Break up of paper:
Part A - 40% of marks - Based on year 11 work and Dynamic Nature of
                        Business
Part B - 60% of marks - 3 Essays (Each 20 marks) - Based on year 12
                        Electives (and supplementary material!)

Break up of the meaning of marks:
Mark:  Comment:
 A     Detailed analysis with sufficent examples (use of terms)
 B     Good description with some examples
 C     Answered the question (60% of students don't!)
 D     Answers question unsatisfactorily
 E     Fails to attempt question properly

These marks will not be seen by students but are how the HSC markers
work out an essays value.

Break up of an questions worth:
Part A - Worth the least but still important to answer
Part B - Worth the most, and therefore should be given extra time
         to answer
Part C - Same as B, so equal time should be given for B and C
Part D - If a part D does exist, it is usually worth equal or
         slightly less than B/C

QUESTION 7 OF LAST YEARS PAPERS WAS THE WORST ANSWERED QUESTION,
A VARIATION OF THAT QUESTION WILL EXIST IN THE '94 PAPER. 30% OF
STUDENTS GOT THIS RIGHT! (Q7 - Multiple Choice)

If you don't know a term/question look it up or ask your teacher
AND write it down!

'....Business Studies students are supposed to answer like Business
studies students.'

While the previous sentence may not make much sense to you, it means
this, Business Studies papers are meant to be answered in Business
forms of writing, not english essay form, or an other subjects way
of writing.

Report style writing is highly recommended when answering essays!
This is NOT the same as English essay styles of writing. A report
style document consists of an introduction, points below fully
explained and supported, and a concluding paragraph; graphs are
also an intregal part of a report style document, but DONT try
to make a graph it is not necessary.

In report style writing if necessary use tables, graphs, diagrams,
underlining, headings, and highlighting.

When answering a question, IF it FULLY answers the question beyond
doubt THEN do any style of answer you wish, even if a diagram is
your whole answer. In thise case words are NOT needed. Other ideas
include a time line, graph or chart.

But MOST IMPORTANTLY - PLAN FOR ALL POSSIBILITIES!!
