AQA BUSS3/BUSS4 Revision Thread

Last minute tips? Please

Remember the PAnEL structure for reasoning paragraphs (on tutor2u):

Don't forget the AJIM structure for evaluating (on tutor2u)

Stick to timings and ALWAYS leave time for evaluation as they make up 25% of the marks.
Other than that, keep focussed and don't panic :smile:

On this mark scheme from a couple of years ago on question 3 they seem to show that in this particular scenario you need to show working out.

http://filestore.aqa.org.uk/subjects/AQA-BUSS3-W-MS-JUN14.PDF

I assume that's because it asks a very particular question to Payables and Receivables?

yes exactly that, if the question isn't specifically telling you to use a formula, then the workings are not completely needed.
but tbh, if the answer is correct and u dont have the working out you will still get full marks for application

Any thoughts as to what might come up? I have a feeling cost minimisation and decentralisation may make and appearance.

They sound relatively nice.
Just to double check the structure for the essays go:
18 Markers:
2 PANEL (tutor2u) paragraphs
1 AJIM (tutor2u) Evaluation
34 Markers:
3-4 PANEL parapgrahs
1 AJIM Evaluation
