Circled casual then crossed it out. Thought 66 year old was more expensive due to inefficiencies and needs for benefits.

Pregnancy one was so bait I fell for it. I circled EEO but it's Sex Discrimination.

Did you guys do economic influence or sociocultural? It seems like Socio-cultural because of social class but im pre sure its economic because he literally doesn't have the money to buy more expensive goods.

very easy exam, section 3 was trickiest for me, fortunately I do consumer law as my option for Legal Studies - so I owned section 4 LOL.

and never heard of unit trust until last night, decided it would be a nice idea to read an entire Cambridge textbook yesterday and i guess it paid off.

it was definitely economic. i hate business studies "distract" options - because they're almost always right, it's just the "more correct" one - which is bullshit imo

looking through my notes now - and my teacher had us combine them to socio-economic lolol. Seen that in different texts too. but definately went with economic since it only mentioned their ability to spend. or whatever it said.

A state ranker on a competing forum put economic for his answer too.

Honestly, even though I ranked 1 internally, I'm not expecting anything above 85 raw. Don't want to overshoot and kms when I get my marks back.

Same I ranked 1 internally too, but im pretty sure you got at least 90 raw lol, they want to give you marks when they mark, they're not stingy like school, can confirm by multiple hsc markers that this is true

I'm from a pretty shitty ranked school and my business teacher left to (maybe unironically) start her own business half way through the year. we basically taught eachother lol

just checked what the state ranker got for MCQ - I thought I got 15/20, looks like I got 17/20. And where I did lose marks I thought I had them right in the exam!!! fml
