Went very well in everything else but 3 pages into my essay i forgot to refer to a case study (DONT ASK ME WHY i just blanked) was 15 minutes left, either restart and chuck the 3 pages or keep going.

i listed 6 external/internal influences with examples and explanation, guessing the lack of case study will really hit hard?

You may have been better of messing with your structure and inserting one, than leaving it our completely.

You won't do as well, but I don't think it will be a dramatic drop.

We were told by a HSC marker that if you don't put ina case study your mark is capped at 14/20 and that's if it is brilliant.

16-18 I'd say. Somewhere in that region.
My business studies teacher (hsc marker) said that no case studies means your capped at around 12.

But OP, when you say you used examples, does that mean you referred to businesses as examples? Ie. For example stating that woolworths moved to india to increase marketshare. Because that would count as using cased studies.

OP i did the same thing, I just read the question and it never even occured to my to use my case study, I was just expecting it to say something along the lines of "Use real-world examples to support your conclusions" or something like that :S

No case study is a cap of 14-15.
Cannot get into high Band 5 or Low 6

Most no case studies also lack the ability to CRITICALLY ANALYSE, so unless you were amazingly in-depth as a UNI student to relate all plausible modern implications, you're probably looking at about anywhere from a 9-13.

If no case study is referred to, then the mark is capped at 12, however if some reference is made you should expect 14-17

I only wrote 3 pages without conclusion because I run out of time. I think I talked about Qantas with a few sentences for each point i remembered (external changes and reasons for expansion) but did not write anything about their definitions, e.g. economies of scale is bla bla then refer to Qantas. In addition I think I I combined some external changes with reasons....this is what I can remember at the moment..OMG I forgot

So please can anyone tell me how much I can get on that
