Any study notes for all units? :biggrin:
QUOTE=deano321;55720009]I know I'll get a C no problem. But I really want a B in business and I'm always 1-3 marks away. I don't know what I'm doing wrong :frown:

Hey everyone,am doing this exam too - if your going for medicine or dentistry - resit is not really an option - i was like you a week a go or so - just do all the past papers available and get used to the time and writing fast - when i first did this subject i expected a lot of numbers - but its really a lot of writin - so practice! practise!for 4 marks - 1 knowlege , 1 application , 1 analysis , 1 eval - easier way to take that is give a definition , then say why what u chose is correct , if you struggle with that just give reason o why 2 are correct so you an still get 4 marks , dont ever expand if your unsure take the safer option.as far as longer answers - once i started pp at home - when your fine with time you can do well on those - my teacher said the marking is really lenient because their was someone in the class in one of the mock they didnt have nothing like the mark scheme on the 8 markers but she followed the structure and made valid points - so dont stress.as far as am with unit 2 - i havent done much - but i guess it won't take long - such a couple days hard study .good luck am intending to do 3 more pp today - done 1 already - i have 3 left and done with them all

yep, i am, not too confident, just revising and doing past papers
im doing it :biggrin:
i'd say im getting pretty strong A's - i was getting B throughout year at xmas time i studied the content hard - now ive done all the past papers and everything is becoming easier to recall.

any one know how to go about the 12 markers? im fine upto 8 ? but when i go to old papers the 12 markers seem like a mission?

Recently they've been splitting the final 12 mark question into 2 6 mark parts which is much better imo. But for the sake of it, i think for the 12 markers you would just do an extra analysis point, maybe either and advantage/disadvantage? Or both, not too sure.

Sec A I just got 32/32 on jan 10 paper - hope the exams like that on monday.

sec B - i got 24 - its pretty hard to push for the evaluative marks on some questions as you really do go blank - you give a postive and then just stuck n negative for long . totally depends on topic - but ive done all past papers now - tomorrow i think i should just memorise the notes.

good luck
