    Just memorise the syllabus dot points for business studies. And then just use common sense to make up the content.

    Psh, no. Doing accelerated eco does not make you top. But state ranking in year 11 does. So yes, you can be top.

    What does Maintaining Fiscal Balance mean?

    It means that the government needs to ensure they have fiscal surplus, by not spending all the money they have acquired (ie. drawing on savings). Instead they need to ensure that they invest the money/save it for future purposes (Sorry if I'm wrong, I kinda made it all up, but it makes sense...

    What does Maintaining Fiscal Balance mean?

    Fiscal balance is the money that the government gets from taxes and the assets they sell off, minus the money they spend. So maintaining fiscal balance means ensuring that the money they spend does not exceed the money the receive, or their fiscal balance is in deficit. If they receive more...

    Atar?

    Haha yeah its so ambiguous. I thought he meant 100 and something. But 200 or 300 could also be interpreted as 'low 100s'

    scaling for bio

    If yoou did well in trials and they were worth a lot, then that's good for you, might push your rank up. And your schoool is top 5, do you know how many normallly get band 6? Otherwise, its all about rankings...but maybe iff you do really well in the hsc you can still pull off a low band 6. Or...

    Science doesn't work like this though. If its a 5 mark question and you have 5 points, you won't get any more than 2-3 marks. At least with our school's screwed up marking schemes.

    Screwed trials.. Still decent atar?

    You know its true. Business studies>pe though. At least you coulld be beating a person whose name begins with a and ends with a. And I'm pretty sure low scaling subjectts are irreleevant for people aiming for 80s-low 90s.

    Its an economics thread you idiot. And I don't do eco, I do business studies, but by the same principle, generally a 5 mark question willl be 'explain' or 'analyse' so you generally only need to name 2-3 points (from the syllabus) and that will get you 2-3 marks and then the other marks are for...

    What do you do with your Reading Time?

    Haha I think he got neg repped too much. But anyway at the guy above who said hsc has stricter supervision, I've heard that people at our school last year spend like an extra 10 minutes writing essays cos the supervisors are dodgy and spend heaps of time collecting papers, so they just sit...

    Screwed trials.. Still decent atar?

    Dude there are like a million identical threads asking the exact same question. Anyway,the first thing you should do is ask around and see if everyone else found it hard, because its not your raw mark that matters, its your rank. So if everryone else ffound it hard chances are your rank won't...

    raw mark scaling.

    I don't think that's actually possible

    raw mark scaling.

    I think those atar calculator things floating around the internet can give you scaled marks if you put in raw hsc marks. Otherwise google 'uac scaling guide 2010'
