The subject is not difficult in terms of concepts like other subjects in the HSC, however, to do well you do have to do a fair bit of memorisation of the content, as well being able to apply it to the business situations provided. The exams are not hard as such because if you have thoroughly made notes on the syllabus and understood the concepts you should do fairly well. Multiple choice can sometimes be a bit tricky because sometimes it seems like there could be multiple answers to the question but with more practice papers you will be able to better judge those types of questions. There is a short answer section which consists usually of around 40 marks with maybe one
6 marker or 2. There are however two essays you have to write so if you are good at writing Essays this subject may favour you (in terms of essays I don’t mean the English one where you analyse techniques and stuff but just generally if you have a good grasp on vocabulary and such)
