Tips for 2011

[ben_ess12]

Find the best text book you can (for me it was Business Notes) and make summaries of every topic, making sure each area of the study design is covered in your notes. I did about 12 or 13 practice exams, which I self-marked or had my brother mark as he got a 43 in the subject in 2007. My teacher was useless all year, I effectively self-taught myself the course and got a 50. So Business Management is really not hard at all.

thanks for that..was that the A+ notes you used? and thanks for that if you basically self taught yourself and my school got i think it was like 15 people in the 40+ this year for it hopefully il do well

Yeah mate pretty sure it was A+ notes. I had quite a weak cohort too (class of about 20 kids), the majority of my class got below 30. So if you really have a crack you'll do very well.

Thanks so much for that I have got those notes so thanks for that well done your results and your course is the same thing I want to do as well :p

@ gs
thanks for that study design yeh?
what did you get this year?

Yeah that's the study design.

I got a 34, I didn't really focus on it that much (night before studying!) and I remember missing out on a couple of questions in the exam, that were included in the study design. I didn't go through every single dot point in the study design, rather do a few practice exams (trials-insight, etc). I've learnt that, for me anyway, it's better to know the study design inside & out before starting practice exams. Others might have different opinions though.

Ahh ok thanks for that mate I hope to no the study design before I start practising exams

thanks chelsea:) dont happen to follow them do you ;P

i have that i believe i want to do well, but i dont want school to become everything i spend doing over the next year... as i have a hetic swimming schedula (travelling 30mins to training up and back 8 times a week, VIS scholarship :S ) hopefully i can balance it all but it is also cause people say i cant do 2 3/4s and i dont see why not, learning experiance and if i can have all notes down, summaries and everything like that, i will just need to do the h/w (another question, did you guys just do all h/w set or did you just do what you felt neccessary?) and practice exams and sacs when time comes and of course learn the notes but thanks once again

Yeh its all about finding the balance. Im doing PE 3/4 this year and i know its a hard subject that requires time. For you, it is essential that you give both subjects adequate time. I did not get homework as such, the teacher felt it was most neccessarry for us to work on any areas we required, rather than being set uniformed tasks. As you say, find some time (doesn't take too long) to do your notes, then learn them, find practise exams and sacs and then there is no stopping you. It seems so distant but i did about 20 practice exams and don't regret it at all.
All the best

thanks chels
im gonna try and give both same amount of time, at least for the exam next yr, there is about a week between them. im gonna try and balance both equaly as posible and have to similar scores (hopefully around 40+ for both)
