BM IS TOO HARD :(

[Najaf]

I'm failing Busman reeeal badly and it's embarrassing because its such an "easy" subject.
It's actually really, really hard.

I got a C and D on my first 2 SACs respectively, which is infuriating because I studied so friggin' much.

Can I still get a 50?

Wait, do you think BM is too hard or are you still aiming for a 50?

You can't have both afaik...

I don't think BM is too hard, it's just how you interpret the question and your flow of writing that matters. Those who are able to articulate their thoughts and construct well flowing sentences, whilst touching on key concepts during the exam are  in an advantageous position. Whereas those who struggle at expression may find it harder.
If you're putting in the study, I suggest you focus more understanding the concepts, then focus on interpreting the question, and addressing it using the required knowledge.
Once you've reached the stage where you feel like your knowledge of the content is sufficient, you may want to start thinking about how you may apply certain concepts (very key in the exam, application is tested a lot, rather than definitions).

Ok I need change that to a 40. Bad typo (50 is impossible for me)
I'm finding the subject hard, but I want a good score. There are no tutors or anything for it though....

I just can't get my head around the concepts of things like the matrix structure, even after solid revision of it.

So true.

BM is only hard because of the language behind it.

Theory is pretty easy, but the way you structure your answer is definitely what separates everyone at the end of the.

When I cram for my SAC's, I'm always revising on how to write a free-flowing answer.

Yup.. what others have said!

B.M is basic concepts and pretty much common sense.. however and let me stress this out you have to read the question! Read it at least 2-3 times before attempting anything. I lost 6 marks for a SAC which I done simply because I didn't read the question properly.. in an exam you will have to understand what each question is telling you.. is it telling you to define, describe, explain, etc! Make sure to keep your answers, notes and definitions as simple as you can there is a lot of redundant material out there in the textbooks you have to follow the study design and keep things direct and to the point, this is what teachers like. 

Also don't stress out for your SACs. You have plenty of other B.M SACS which you can redeem yourself in, and also the exam which is the mac-daddy of the B.M SS score.

How did your cohort go in the SACs? Are they getting the same scores as you or higher? Your SACs might be harder than other schools and therefore could explain the low score.

I agree with what others have posted, the concepts are very easy
But knowing how to read and answer questions properly is difficult
I find most the marks i drop are becuase i didn't read the question properly

To summarise what others have said, don't give up, because working on structuring your answers in the required way will only lead to better results.

Also, I don't think that any subjects are easy in isolation. In relative terms, perhaps, but it does require a lot of work. Good luck and I'm sure that you'll be fine!

Exams is what matters most in the end. Aim to demolish it, and you will get a good score. Also your scores don't mean anything, remember that, it's your rank which matters. So climb the rankings.. and try your best. Focus on giving it a 100% instead of focusing a particular score, that's just a waste of time IMO.
