    The only thing they might ask you to draw is how to manage stock control.
    Don't forgot product life cycle.

    it's tomorrow.. ahh!! i've not even been doing revision today since I've been procrastinating all day! but i think i may have myself a few hours with my notes just to read read and read... anyone else feel the exam is just how much you can cram in to your head rather than what you know/don't know? (if you get me)

    My teachers have been telling me all year that all answers except question 1 need to be done in sentences and that you wont get any marks if you use bullet points.

    yeah but in that book it lays it out in a certain way. But, if you dont use bullet points, should you leave a space between each of your points to make it more clear for the marker?

    Our teacher showed us sample exam scripts and someone had used bullet points but then written sentences and they got the marks

    FML barely been revising, thought i had a grip on things, but obviously never. I think the only way I'll know how i've done is after the exam, because so many different questions can come up, that it's hard to predict a grade. If that makes any sense.

    I can't bring myself to do anymore revising. I've done a total of 25 hours crammed in the past few days (10 hours yesterday). At first I had so much time to study but I just procrastinated the whole time (I blame the weather - must soak up the sun). Oh well, cant turn back time. Good luck to you all!

    It is when employees (somtimes managements) use their initiative and make decisions for themselves without having to consult managers. It happens during delayering and if an organisiation has a flat structure!
