I found timing to be an issue with this exam.

Just remember to elaborate on your points, and to explain everything your saying.

I am also a second year student retaking this. But to get full marks.

seems like we're all retaking :')
remember that the first section is 20 marks, full of definitions and equations to work out.
the rest of the 40 marks is just explanation and evaluation questions. i worked out that on average, you need about 40 marks for an A so if i were you, i'd try and get at least 18/20 on section a so you dont have to get reeeeally good in section b...

I'm literally freaking out that I'm going to fail all of my AS levels.

I'm retaking Bus1 because I got a U :frown:

It would be amazing to get a C/D!

I really don't understand it, can anyone help?

It would be massively appreciated!

I'm resitting BUSS1 because I got a D! :s I found that I spent way too long on the beginning calculation question...and it was only worth a couple of marks! This time round I'm just going to move on if I don't know the calculation...and try and nail the rest of the paper :smile:

Good luck guys!

I have left my revision unti now, haven't actually started yet, got a D last time but completely messed up the calculation questions, would love a B but I'm not sure if that's possible now having left revision this late?

Do you think it's possible to cram and do well in this?

wow. all of you re-taking..? :s-smilie:

just don't forget BUSS1 is a much easier paper than BUSS2 so you really need to get as high USM in this paper as you can so that you need less in BUSS2 to get A's :smile:

For Both BUSS1 and 2 for any question that you think has a key term in the actual question at the top, make sure you put one at the begging of the answer. IF the definition is correct you are instantly awarded 2-3 marks for "knowledge". FACT.

good luck guys and gals :beard:

I did a mock test for BUSS1 last week without revising and got an A

This unit is pretty easy after you've done BUSS 2 & 3 since it's just common sesnse.
So gonna spend tonight and tomorrow going through a textbook and some past papers. Aiming for full UMS
