This page is to help with the essay standard that relates to decisions.There is also a page for AS3.5 (situations)

The decision standard is best approached by using the CCCCC model explained earlier. In this standard you will be asked to explain a CONTEXT, describe CAUSES that contribute to a decision and then look at CONSEQUENCES of that decision over a defined period. Our first example looks at the period 1840 to 1850 as the defined period. The following document has a template for you to critique some of the essays The next documents are to help you out with your exam preparation. Part of that process is understanding the 'rules of the game' The (2009) has the following on one document. The other have the assessment schedules. The next documents will include the same as above but for 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
