Re: Edexcel Economics and Business Unit 4B: The Wider Economic Environment and BusineAhh it was my bad for not being clear enough(Original post by Laura-Robbie)
oh yeh i reread it and made more sense lol oops, yeh i havent heard about the transport bit either but im confident it wont come up or surely more colleges would have done it
. But yeah I completely agree with you, I don't see how the two can be related at all. Anyway best do some more last minute revision and try not to be distracted by anything else!
Ahh lucky you my last one is a week today. I've got two exams tomorrow as well!(Original post by JoeK)
Good luck everyone. Hope the questions you want come up
. My last exam as well, so I can finally relax once it's over!

Edexcel Economics and Business Unit 4b 21/06/2012
Made a thread just for Edexcel Economics & Business Studies Unit 4B: Wider Environment and Change since the other thread 'Edexcel unit 4 economics and unit 4 business' was confusing

So for those who did the exam in January, how did you find it and how did you prepare for it?
I attempted to do the January paper but Section B didn't go very well

Re: Edexcel Economics and Business Unit 4b 21/06/2012Hi. I don't think many people are taking this exam which is why no one has replied.(Original post by mujahid_e3)
Hi,
I'm doing this exam in June 2012. What have you done on the pre release?
Do u mind helping me I have no idea as I just got it like 2 weeks ago. Really need alot of help
This was posted from The Student Room's iPhone/iPad App
We went through the pre release material and answered questions which could possibly come up. Our teacher also made us do extra research so we are up to date with what's happening with things like fuel duty, transport policies etc.
What exactly do you need help for? I'll try my best to help you

anyway i've been through the pre release but dont know what questions to pull out. since u already done that can you kindly pm me the questions that you pulled out... then we will try and compare answers?
i will start on extra research and see what is happening..
btw how is your skills on answering the 30 and 20 mark questions -
Re: Edexcel Economics and Business Unit 4b 21/06/2012
What you could do is go through the pre release and pick out key words which they could ask you to define - this is usually the first two questions which are worth 2 marks- so words like recession, inflation etc
No problem. I'll type up the questions and pm you.
I couldn't answer the 20 and 30 mark questions before. I went through the mark schemes and now I think I understand how to answer them.
This is what I do-
Give a definition of a key word from the question
An argument for and against - make sure you have a conclusion for each point and evaluate the effects.
Overall conclusion and evaluation
Hope this helps. If not, I can use a question that has come up as an example and plan it for you

yeah will read through case study again and pick out words to define and become sharp on them..
When i attempted to answer the 20 and 30 mark questions i was completely lost,
although i follow the same procedure i first define, give reason for and against and then conclude... Never thought about evaluating or an overall conclusion so something to bear in mind..
thanks for all the help -
