All up i didn't find it too hard. Honestly, the only really difficult part was the edited questions that my school decided to put in

As for the extended responses.. Business report was a godsend due to it being so straight forward and generally easy, ended up writing 12 pages. As for the extended response, i went with 27 due to me knowing marketing a little better, i feel that i did alright on that though the fact that it was asking me to draw on knowledge from "strategic role" was a little out of my comfort zone

The CSSA questions was a choice between legal regulation's impact on the human resource processes and explain how the strategic role of marking impacts the marketing strategies used by businesses.

I expected it to be a lot harder - I finished the SA questions + MC within 35 min, which left 2.5 hours to do the extended response and business report so I was able to provide a lot of detail in the BR and case studies in ER.

MC was pretty fked, that LIFO FIFO question wtf. Other than that everything else was pretty easy :D. Strategic role of marketing is basically translating the goal of profit maximisation into reality in disguise, so in other words achieving profitability

I always seem to do well in the MC and Short Answer questions for Business and I expect it to be the same case this time around. Operations, Marketing, Finance & HR were all easy. However though I was quite confused on the essays. I expect to pass, around high 60's mid 70's which is pretty bad for most, but generally good for me in Business.

And I recommended both LIFO & FIFO. I have no idea if you can recommend two, but I did FIFO mainly due to technology is changing and therefore the mobile phones that they are going to sell could be outdated if they hold onto the stock. Not sure if correct though?
