Hi! If anyone got a high score in business and would be willing to share what structure/formula they used for every command term, I'd be grateful! The way we sometimes need to define but sometimes can go straight to the point confuses me so I'm wanting clarity. Thanks!
VCE Business command terms
scored a raw 39… hope that gives me credibility

2 marks for two similarities and 2 marks for two differences
1 mark for one similarity and 3 marks for three differences
1 mark for one difference and 3 marks for three differences

1 mark for defining the first concept
1 mark for defining the second concept
1 mark for the difference
evaluate usually 5 marks that require 2 advantages and 2 disadvantages (or strengths/weaknesses) about the concept, then a personal opinion related to the sustainability of the concept in relation to the question (don’t repeat any previous writing in the response, rather link it in a relevant sense)
2 marks for two advantages
2 marks for two disadvantages
1 mark for personal opinion
