Hi there,

While you're waiting for an answer, did you know we have 300,000 study resources that could answer your question in TSR's Learn together section?

We have everything from Teacher Marked Essays to Mindmaps and Quizzes to help you with your work. Take a look around.

If you're stuck on how to get started, try creating some resources. It's free to do and can help breakdown tough topics into manageable chunks. Get creating now.

Thanks!

Not sure what all of this is about? Head here to find out more.

Thanks for the notes. Literally ****ting this. Learnt it so long ago its all flown out of my head. The grade boundaries seem quite lenient:

BUSINESS STUDIES UNIT 3 Overall Marks=80 A=56 B=51 C=46 D=41

You got any tips on how I can go about this seeing as I learnt it all so long ago?

It literally looks like there is so much to revise

Omg literally the same as me.. Learnt it all so long ago, and during classs all we have been doing is UNIT 4, so I'm dying aha, nervous. Ive been using a lot of flash cards though, I think they're a great source of revision (personally), as you can write so little so at least certain words stay in your mind and act as triggers.

Although the grade boundaries seem to be quite lenient, I've read a few posts previously on TSR and previous years got grades much lower than they hoped for, so I hope this year they'll go a bit nicer on us.

Fingers crossed.

If i were you i would just learn the formulas and ratios and know how to use them, especially the NPV, payback period and CPA , also learn the definitions :smile:

Apart from that practice past papers and look at the mark scheme and examiners reports see what the examiners are looking for

Remember all the answers are in the case study so even if you have less revision you can still get a decent grade

Thanks for that. Sounds like a good idea, they give you all the formulas so I guess I should just learn when to apply and yes you're right about all the answers being I the case study. Chilled me out a bit!
