wow that is pretty crazy, i suppose thats the problem with january exams, they are so close together.

How comes your doing so many in jan anyway? are you a private candidate?

Thanks for that, i wouldn't have asked but i am going to africa for over 3months and wont have access to the internet :eek: and i am doing this exam in june (Although Section A will be different), and all i will have is my revision guides.

Funnily enough i am actually going on the 24th around Midday, so do you think you could let me know by then? I can drop you a gentle reminder on the 23rd just in case you forget. I understand remembering all of it would be difficult, but if you could just give me a gist or flavour of what topics come up i would be most grateful


I'm finishing off my maths and business in Jan thats why.

And yh my teacher usually gets the paper one day after the exam. If you remind me the day after the exam I can send you the questions.

Yes because most will do BUSS4 in june and BUSS3 in Jan. I guess I'll memorise as much as I can and then send it to you!

my teacher is one of the people that writes this paper. He said to get good aplication marks you always need to be in context with the industry and state facts and figures eg revenue up 21.2% for 2012.

He also said you need to pee throughout each paragraph

Point
Evidence via examples
Explain the effect on the business/industry

He also stated the importance of the evaluation

I absolutely hate BUSS4.

I think the answers are not in the book. Its just you have to think in a logical manner and use knowledge from BUSS1-3

I hate the questions on managing changes.
I seem clueless when it comes to that question!

Section A will hopefully go well. I am not too confident with Section B though.

Problem is I have 4 other GCSEs - I haven't done much revision.

I think Leadership may come up. It hasn't been in the last two papers and it's a frequent topic in the other series. Culture is also a frequent topic but that came up in June2012.

Does anyone have any examples of leadership?!

you could look at steve jobs/ michael dell/ starbucks guy (shultz?)/ tesco for success stories
Good luck to all.

Yes, my teacher believes 2 and 5 are likely to come up!

I suddenly feel a bit more confident about this exam than I did 2 weeks ago!
