CSSA Business Discussion Thread!

[fantasticbeasts3]

since there's no thread for business... here i am!

how did you think it all went? was there anything you felt like you missed out on, or didn't revise enough? would you improve on anything for the hsc?

Papers were required to be held until today (Thursday 17th) so we can now chat about the questions and the approaches we took. However, please do not share copies of the exam or anything similar!

was there anything you felt like you missed out on

Giving two answers to multiple choice. Yes, Multiple Choice. Not answering multiple choice. Like I don't think I have ever done that in my life let alone in trials. Our last warning was seven minutes out and then our teacher just went 'pens down.' She was standing right next to me so there was nothing I could do. Watched her collect my paper with the writing 'think it's C' However, short answers were suited to what I had studied and I was happy with my report. Essay and MC will let me down though.

lol my school did the CSSA trial, but we've only touched up until the influences of Finance as our 4th topic. I don't know if you could even call it a CSSA paper after all the amendments our HSIE coordinator made . Most of the finance questions were replaced with yr11 stuff (i.e accounting formula) Nevertheless, the remaining bits of the exam was pretty fair and i certainly should have studied a bit more. Oh well. M/c was really confusing, you'd be certain one option was the answer, but as you scroll down you could've sworn that there were two answers.

Our exam booklet had about 7 or more pages, and i couldn't believe there were people asking for more!! wth?! and here i am 3 pages.

some of the multiple choice really got me, i'm kind of mad at myself for not looking at the syllabus just that bit longer... but what's done is done. glad to know you found most of the exam good :-) the short answers and business report for me were a little off from what i'd focused on, and the essay was alright, i was pretty happy with the question because i hadn't studied it too long ago!

i can definitely relate with your username, hahah. bit of a heads up - finance gets a lot worse, it's probably my least favourite and the driest topic of them all, if that's even a thing because business is drier than antarctica. yea for sure! the multiple choice was really confusing because there were some answers you were absolutely certain of and others were a 'wtf' moment. all exam booklets are the same for everyone who does cssa. asking for more booklets is usually a bit of a scare tactic by other students, so don't be too worried about that (there were a ton of spare booklets at the end!). what did you write 3 pages for?

what did you write 3 pages for?

i wrote 3 pages for both the essay and report. Now that i think about though, i have really small writing compared to most students and i do tend to write outside of the lines a lot. That could be culprit.

to be honest i thought the business report was reasonably fair.... although the last section of it i struggled a bit
i really didnt like the mc and the extended response and the short answers got me a little bit confused
