Title: Re: Business Management Competition
Post by: costargh on May 07, 2008, 08:16:30 pm: It's one of those nationwide competitions, 40 multi-choice questions, conducted by one of those Sydney Universities I think...

The Economics one was WAY harder than the BusMan one.
Some of the stuff isn't related to the VCE course though, its more general business knowledge.

Title: Re: Business Studies Competition
Post by: costargh on August 25, 2008, 08:24:26 pm: Hey reviving the thread.
I was told today by the HoF of Commerce to keep the 29th of September free (Monday night) and when I asked why she just smiled and said I would find out. I sort of thought maybe it had something to do with this and then I asked my accounting teacher and told me not to tell anyone but apparently I was the state winner for Business Studies in Victoria and I win $250 or something and some certificate/trophy and there is a presentation night.

If it's true then I am really happy :)
