AQA A2 BUSS3, 13 June 2013

For CPA, do they require you to work out any missing figures they might of not put in? I dont know how to really work out the EST's and LFT's tbh, but i know how to work out the critical path... =/

From what I remember from the January 2013 exam, they didn't, but I could be wrong. I hated that question. Considering it came up in the last exam hopefully it won't come up again, I've been through all the past papers and nothing has come up twice in a row.

Oh cool.

Do you know what themes/questions came up in Jan?

Yeah, i've been using Tutor2U's revision presentations and the textbook just to get the content in. I've practised a decent amount on ratios/investment appraisal, but i really need to answer a few exam questions.

Erm, with Section B you just have to make sure that for each chapter, you have business examples to use in your answer. You need around 4-5. I think i used 3 in my section B answer though.

Also, when i did this exam in June, i answered the question directly with Business examples and it ended up sounding like a story so i got a D grade. You only use business examples to back up your point. Tutor2U have a really good structure in one of their blogs. I used that structure and moved my D grade to a mark of an A in January.

I posted my revision folder for BUSS4 in the BUSS4 thread with loads of business examples for section B, and loads of other things such as notes, and structure. Take a look if you can find it.

I reckon 18 because they all use to be 10, and then on recent papers they've made them 18, I don't know, haha. I can't even remember how to answer ten markers, is it literally definition, and then two chains of arguments worth of analysis and that's it?

Can anyone help me with GPM (Gross Profit Margin)? What would be a low GPM and why is it important?


Also what does Net Profit Value actual work out (and importance).

Thanks!

Sorry to intrude lol but I'm really struggling with BUSS3&4!!! And I can't seem to find your BUSS4 revision folder. Do you think you could e-mail it to me if you possibly still have it?

Do you mean Net Present Value? Net present value is the value of a project assuming all future returns are discounted to what they would be worth if you had them now, which is always less than their face value. This can happen due to inflation/depreciation.

so the exam is tomorrow. has anyones teachers made any predicitions as to what may come up. PLEASE HELP.

does anyone have any good 18 marker examples?
And secondly how do you evaluate? it sounds like such a stupid question, but is it basically saying that this is good because... however... overall..

or is evaluation just simply your conclusion and concluding sentence at the end of paragraphs?

so the exam is tomorrow. has anyones teachers made any predicitions as to what may come up. PLEASE HELP.

10 marker - Define key word, 2 chunky paragraphs

18 marker - Intro, 2 points, conclusion (Do you add another paragraph? Not sure)

34 marker - Intro, 3 paragraphs (1 F, 2 A or 2 F 1 A), conclusion (recommendation?)

Is this right? I'm kind of confused.
