yes, the only mcq question for topic 4 i can think of is time lags. Much more likely to come up in essays but even if policies do come up in short-answers it'll probably be a fat 5-6 marker. However, lots of questions they can test for topic 3 in mcq like causes/effects of economic...

Topic 3 is like multiple choice + short-answer heavy while topic 4 is normally essay-heavy although policies can sometimes come up in short-answer. To make informed decisions about policies, of course you would first need to learn the economic issues (topic 3) properly. So I advise you study...

liability refers to unearned revenue so +cash +liability (unearned revenue) perspective of tenant refers to prepayment so +assets (prepaid rent) -cash I think expense may refer to accrued expenses accrued expenses so + rent expense + rent payable although not too sure. Someone with more...

Impression marking is a thing for HSC since markers are probably paid for x amount of papers marked (cannot confirm) but something along those lines. For economics in particular, its probably good to read some economic/business-related news articles (as modern as possible), I recommend Ross...

Keep what you think you'll enjoy more. While VA scaling is pretty bad, it doesn't really matter if you do well. That being said, it might be better if you try to do well in maths (since you haven't considered dropping) rather than relying on VA (poor scaling even after band 6) or chemistry (much...

Most of the suggested answers are what you would call a fingertip band 6, so just reaching what is required to reach the top band of marks. They are generally short but concise so unless you are able to completely understand the nuances of the question, it would be better to write more in-depth...

I personally used other peoples notes for Economics + only doing past HSC questions and received a 92 external mark (91 overall) in 2020, so it seems very possible considering how you already received a 96 in Business Studies. While Business and Eco may seem to have similar levels of content (4...

Whilst first person is probably not the best idea, unlike in Modern/Ancient History, you want include your own voice which demonstrates your own opinion on historiography. For example if the question was on the purposes of history. I would argue that Bede uses history to spread Christianity...

Whilst I mentioned propaganda, I don't think it was important in the initial consolidation of power but rather in maintaining control (later part of the syllabus) so you were not meant to talk about terror, repression, censorship, propaganda etc.. However, The Reich Chamber of Culture/Ministry...

o looks like i got the decagon wrong

Ye the exam went really well, basically had the same questions for USA and Cold War for trials + they were predictable since Great Depression and Detente weren't tested last year. Power and Authority core was easier than last years as well imo.

For question 28a) I did 1- (1-0.815)^2 = 0.965775 Also got e for 29b) For question 21b) I did 70 x -0.4 x ln1.5 x 1.5^(0.4 x 4) = -5.93 Can anyone confirm these answers?

Booklet 2 threw me off quite a bit. Was not expecting the 5 mark cricket regression question (tragic). Somehow ended up getting (a+1)^4 as one of the integrals for 4 mark area between two curves question and I just stopped their. Second last question, I was a bit clueless, found the derivatives...

Strange system where our school offered preliminary business studies and IPT in year 9 and HSC in Year 10. Ngl most people didn't know we were doing HSC in Year 10 when we picked it up.

I'm betting on Great Depression for USA, surely because of our current context but also by the fact that none of the Great Depression were tested last year. For Cold War, I'm betting on detente but really it could be anything from containment to Afghanistan to disarmament agreements.
