Look at tutor2u, it's really helpful. Other than that keep your eye on the Business section of the news and a good idea would also be to follow stocks of key companies when major events with them happen.

For your exams you'll want to use PEEL:

Point- Make a point
Example- Use examples and evidence
Explain- Evaluate
Link- Link back to Question

for your evaluation, you'll want to use AIM.

Answer - Focus the trigger words in the question, make a clear judgement and justify your reasoning.
It Depends - Discuss what the overall issue depends upon. Try to come up with a few issues and explain fully with an example.
Most Important - What is the most important issue when considering the conclusion? Explain why it is most important.

You can put it into this structure right here:

Introduction

•

Definition of topic you will be discussing e.g. CSR, Culture etc.

•

Setting the scene for what you will be discussing e.g. Relate a business you will be talking about to the topic

Argument

•

Point 1

•

Evidence/Example 1

•

Evaluate 1

•

Point 2

•

Evidence/Example 2

•

Evaluate 2

•

Link back to question

Counter Argument

•

Point 1

•

Evidence/Example 1

•

Evaluate 1

•

Point 2

•

Evidence/Example 2

•

Evaluate 2

•

Link back to question

Concluding Paragraph

•

Answer/Address

•

It Depends

•

Most Important

For up to 10 markers, do an introduction, 1 paragraph for and 1 against. For 12-18 markers, do an introduction, 1 paragraph for, 1 against and a conclusion. For 34+ markers, follow the structure above.

This is exactly what I do. Hopefully I'll get an overall A* what did you get...you finished it right???

My pleasure! Aw thank you haha, I wish I was called Diana though, I love that name :h:

And no, you're not :colone:

Oh my goodness, you have 5 in a day, only?! And 4?! I have 6, that's beyond torture.
Lucine, I am extremely jealous. I have 2 lessons once a week, and on every other day, I have 4 or more (on Wednesday I have 6), it's horrible! I'm always too exhausted to study at home, so I just procrastinate which is so bad :frown:

Hahaha, we definitely deserve more! :rolleyes:

Anytime

haha, aww that is a lovely name and of course there was Princess Diana so its very royal too :mmm:

Haha ikr

I'm far from an agel :innocent:

Ah but one can dream :daydreaming:

Yeah that's the main timetable for most people in the country! Just 5 periods a day :redface:

Oh no really??? Then you deserve this :hugs:

& a

how cute right??? :ahee:

That's total torture and its A levels, you never wanna be in for that long or you'd just kill yourself... such a shame. Are you in yr 12 or 13??? Exhaustion is just the worse, I toll feel like just sleeping 24/7 but I hate having naps or lie-ins. I barely sleep tbh, go to bed at like 3/4 :colondollar:

Procrastination gets the better of me too :frown:

Its annoying, I do end up doing a little work tho...just not enough :no:

So much more!!! :woohoo:

cant wait to live it up when I finish next summer!!! yeah boooooooooooooooi :party:

Haha LOOOOOL :rofl:

awww! Haha, I don't think my parents even know I do it. I don't always properly flunk it like I sometimes try for a B/C and then obvs go for an A/A* in the real thing :cool:

Oh I know I never get a U or anything, I flunk but I at least pass i'd probz kill myself for getting a U even if it was a mock :redface:

Shopping is hell right??? :shakecane:

Like its so long and takes forever :zomg:

By the time I get into one shop and leave I just wanna sit down and stop :lol:

I cant help just wanna sit down like every few minutes. I can sort of be okay for shoe shopping since I love shoes plus you get to sit down when trying them on :wink:

I assume Uni exams happen around this time of year too? :tongue:

I wore a cast for six weeks when I fractured my wrist in 2009, it was horrid as it was my writing hand as well :frown:

Lucky I use my left for other matters :colone:

I joined the TOWIE crowd and had cosmetic surgery, I look fantastic now :biggrin:

Oh everyone loves a bit of action, haha. I'm applying for a Uni up t'North in Yorkshire. I cannot tell you how pleased I'll be to leave The South behind.
