I'm thinking of the examiners report for 2 (b) already, "Candidates didn't quite get to grips with what the question was asking and a variety of answers were provided, of which a small amount competently assed the pro and cons of the way Kate established her business planning"

Question 2 (c) was quite fun, as it was pretty clear that objective 1 could have a big effect on objective 2!

Does anyone have an idea or guess of the grade boundaries for this ?

It's always 39/60 for an A, and then 34/60 for B etc.

I don't understand why you guys found the Consultant question so hard. It gave the reasons you needed why they help a business in the Case Study. You just needed to put them down and analyze them.

How was it for you
I'm really disappointed there wasn't a 15 mark question on franchises :l
What did you get for market size question?

I thought it was alright. I know what you mean about franchises though

I don't how I got Market size, but my final answer was something 435,700, which was probably wrong.

What did you get?

Market size can be in £ or in how many meetings. I did £ and got £437500... something around that anyway. but other people have done te amount of meeting, which is acceptable too.

2187.5 meetings

gutted! rounded down wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! arghhh lost a mark

-fail-

yeah man first time u2 second time u1

isnt formula for market size (average price x average unit sold) i got like £70k

It is but 350 was only the amount kate was going to sell and that was 16% of the total market
