    1 and 2
    Was it 2 that she thought was difficult? I thought it looked the most difficult! I did 1 and 3

    I did questions 4 and 5, they had a lot of marketing and business in contemporary society questions and i find them the easiest topics to remember. Most people in my school did 1 and 3, but number 1 looked like death. I hate finance
    I also did 4 & 5 thought they were the topics I could answer most in, only swayed for five because it mentioned financial accounts (and I take accounting which helped a lot).

    Damn! I did 1 and 2 aswell. At the time i didn't think it was difficult becuase there was more "rounded" questions but looking back now , there were so many better choices like 3 or 4.So Annoyed! The first question in Q2 was a bummer i forgot Span of control and chain of command are not organizational relationships so i only got 2 out of 4 , and i certainly didn't get 7 Quality Management Systems, maybe 4 or 5 , and the last part wasn't straight forward either. I was in a rush and pressured so i just jumped into Question 2

    The only reason i didnt do 3 was because of The Employment Contracts Questions, didnt know what that was so wasn't prepared to risk it....

    I did 1 and 3, they seemed to be the most straight forward and avoided ratios

    How did everyone find it then?! I found it a very fair paper except in section one the flexible working practices, sales + production targets and the local enterprise group thing! Did anyone do question 5 in section 2? i did 4 +5
    I did 4 and 5 as well There were a couple of strange questions in there but apart from that they felt like blessings

    I think the exam is like, you don't know how well you explained the points, so you don't know for sure where your marks come from, which is completely different from subjects such as biology and such. But it also depends on the marker, as I had 2 teachers for business - 1 was nice, and always gave me average to good marks and encouraged me to do better, and the other literally just tried to give me the least marks he could. The same question marked by both teachers, worth 5 marks, I got 4 marks and 2 marks. He said i never used 'key phrases' which get the marks, where the other teacher says its more about your own explanation and understanding of topics which get you the marks. I seriously think i could get a B or a D. Depends totally on the marker.
    SQA Markers have to mark to national standard - don't worry about depending on the marker
