Yeah read as many different resources as you can, but don't regurgitate your answers, you need to develop an understanding of the concepts rather than a raw materialised one.

not necessarily.. considering the study design is 2 years old (this will be the second year), understanding the course in detail is recommended in order to obtain a great score. Whilst I agree that exams are a must, you still should understand the course before you attempt these questions otherwise you are wasting your time (by not knowing what you're doing).

you'll learn from doing exams. at this point there isn't time to read a book that is only moderately helpful 10 times. spam exams, write down your mistakes and read over them.


edit: but you are correct. in an ideal situation you would know the course pretty thoroughly by now.

I do not recommend the A+ notes because they are very vague in terms of information quality. You should try to look at the Barrile Business Management textbook and do practice exams.Usually the best answers selected in the examination reports , are based on Barille's BM textbook.  The A+ Practice Exams are not that really good, with many irrelevant questions and lack of structure for the new marking system. In addition, refer to textbook or the 2010 VCCA reports for most answers, as I have seen  a lot of publications, that lack of detail, structure, and unclear answers. StudyOn is one of the best tools, I have used so far, as it has a range of questions related to the current design both. They select questions from past exams from the old design, that still relevant to the current study design. I also recommend Checkpoints has excellent case studies, however, its seems the book is very thin and contains little content.
Most importantly,  focus your weaknesses through practice exams, questions and do it under time conditions.
Tips:
Learn how to tackle it, such as underlining key words Such as define, evaluate, discuss, etc
Be Confident with your answers, start from the easy questions to the hard ones, as it builds false sense of security and confidence
Drink a lot of water, when learning, so fluids can transport through your brain.
Be an effective learn
