AQA Business AS- BUSS 2 (4th June)

Hi, anyone taking Buss 2 on the 4th June? Would people like to share their revision resources? What is likely to come up? Calculations etc.? How you guys are revising for the exam? I got a B last time round in this exam, and am hoping to get an A this time around!

Thanks, would be much appreciated

Also taking BUSS2 for the second time around but got a D last year (lol) and aiming for a high A.

Find this exam really hard regarding remembering the content, though I am fine with exam technique?!

I think the calculations could either be: absenteeism (pretty sure it has never come up), return on capital or net profit margin? Though I would have preferred profit variance as that is so simple :frown:

I am just practising my exam technique and going over the content, trying to retain as much as my pea brain can :-(!

I just use the textbooks and this website called Tutor2u (has loads of business information)

These are the calculations you need: http://www.tutor2u.net/assets/BUSS2-formulas.pdf

How would you structure 15 mark questions, definition two for and two against and then evaluate?

Nope, but I'm sure it is like that definition, two for, two against and a conclusion with evaluation.
