Mine wasn't particularly hard but we did not get enough time. I didn't get to finish the writting thing, I only had 4 pages and I didn't get to do any recommendations and the conclusion :(!

marks dont matter, its ur rank which matters, if it was a hard exam, then bos will compensate for that when scaling ur marks for the hsc
how does BOS know its hard and not a shithouse year ?

My Business Studies Exam was 2 weeks ago
It was only on the first two topics
20 Multiple Choice
4 Short Answers
1 Long Response
2 Hours

The long response was terrible! It had like three questions packed into one, and I had over an hour to do it, wrote eleven pages, and still didn't really finish. Toward the end, I was listing so many things, and was so brief with all my explanations...I'm a little worried. But I asked around, and everyone else seemed to have a similar problems so yeah...hopefully my results will still be good.

we had only 20 multiple choice, 1 long response (report)

but the short answers went for ages, they ALL reffered to case scenarios and thats where I fell down, a few people that got 70%~ and even though i got only 50%, i beat them in the multiple choice and long response, i guess i gotta work on my short answers

Ours was 20 multiple choice... a few short answers and a long response where you could pick one of two questions. Not a bad exam overall. I got 62 out of 70 (89%, which annoys me)
