Higher Business Management 2012Just wondering if anyone on here is doing it, I know it's 12 days away but still lol.
Anyone have any ideas of what could come up? post away.
I'm really scared as I really need to revise the whole course and do past papers but they take so much time. I have nine days before it though so i'm going to revise then, lol. -

Re: Higher Business Management 2012Also doing Business, not started revising for it yet but will do next week. I'd suggest revising:
product life cycle
extension stratagies to increase sales
role of finance
cash budgeting
finance ratios
users/uses of financial information
cash flow problems and solutions

Re: Higher Business Management 2012I'm doing it too (crashing Higher, and the only Higher I'm doing this year).
I haven't started revision for it yet as I've got my Advanced Maths exam on Monday (which I've had to do tons for), so I'll have a week and a couple of days to revise purely for Business. I think it's enough time as long as I get my head down and don't get distracted.
As for specific topics, I've not really looked into it, but I'm going to revise the whole lot, because there's so much questions, that a lot of things can come up. I'm just going to spend more time on my weaker areas and make sure I know everything. (Now I come to think of it, the whole doing all 2 and half hour past papers next week does not seem enjoyable in the least) -

Re: Higher Business Management 2012Business management is pretty straightforward to be honest, uses a lot of common sense really so it's not the toughest of exams but it's one of the most dull. 2.5 hours going through that exam paper is gonna be boring as hell.

Re: Higher Business Management 2012Only a day over a week now! I'm getting nervous as I want to do well to prove everyone wrong as I did extremely poorly in my prelim lol.
Hoping for quite a straightforward paper, so depressing knowing it's 2.5 hours long though. -

Re: Higher Business Management 2012I'm really looking forward to this exam, it's my last one and it's my favourite subject so ending on a high! If anyone needs any help with it etc feel free to ask, I got a B on the prelim but that was after being off for a month unwell so I'm aiming for a decent A pass on Wednesday!
In the prelim I managed to finish the paper in an hour and a half, don't ask me how I managed that cause I honestly don't know but I seemed to think the exam was only an hour and a half long not two and a half so I was rushing. Plan to do the same on Wednesday though since I had a hour to check over things. -

Re: Higher Business Management 2012I would agree with these. I sat the course last year, and for me at least, it worked to learn solid definitions of the advantages and disadvantages of everything really and definitely know the steps I had to follow for each type of question. LEARN YOUR QUESTION TYPES. That's probably one of my key points(Original post by Sami')
Also doing Business, not started revising for it yet but will do next week. I'd suggest revising:
product life cycle
extension stratagies to increase sales
role of finance
cash budgeting
finance ratios
users/uses of financial information
cash flow problems and solutions
internal organisation
also, practice the first question lots, it's a very very easy 10 marks!
If anyone needs any tips or anything, I'd be happy to help! I got an A last year

Re: Higher Business Management 2012Like explain, describe and identify?(Original post by AminahEmm)
like key words ?
Looking to get an A in this, got an A in the prelim and done last few years past papers getting A's each time. Did you do it AH?(Original post by rawragee)

Re: Higher Business Management 2012I didn't, as it wasn't offered by my school, but I have been tutoring my friends who've taken it this year so it's fairly fresh in my mind(Original post by Sami')
