My teacher has suggested that it doesn't matter if you use real or hypothetical case studies as long as you can demonstrate how it connects to the theory. I find it easier to use real case studies as it can be hard to make up your own

There are a few business case studies designed specifically around the Business Studies syllabus that you can get. The major one is Qantas (http://businesscasestudy.com.au/) and I have seen one for Ikea.
This is a link for an Apple case study: https://tablo.io/christanphotography/everything-business-studies
Hope this helps!  ;D

Hi, have you written any studies notes so far?
If you have I find summarising those notes into flashcards helpful as these are easy to read and quickly go over.
I also find it helpful to link my case studies into the notes.
For example, for Liquidity I would have a quick definition of what it is, how it is measured and what strategies can be used to improve it. Then on the same card or on another card I would write what Qantas's liquidity ratio is and then list the strategies they use to improve their liquidity.
If you haven't written any notes I would suggest looking at the notes section on ATAR Notes and use some of those notes to make summaries.
Practice HSC questions are REALLY helpful!! You could do a practice paper and then mark it. This will give you an idea of what content you are confident with and what areas you may need to focus on. I would suggest you make flashcards of key things to remember that you may have gotten wrong.
And I find that reading through study notes before going to sleep a useful way to remember them, but this might not work for everyone.
This is basically how study the week or a few days before a business studies exam.
Hope this helps!  ;D

Hi, so the expense ratio is a way of measuring efficiency, which is one of the financial objectives, and it helps the business to see if it's costs are too high. This link might be helpful https://aishscbusinessstudies.wikispaces.com/file/view/Efficiency+Ratios.pdf
And finance is quite a hard topic for most people but the best way to improve is probably to doing practice questions

Hey there, do you need to get to the notes section?? You can super easily get there by going up to the top of the page and hovering over the notes section and clicking on HSC notes - then search for business studies. You'll see heaaapsss of FREE notes here not just for business but for a range of other subjects like English, Economics, History etc. If you had some time, it would be awesome if you could upload any notes or anything you have donee!!!

Lemme know if you need help navigating anywhere else :)
