haha really? what did you do you bad person?
Lots of things.

Back on topic. It is stupid to write a report for section 4- It really shows your inability to write an essay, which is pretty bad.

The HSC business studies marker at my school (External HSC marker) said always for section 4 write an essay, however it shows your inability to respond to the question.

After all it says a extended response not a report. This means that the markers are looking for a essay

Extended response is a long response....not a structure

I agree with Pow, when it says extended response it definitely refers to providing an essay.

This.

The Syllabus says Section 3 will always be a report whilte Section 4 will always be a extended response

And since the BOS describes as extended response as long answers (i.e. essays) it would be a esay

link to BOS definition of an extended response
On my phone so I will later

But thing about this. When you do other extended responses - in other subjects- do you write reports? No you don't

Ask examine. He will say the same thing I have, that section 4 should be a essay

our hsie coordinator said that section 3 must be a report, which is obvious, but section 4 it is recommended that it is written in report format, so all u do is answer it as an essay, but for each part of the question u just put it under a heading, and your intro becomes your exec summary

I have never heard a teacher say this.

Different teachers will have different opinions on the Section IV format. When they are marking in the HSC, they will probably allow both formats.
I went to a business lecture held by two of the authors of Business Focus, both recommended an "Essay with headings"

The teachers which recommend the extended response to be written in report, are doing so for the speds in the class because it simplifies what the amount of thought they need to put in, in order to get a "band 4/5".
