Oh dear...I thought there was no such thing as protectionism as it seemed to easy

Oh well...What other multiple choice answers does anyone know?

the efficency was 1.5%

 

[Zippora]

YOUR RIGHT.. i read that at 3am this morning.. i had one hour sleep studying for this stupid exam..and im gutted!

i left out the 6 marker..and the 2 marker above it... even tho i sed the answer to myself 5 times over..but didn write it down ... im filthy about that...

and also.. the question with distribution channell.. wasn't that selective or intensive or exclusive?:S

and another thing.. the one about the sports store moving overseas or sumtn

was the question price 'strategy' or price 'method'???

i know im right haha

no.. that is tricky because intensive selective exclusive are "channel choices", yet the distribution channels (what was asked for) are the three pathways

im not sure about the sports question but im pretty sure it was strategy

 

[Dopper]

the efficency was 1.5%

About time I got one right!

Anything else?

 

[cHoWiiE!]

you know that question about flat management and team structures in the multiple choice ? forgot the exact question, but was the answer new organisational behavioural?

yep

 

[cHoWiiE!]

i know im right haha

no.. that is tricky because intensive selective exclusive are "channel choices", yet the distribution channels (what was asked for) are the three pathways

im not sure about the sports question but im pretty sure it was strategy

AHHHH well thats one mark lost..and im hoping your right about the strategy!..me and my mate have had an argument since 1pm about it (trivial)

but he thinks its method...and im adament its strategy!

 

[cHoWiiE!]

Short answers is where I fell down a bit but should still get 25-30 for that section. Multiple choice was fairly easy and I wrote 4 pages for Section 3 and 5 pages for Section 4, so I'm pretty happy with that.

Looking to get in the 70%'s and I reckon I'll make that.

i went shiet in short answers..ahhhh... stupid qs 24!

it was ok.. the marketing plan in question 27 was a bit of a shock.. but i did ok i think.. multiple choice was ok..

just glad its over!!

 

[freaksoutalot]

im accelerated, i loved it thought it was a pretty good test, nothing shocked me.

i wrtoe it like that aswell, lol do you think i will still gte full marks

yeah i got that as well was like WTF, glad not the only one

 

[redsfan91]

Its gotta be George D. Ur nicknames of reds is a dead give away. How much u write for the long responses?. I wrote like 4 which was shithole for question Q26 and i did Q27 with 6 pages. I heard the freaks did like 7-8 pages which is so bullshit. MC and Short-answers were so easy haha

srsly r u dropkick david or jono
bro i wrote bout 7 pages for the business report and 4 for the other

 

[Zippora]

it was ok.. the marketing plan in question 27 was a bit of a shock.. but i did ok i think.. multiple choice was ok..

just glad its over!!

haha i panicked because i didnt think i had written about everything in the elements of the marketing plan so i added in a section about market research??? weirdd.. oh well at least i put everything in.. can you lose marks for adding extra?

 

[cortese14]

you guys are crazy! lol it was horrible!

 

[Zippora]

This is a similar scenario to someone, who answers 2 different answers for one question in hope that one would be correct. They usually take the first answer, but in your case, market research technically imo part of the marketing plan and necessary, though i don't think you would differentiate yourself from others who followed only a marketing plan. The main problem in the HSC is that students are constantly regurgitating information and not answering the question.

well it wasnt really like that because i actually thought it was one of the steps. i did answer the question, didnt regurgitate information.

AHHHH well thats one mark lost..and im hoping your right about the strategy!..me and my mate have had an argument since 1pm about it (trivial)

but he thinks its method...and im adament its strategy!

method. look at the syllabus.

 

[jonaxiang]

srsly r u dropkick david or jono
bro i wrote bout 7 pages for the business report and 4 for the other

It's Jono...God i hope my rank doesn't get shitter cause of the result of this exam. I reckon i wasted too much time on Short Answers... Quoc Ngyuen said he wrote 1 & 1/2 pages for the business report lolzers!

 

[Zippora]

method. look at the syllabus.

there are pricing methods and pricing strategies in the syllabus, im quite sure that the question referred to strategies

 

[jonaxiang]

the efficency was 1.5%

Was that in the Financial Planning Sections where u had to make calculations? you got 1.5% from using the Expenses ratio right... expenses/sales?...I can't remember haha

 

[Paj20]

Since psychological pricing is not in the syllabus, would that fit into the strategies category?

what was the q again.

 

[Zippora]

Since psychological pricing is not in the syllabus, would that fit into the strategies category?

if its not in the syllabus it wouldnt fit in anywhere

 

[BoyNextDoor]

yeah that should be fine

Oh ok, that's good then.
Thanks.
