Screwed up exam, completely different from the practice one VCAA had put out.
I was shocked that there was nothing on Kotter, Management Skills and Industrial Relations.
For the management function question I wrote POLC, but apparently that's wrong now so there's 8 marks gone.
Overall very frustrated.
You won't lose all 8 marks in for doing that. The KPI's in the next part needed to relate to the strategy used. I dont think you will lose 8/8. You will still get some. The thing is, with this exam, most q's was like 4-6 marks so doing one thing wrong it would be unfair to penalise you completely.
Also on a side note, if we want to keep the debate open about the management functions question then have a look at what this website suggests.

Study Design, which is what VCAA
should follow,
On completion of this unit the student should be able to discuss and analyse the context in which
large-scale organisations operate.
To achieve this outcome the student will draw on key knowledge and key skills outlined in area of
study 1.
Key knowledge
This knowledge includes
• the context which contributes to the unique nature of large-scale organisations;
• characteristics of large-scale organisations;
• variations in types of large-scale organisations, their objectives and related business strategies;
• typical
management functions in large-scale organisations, including
operations, finance, human
resources, marketing, and research and development;Source:
