Higher order questions in VCE Business management exams

There has been a steadily increasing trend in the number of marks allocated to higher order questions.

While both middle and higher order questions have task words such as ‘justify’, ‘discuss’, or ‘evaluate’, middle order questions often require responses to link to a business scenario using provided information only. 

In contrast, higher order questions require responses to infer possible examples or outcomes from a business scenario or case study.

The skill of inferring from business scenarios and case studies is essential to score well for the VCE Business management exam.
