Studying tips for Business SACs
« on: August 28, 2012, 09:48:46 am »

As the year progresses, I've been getting worse in my BusMan SACs and I'm not really happy with where I am going.
I got 93/100 for U3 and 32/41 so far for U4. I have the Employee Relations SAC on next week and I would really like some tips on how I can do better.
I really want to get low 40s for BusMan but the way that I'm going, I don't think it will happen
:(

ps; Just asked my teacher and I'm not on the top, but I'm near the top in terms of ranking.

I too got 93/100 for Unit 3 SACs. And done pretty badly on my previous Unit 4 SAC (33/40) however I managed to get a decent mark for my Employee Relations (20/20). The only piece of advice I would give is to study hard for these next two sacs and aim to get 100% in each of them, and try and do really well on the upcoming exam.

Also your mark itself isn't what determines your score for your scores rather it's the ranking within your cohort, so if 32/41 was the top mark, then that's actually a really good score.

check out the BUSMAN notes section on atar notes. Lots of good info there. My study habbits suck. I never do any homework other than cramming mad hard the night before SACs. Oddly enough it works great everytime.

Maybe spamming past exams would be a good idea if you want to get 40's. Anyone can rememeber the content (most of which is common sense) but not many people can properly answer what each question is asking from you. Incidently, my school directly copy and pastes questions from past exams and puts them into the SAC to get everybody ready for the type of questions you can expect in the end-year exam.

1. Know your content back to front! Seriously..
2. Learn to analyse case studies and use your content to form a well constructed answer and APPLY it to the question. Very few can apply, they just regurgitate textbook answers and definitions.
3. Know how to structure answers (let me know if you need help with this)

Hey,
I know I'm not the OP, but could you maybe shed some light on how you structure your answers?
Our teacher is pretty clueless and recommends us to basically write dot points but without the "dots".
I've pretty much freestyled my answers all year and it seems to have worked very well for SACs, but I'm not feeling confident for the exam.

Cheers
