what do you recommend as a study plan for 5 days out from the exam, 3 days and day before? When should I stop doing practice exams? thanks!

5 days out: revise over the course intensively, keep doing practice exams and look at any errors you are making
3 days out: keep revising your notes, pick out tricky questions from practice exams, dot point some 10mark questions
Day before: Don't do any practice exams as this might stress you out unnecessarily! Just study your notes thoroughly and review any mistakes that you've made in previous practice exams

Hey man thanks for answering these questions, helps everyone!

my questions are:

1. if there is a case study with an organisation, do you ONLY need to refer to that particular organisation?

2. should organisations that we've studied throughout this year  only be used in specific marks questions? for example >4?

No worries, glad to help out!
1. Yes, one of the biggest nuances in BusMan is incorporating the case study into your answer. If it provides a case study, only draw your examples from what is given.
2. It's always good to give examples, regardless of the marks. While you don't necessarily have to give examples for a 2-3 mark question, I always added them in to further prove to the assessor that I really understood what the question is asking!

In the last few days before the exam, I tried to not do more than 4hours of study a day so that I had sufficient time to rest. Try not to study excessively at the last minute and have some relaxation time where you are not thinking about Busman! Just remember that you can't do any more than your best :)

Thanks for the advice, it is really helpful.
How did you actually attempt your exam? Did you start with the hardest question(e.g 10 marker) or did you tackle other 6 markers and leave the 10 marker until the very end.
And did you ever feel the pressure to succeed seeing that this was your only 3/4 subject?

On my exam, there were 4 questions, so I completed the first question then moved to the 10 marker then went back and did the rest. I couldn't bear the thought of leaving the 10 mark to the end and run the risk of running out of time. At the same time, I think it's good to 'warm up' with a few short questions before you move on to the harder ones.

YES! I definitely felt the pressure but I guess it was more a motivator to do well, rather than a hindrance.

Hi Emmie,
I'm currently in year 11 and just wanted to know how I can prepare for business management over the coming holidays. I am also aiming to get a score like yours.

If you get a question that says 'compare' between x and x and is presumably worth four marks, should you be doing 1 similarity and 1 difference between the two and explaining the difference between the two, or should you just be starting 2 similarities and 2 differences?

e.g. Compare Herzberg and Maslow?

Hey, do you think it is okay to use abbreviations such as Org. and Man. and am I allowed to use + instead of and? (Speed sake)

My teacher told me that it is not a good idea to abbreviate. He says it is informal. But i guess it is up to you.

my last exam to make or break my atar.... considering my im aiming for an 80 atar
(non asian+ not the smartest  :-[)

anyways,

i think im 193/200 in sacs, probably ranked about 8/80 students

aiming for 100% on the exam
do you think a 50 is achievable? i sort of figured that the highest i could possibly achieve is around 45-46 if the top 7 are ahead

1. Being Asian has nothing to do with anything, i'm not Asian either.
2. It is also about handwork, and from what i've seen at least your a good at business management.

I didn't actually do anything over the summer holidays :) just relax, don't worry about it until you start school, but start working very hard when you hit the new school year! If you can't do that, try and read over your text book but don't start doing questions just yet.
