    Hey guys, does anybody know how many of sustainable policies of companies you have to memorize? I've learnt the ASDA and Nokia policies but should I revise the other two that are in the book?
    Btw if anybody needs the link to the past papers here it is:

    hey, I'm doing the exam tomorrow too. In the 2012 January paper, the 6 mark question was asking about how large organisations are becoming more sustainable in the workplace. Technically, the Nokia case study isnt in the workplace, its just a customer initiative thing, so I would HIGHLY recommend learning one inside the workplace just in case. In the examiner's report, they even pointed it out that some candidates didn't get the mark because they ignored the 'in the workplace' part.


    Speaking of the 2012 Jnuary paper, I have the edexcel password, so if you guys want, I can take screenshots & put the paper, mark scheme and examiner's report on here...?

    Here is the question paper for January 2012. If it uploads correctly then it *should* be in the correct question order. The resourse booklet is towards the end. the map I will post in a minute, but its gonna to be awful quality if you try and zoom in... I can't do anything about that... sorry


    If there are any edexcel/TSR mods lurking on this thread, I DO NOT claim rights to this question paper any credit goes back to the makers, all I am doing is trying to help people prepare for tomorrow's paper with the best & innnocent intentions!

    the grade boundaries were as follows:

    C - 32
    D - 28
    E - 24
    F - 21

    all out of 50, of course.
