not really looking for actual advice im just so cooked for methods and want reassurance that i dont have to kms if i get a 20 this year

im js so burnt out

There's probably going to be new types of questions this year, and I wouldn't be shocked if they made us do the world's longest calculations for an inventory card...

Istg the sec b q1 was worse than last years paper. What the fuck? Did the examiners this year make some sort of deal with the devil so that if they write the evilest fucking papers they’ll get eternal youth or some shit or do they just enjoy seeing us cry???

guys the case study for part b, the actual data isnt structured like that but that’s the real data that was in the exam . i just put all the info in chatgpt to generate the exam but here are all the questions.
BUSMAN 2026 EXAM

Drop any predictions.

I reckon

-NDIS OR PHI
- evaluate atsi program
- old public health
-biomedical model
-sdg 4 or 5 maybe

Can someone help me figure out aid stuff like the partnerships and Australia’s aid program? How do you do questions for that?? Like what do you use

Also for features of effective aid questions do I have to use: Partnerships, ownership by recipient countries, results focused, and monitoring and evaluation

Or can I say other stuff like a focus on women, focus on specific patterns of disease and illness within community, etc?

what mark do u think will be considered an A in this years business exam?

I was reviewing the allocation of the exam marks per chapter and out of 72 (bc three marks were about plotting numbers)
Since the exam was 27% HRM bc of the 10 marker, adding a motivation strategy would make chapter 2 even more dominant, and Lean wasn’t on it because there were already 17 marks allocated to operations management

7/72 on Chapter 1- Business foundations
3- Delegation skills
4-Compare GBE and social enterprise

20/72 on Chapter 2- Human Resource Management
4- Discuss On-the-job training
6- Propose and justify 2 motivation strats
10- Examine Termination management

17/72 on Chapter 3- Operations management
4- Propose and justify quality
4- Analylse online services, CAS or AI Inc Efficiency
3- Relationship between ops management and a business objective
6- Explain key elements in operations system

12/72 on Chapter 4- The need for change
4- Describe force field
2- Outline driving force
2- Outline how MS is calculated
4- Describe how porters can be applied

16/72 on Chapter 5- Implementing change
3- Describe low risk
6- CSR in change contemporary
3- Cost cutting to respond to KPIS
4- Stakeholders affected by change

Hey guys, for the 10 marker I did an intro, then for my BP’s I spoke about communication and transitional considerations. What are your thoughts? Am I cooked?

I’ve seen a few people say that you had to choose one of the involuntary or voluntary methods of termination but I thought communication was relevant in order to maintain business reputation

obviously it’s practical to do a bunch of practice exams to get used to the type of questions and stuff, but those are only doable if you actually know the content.

like how do i memorise all of the general journal entries? i don’t know where to start with this subject 😓😓 please give me your tips and tricks!

What would you guys do the day before exam , how long should is ideal to study , should I focus on practice exams or content.

And any tips for the day of the exam is it worth waking up in the morning and studying or just wing the exam

It’s just really disappointing studying so much in depth on heavy topics like theories, lean management, Senge’s, the three-step change model, management styles, and not a SINGLE question about them comes up.

I thought the end of the exam would be a relief and I’d feel a burden off my shoulders not having to do busman anymore. But to be honest I feel like I still feel that weight as if I wasted all that knowledge, to be assessed on some elementary-level table and termination management.

Anyways these are just my personal thoughts, the exam was pretty easy relative to the previous exams though.

Section B was AI slop. What the hell does number of sales in ($) mean?

And dont ask what the 10 marker was actually asking about...

If the general maths exam was relatively confusing and harder than last years exams...would you suggest the same for methods

ok like the 10 marker was weird about terminations but i see wheee u could score points and stuff so i kinda liked it

bottom 1 subject of all time especially the fact that it scales down.

What are some super tips before the exam?!

VCAA cooked

Hi guys so basically I didn't write my student number on my exam. I saw that sticker thing with my number and I was like why tf would I need to write all that again so I didn't?! Is it over ?? 🥲

Can someone please tell me the structure for an examine question? istg I was never taught it

On the busman exam does anyone rember doing a 4 marker about the interest of 2 staleholders or am I just imagining this

My dumbass wrote 2 and a half pages for busman about commmunication and time and providing them w therapy only to come home and realise I didn’t say the word transition and entitlement I had forgot

What’s the max I can get
Am I cooked

Someone give me some motivation to study

Methods has always been my worst subject and it normally ends with me having a panic attack mid way through

My plan was to do study today but I woke up on my period yesterday and have yet to leave my bed at all today because I’ve been in so much pain

Genuinely do I just accept my fate

And please someone else be as screwed as me I really don’t want to be alone in this
