I had to pick both economics and Business Studies next year, can anyone tell me their experience inregards to both economics and business studies? I am currently doing commerce, and some parts of it are dead boring. I am doing really well in commerce but i just find it extremly boring (parts of the syllbus). Is business studies and economics very much the same??

thanks

all of it..

you have to know case studies, you need formulas, and the questions are weird [in particular the multiple choice ones]

there are:
20 marks, multiple choice
40 marks, short answers
20 marks, essay
20 marks, business report

but if you want to study business latter on you will probably find it interesting

I did have a look at both textbooks, they both seem interesting enough. But thats what i though when i looked at the commerce textbook. Or maybe it's the teacher?? I mean we do sheets all day.

i agree. business is fun
business is a nice break. lots of content, but i find it all relatively easy. youll find (or i did anyhow) that business is intricate and all you need to do is state some key words and you are set. economic is general but you have to be specific. sort of a parody.
i do both and love both. hope you will too

its kinda fun.. only down side is the massive amount of content to which you need to all committ to memoirs.

Eco is heaps better man, cause there is actually logic and structure so you dont so much memorise stuff you actually learn it.

business is ok.. easiest subject just write notes and memorise but the case studies are gay.. economics is heaps more interesting and you have to analyse and link lots of stuff together which is cool haha.. yeah i rekon biz and eco beats the sciences anyday.. its way easier (for me newaiis)
