As many as you need to get the content stuck in your head Fizzy! And then maybe a few more ;) I did over 20 for some of my subjects, and less than 5 for another one of them, so it totally depends :) I think 5 would be a good starting point! 5 Past Papers, plus study of the concepts along the way, would be a good baseline to try and meet (and then exceed) ;D again though, totally depends on the person ;D

Hello! I was wondering for a business essay are we allowed to use subheadings or is that considered unsophisticated?

Also I wanted to ask whats the main difference between a business report and essay? Is it just the fact that you cant write case studies in a business report? or a recommendations in an essay?

Hey Emerald! Unfortunately I can't comment on Business specifically, but subheadings wouldn't normally be considered appropriate for an essay (unless there is an exception for Business?) :)

From my perspective you can write section IV in one of two ways, a business report format or an essay.
I have seen a number of band 6 responses for both of these methods. The report format consists of headings and subheadings (much like section III of the exam), however, if you choose to write an essay i would advise against subheadings. It would  be better to choose the Business report format if you do not feel comfortable writing a cohesive and logical essay which can flow nicely.

Do we have to put case studies in the business report too? Or just for the essay?

uh for the business report i'm not 100% sure but i'd think you would not include the case study considering you got the stimulus

Nop, you don't want to write anything about case studies in the business report. If anything you might even lose marks because it's irrelevant since you want to talk about the hypothetical business and not Qantas or Apple. However, if say the stimulus for this years HSC is about a clothing retailer , I'm not too sure if you can include say industry averages you may have studied for your case studies.

As Kevin mentioned above, you should not talk about your case studies in section III (Business Report) at all!!!!!  :)
I would also avoid talking about industry averages unless it is specified in the stimulus aswell.
