EDEXCEL A2 BUSINESS STUDIES (Business and Econ)

Unexpected would be a word, but it wasnt too bad, I had more to say about the 20 marker for definite but it wasnt impossible.

What did you think?

same here... was really thinking the CSR one would be a 30 marker but still... it wasnt too bad. ironically my teacher told me just before the exam today that decision trees are not likely to come up and even if they will it will be a 6 or 8 marker, so when I saw the last question was like loooooool

Thats very unfortunate, As a whole, how did you find the paper?

Well despite this, I feel quite confident about it! What did you put for the npv question?and also the calculations were deaad easy!! I was fearing some ratios would come up and I'll be completely screwed but this paper was perfect in this respect!!

I actually read the NPV Question twice but i answered it in the end (Thank goodness). I said that NPV didnt take into account the base rate changing which would mean the discount rate wouldnt be correct. What did you put?...... The calculations were simple. We'd acc done them before the exam so it was just regurgitation really. Just hoping i can get an A overall in Business

Can anyone remember what was on the International businesses paper? I'm doing the 2015 paper as a mock next week and could really do with some hints on what to revise.

Barely any content on BRIC countries which annoyed me... got an E in the end!!!!
The 2015 paper should have been published on the Pearson Edexcel website now.

It's only available to teachers at the minute; I checked.
I got on E at AS and am resitting so I was hoping to impress my teacher by doing well in the A2 mock after the let down last June.

I got DDEU at AS so I'll struggle to do worse. I'm resitting 3 modules in May to (hopefully) raise them.

I think it might have been a good thing thought because it has motivated me to revise more. We had our first finance exams last month and I came away with an A and a B. I'm hoping to keep that up for mocks.

There is a big gap between GCSE and A Level. I got a B at GCSE Business Studies with Edexcel. In fact, I got an A in both exams and a D on the coursework unit - so I wasn't far off an A. Just proves how tough A Levels are. At least your not doing the new spec where you have to sit all three exams in year 13.

Good luck
