Add any of the question marks if you can remember :smile:


Are u sure over expansion was a option 😱😱 ? I remember it said expansion only 😢. And I disagree with that the survey question had an answer of 37%.....

Trust me, it was not easy, the grade boundaries are close to full marks for an A* and the options in the questions are so close together you just don't know which one to pick

The grade boundaries r so high and absurd. If you get only 2 wrong you just get the A* and 3 wrong is an A.

You could argue that multiple choice is hard though, because sometimes they can be really ambiguous:biggrin:

6 is wrong, it wasn't 37% I tried calculating it and it wasn't that.

What did everyone get for the recruitment one?? I think I put job description and application form


It's job description and application form you are correct
Is it possible to get 100UMS on the Unit 3 exam? I've done alot of revision. I got an A in my coursework and an A in this exam? So I've lost 20 UMS out of 200 leaving me at the boundary of an A* at 180/200 so far.

i put person description and application form


I put job description and person description. I think they were doing it from the business side rather than from the interviewee's side.
