PLEASE HELP I NEED CASE STUDIES FOR ANYTHING FOR BUSINESS TOMORROW

Ensure that you go through past VCAA exams and the case studies...I also recommend getting other exams from your teachers! I am sure your teacher has a pile of case studies for you and your class

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know where I can find any useful BM 3/4 resources for the new 2017 study design? So far I only really have checkpoints, A+ exams, TSSM's teach yourself series, and will soon be getting some TSFX notes. I'm still looking for anyone's recommendations for resources besides those I just listed which will be very useful for me next year.
Thanks :-)

Hi!

I did Business Management this year. The most important thing is that from the notes you have got, you modify and adapt them to create your own notes. These will prove much more useful rather than just reading over someone elses. I compiled mine from, TSFX lecture notes, Edrolo, my textbook, my teachers slideshows and the Teaching Bubble videos. The Teaching Bubble videos are similar to Edrolo and are from a current VCAA examiner - his revision and headstart lectures are also great.

In terms of questions throughout the year in preparation for SAC's use Checkpoints, but also ask your teacher for past SAC's, even if they are from the previous study design, some questions will still be applicable.

For practice exams towards the end of the year, your school should have some and feel free to start off with some ones from the previous study design. I would make sure you do all the applicable questions from past VCAA exams - even if you don't complete them make sure plan out a response in your head and know what the structure of your response will be. Company exams relevant to the new study design will also prove useful. I would also ensure that you do, this years BM exam and the Sample Exam by VCAA under full exam conditions. Make sure you get feedback from a teacher from these exams as they will be the closest thing you can find to the 2018 VCAA BM Exam.

Finally, if you haven't already, check out Jigsaw's Guide. It really does sum up the key points on how to achieve highly in Business Management.

Hi!
Much like Felix has already stated, the most essential part is combining all of the notes you have to create your own summary, as this will ensure you understand the content, and act as a form of revision that you may refer back to. I would also recommend Jigsaw’s Guide, as it outlines many key points of how to obtain a high score in BusMan.

I completed Business Management this year and used a variety of sources to formulate my own notes, including TSSM lectures, ATARNotes, Edrolo and Teaching Bubble. If you haven’t already checked it out, I would highly recommend the Teaching Bubble videos – especially if your school doesn’t have access to Edrolo. I watched these videos both prior to SACs and learning the content in class – ensuring that I had a basic understanding of the information before it was taught, and acting as a simple form of revision.

Another thing I would recommend is familiarising yourself with the task words – as this is often an area where marks are lost. Practice a multitude of questions for each task word prior to SAC’s and the exam – ensuring that you are able to quickly identify what the question is asking you under timed conditions. 

Finally, another tactic I found useful was creating visual aids – posters, tables etc. As Business Management has a high amount of content, this breaks the information down into a more simplistic and appealing format, and allowed me to retain the information much quicker than simply reading it. The sources that you already have for the subject should be more than adequate, it is really about what you do with the information, and how you go about applying yourself/creating your own notes that will influence your performance and understanding.
