Predictions for the Business Studies HSC exam? (1 Viewer)

We are 200% getting a finance essay. Last time finance was tested (according to my hsc marker teacher), NESA wasn't happy because the split of what students picked was not even. So I'll guess they'll pair it with human resources (since marketing and operations are generally more well liked). I think they're both going to be tough questions so that there's a more even split too.

Oh kms I’m gonna end up rinsing HR anyday boring but easier

Honestly I'll be happy with a 80, I've never gotten above 69% since year 11. But I blame the markers.

oh hell nah HR and finance combo

idk why everyone hates finance, its like the only topic thats actually interesting

Operations and marketing are so easy, dont even need to study. You can also just make up case studies on the spot for HR, operations and marketing. Finance is also not hard. HR though is so annoying and boring.

 

[K2Trappy]

never ever gonna write a finance exam

finance>HR evrday week month year situation scenario

 

[K2Trappy]

i have a bad feeling for this exam lets just pray internals carry me

 

[shushhhhhhhhh]

finance>HR evrday week month year situation scenario

correct

 

[shushhhhhhhhh]

ops>finance>marketing>hr

 

[bruhmoment.]

ops>finance>marketing>hr

never knew someone hates business that much that they even prefer their 'ops' over it.

So I'm predicting:

Essay-
Finance: This is because finance was there for the report for the last 3 years in a row
HR: This might not be accurate but HR was in report last year so this year it might be an option for the essay.

Report-
Operation: This is because operations has been as an option for essay since last 2 years so I think it'll be there for report this time.
Marketing: Similarly, this might not be accurate but marketing was an option in the essay last year, so this year it might be there for report.

do u think they can give us a question on just stakeholders for human resource?

Last time they did a finance essay (2019) they paired it with HR. If they didn't like the split I wonder if they'll do Ops/Finance or Marketing/Finance. Also to be fair there's every chance that NESA realises we're thinking this and puts finance in the business report just to trick us.

im so bad with using case studies, is it best to make them up on the spot and if yes how?

You can try to but it has to be realistic

 

[aqwerty13402]

its not difficult at all. You just need to link all of your points to a number, and CONTEXTUALISE THEM. The following case study I wrote in a practice paper and it was entirely fabricated:

probably not a great example but you get the jist.

Anyone can make up a number of profitability, staff turnover etc. but its the depth at which you contextualise that will make the marker think 'this guy knows what he's talking about'.
