The examiner report for last year said that question was answered well so I doubt that one will come up. There was a question on promotional mix which overall wasn't answered well so maybe that will come up.

Exam papers are made 18months before getting released. It does not work like that. The BUSS1 paper being the last paper of the spec did not test every part of the spec. They tend to repeat questions for example, comparing location and reasons to innate budgets. The questions are likely to be similar to a mix of past papers but in different context.

D, one mark off a C. Wbu?
For Buss 1 if you got the answer correct and have working but no clear written out formula or definition do you still get full marks ?
Running out of ideas, give me a topic to revise. (Buss2)

I don't think a definition was necessary for any calculations (correct me if I'm wrong).
I think it should be fine, providing you've shown clearly how you calculated your answer.

All the best everyone:smile:
Good luck guys, if youre as screwed as I am you'll need it.
Im kinda thinking that as BUSS 1 was very calculation heavy, maybe this one will be a bit calmer?

I never retook buss1 but I'm hoping there is a lot of calculations in buss2 as they are simple compared to writing essays lol

So far i went through all content took me a good 1hr30 mins
now im just going to do a full past paper under timed conditions, well id do 40mins per case study
and then im going to carry out all the calculation questions for every past paper and finally just going to plan some more past papers instead of doing them.

Tomorrow morning, i'll just go through content once more
