Yes I too am doing F295
In one point, I spoke about the appendix 2 and how SHL's current target market (30 something year olds) lie in the category of 30-44 years old and we can see that from 2011 to 2016 that the size of the population is predicted to by 1% which in turn may lead to a reduction in revenue due to the decrease in potential consumers, (I know 1% is small), and if revenue begins to slow down, then it would in turn mean that SHL are thus less likely to fulfil its objective of reaching a £70million sales revenue by 2016. Then the however was that 1% is incredibly small so it's unlikely to have a significant affect on the overall revenue of SHL and as its possibly that their target market may go from "30 something" into the next age category of 44-59 soon, SHL can instead begin to target this age group as we can see that their population increases in the same time period, meaning that if SHL were to successfully target this age group, it may in fact lead to an increase in sales and thus revenue, resulting in SHL being closer to fulfilling their objective of a £70 million sales revenue by 2016...
Not the best but yea 😂

Because my teacher thought it would be a good idea incase we do badly in people or marketing etc.
i would have rather just focused on one or the other!

ahh okay, that seems quite logical actually because it certainly reduces the risk! i only have marketing left but need to make sure i ace the paper even though it is like what 30% of A2? which one are you most dreading haha?

Personally, I have chosen only to revise for marketing. However, my knowledge on People is not bad. I have both on the same day so within the time gap I will revise for People paper. I'm not really dreading any...although I am dreading the thought of doing better in people than marketing even though I doubt that will happen -.-

thats good at least you are prepared then. and yeah i get what you mean with business you can sort of wing it if you can write a strategic response and relate it to the case study on the day. plus it seems more maths focused and the case study is much shorter then f292 or f297. it just seems strange to go into the exam without a prior case study though haha
I completely failed, never been so devestated after an exam! Forgot the bloody formula for the CPA so lost 13 marks. Then I spent too long on the next question, so I ran out of time on anything else! Lucky to pull a D out of that.

Nothing you can do now and you never know you might have gained loads of marks in the written part! How is your study for f293 coming along?.....I won't start intensive studying until the 15th as I have a law exam before that lo
