But not all answers are in the mark schemes, if thats you way of revising great, but our teachers at our school don't advise, neither does paul long. I'm not telling you how to revise, just saying what I am doing and what I've been told.


I do see your point though to be honest as they haven't asked every single question in past papers.. Good luck for Tuesday mate

Does anyone have any predictions for the exam ?? I have been told two things that might possibly be on it which are distrubuted databases and mental models
Change management as one of the 11 markers :colonhash:

Tbh as long as any diagrams dont come up im happy tbh I hate diagrams! not because they are difficult (There not bad) but they take ages to draw. I had 30 minutes to spare in AS and it took me 20 minutes to do an ERD

They are really easy trust me Plan first do

+ and - (Only do 1 positive and negative! its quality not quantity as you need to develop point)

The structure is

Intro (Show examiner you understand question only a few lines)

Bring in technology/Point
Short term positive impact of technology/Point on business (Or who ever is in the question)
Long term positive consequence of technology/Point on business


Bring in technology/Point
Short term Negative impact of technology/Point on business (Or who ever is in the question)
Long term Negative consequence of technology/Point on business

Overall conclusion (Is the impact positive or negative? in your opinion then compare your points and why you think it was positive or negative)

11 marks Easy (Although they can mark you down for subordinate clauses)

How many points would you do for a 11 marker. My teacher suggested 4 or 5 which in my opinion is too many...

Anyone who does a level business will find the Critcal Path Analysis questions very annoying. I got marked wrong for writing about the Critical Path and Float times, and drawing it in the proper way that we learnt in business 👎

BTW the way I'm revising is going through every past paper and writing down answers and questions I'm unsure on. Revision books are so vague and it's shocking that they're written by the exam board. The mark schemes are so focused for this exam it's better to just avoid the waffle!

Could someone explain that predictions grid to to me as I don't quite understand it

How did all you guys do on this years coursework? Absolute bitch wasn't it. Much worse than this exam. So tedious. My teacher predicted I got 52/60 which isn't bad I guess!
