoothy]

If there was an efficiency ratio, then I completely missed that one.

Some of the M/C wording needed major reviewing.

 

[hopeles5ly]

i chose employee and just wrote bs for the describe ...
would have been much easier if it was external.

I did shareholders.

Hmm... I only just realised. Was the business a public company? Oh well...

 

[hopeles5ly]

I did shareholders.

i can't remember lolz. Did you write a lot for the second part of the Q?

 

[Loz_metalhead]

I said owners...less profitability due to bad publicity and legal costs...

 

[hopeles5ly]

I said owners...less profitability due to bad publicity and legal costs...

haha i wrote how it might result in the retrenching of employees due to legal costs.

 

[Loz_metalhead]

I cant believe the jacaranda textbook didnt have any positioning strategies...that question was worth 4 marks...and I got a ratio question wrong...so I have lost 6 marks already.

 

[bananasmoothy]

i can't remember lolz. Did you write a lot for the second part of the Q?

Yeah I did. I can't remember if I went off the lines much though...
Umm... something about share price dropping and shareholders not getting a return on their investment.
It was a work of art. But now I'm worried that it wasn't a public company.

I WAS about to do an external stakeholder, until I reread the question again.

 

[robbiek]

The trial today was heaps easy i think.. only things that were difficult were some of the multiple choice questions.. other than that i think 95%

 

[shinji]

i am seriously dead after doing business today ..

5 hours of exams.
2hr for english, 3 hours of business.

i don't think im gonna be keeping my 1st pla ce position any longer .. .

 

[B35tY]

Ooh tough break man my exams are all one per day


I thought it was ok, really happy with Q27, suited my knowledge perfectly.

Some of the MC were a bit... i dunno. Might be my fault, might be theirs. Can't tell.

Hopefully i'll get >85.
