Aqa buss1 2013 jan 9th

I also have the AQA AS CGP book, I have no idea where BUSS1 ends and BUSS2 begins, or if they're all mixed up. I've missed bits and pieces of content here and there and it's all getting very stressful. Does anyone who has this book know? Or if anyone has a checklist of the basic topics they could paste?

Thanks in advance!
Tal.

I'll do my best to copy up the basic topics i've got to check off - once i've picked it up i'll get it on here for you!

Does anyone think it is a good idea to use "the business is only a startup so it may not be able to do this" for analysis or is it better for evaluation?

The May 2012 exam paper was based around 'Zoe's party bags' i think - if you google that i'm sure you'll come across a copy of the questions :smile:

Can someone tell me the difference between an evaluation question and an analysing question (I've gone into panick)

Hey guys i got an A on this exam, just wanted to give a few tips. Just define the key words, then do for and against with a conclusion if needed. Don't forget to link it back to the case study. Also if you're stuck just drop the name of the company to get the application marks :wink:

<---- that does not work in BUSS2,3 or 4 though :'(

Reasonable paper, went better than I thought. ****ed the last question up a bit though but hopefully done enough for a decent grade.

I thought the questions were quite disappointing they were really asking for candidates to dig into the cash study what did everyone get for the calculations

The amount of space for the last question really worried me at first glance, but generally went well!

I got ~3% for part A and ~7% for part B.

Think the paper went pretty well, the fact that it's 70% for an A (so 42 marks) is promising. Really had to watch the time while I was in there, only just finished!
