Any predictions for what might come up (despite only having the 2017 paper for the new spec)?!

so you're going for revision first then past papers? I always do it the other way round then I just look at what I've got wrong and revise that, recently did a few papers I thought I aced but got them marked by the teachers and I just forgot all about applying case studies to big markers!
Have you finished the course now?

Guys do you think it’ll be too late if I start revising hardcore 2nd week of may? I’ll be doing my notes until then but im not sure if it’ll be less time to revise everything.
Also does anyone have any tips on how to remember the information effectively and how to apply to questions? The questions from the book are so different from the questions in the actual exam papers so I never know how to answer the questions

application is all about practice and for info retention, keep repeating it to urself by redoing questions, relearning info, cramming, rewriting notes etc

Can anyone answer this 25 marker questions? It would be really helpful to see an exam style structure answer 
"To what extent are financial rations valuable when assessing the performance of public limited company."

Guys how are you all revising for the exams? Everyone in my class is memorising the CGP books but I cant memorise 2 whole books. Do you think I should memorise the books or re-read the books again and again and do practise questions on the topics?
Please help! I find it really difficult to revise for business😭😭😭

Remember at the end of each paragraph you want to link it back to the original question "to what extent" as this gets your evaluation marks and shows you're not just spewing out knowledge.
For a 25 marker I would do at least one paragraph as a counter argument, so for example discussing the importance of long term aims which are concerned instead with customer needs other short term finances, Amazon is a good example of this.
A paragraph on ROI would show the most importance for financial ratios in a business as this shows what shareholders are getting (MOST IMPORTANT FOR A PUBLIC LIMTED COMPANY!!!)
ROCE employed will show a business just how profitable they are, which again is important to shareholders.
Finally in the conclusion bring together everything you've discussed to show why you are arguing to what extent. There is no right or wrong answer just how well you can argue it.
This has been a really rough plan but I hope it helps. If you want I can write up a full essay in time conditions to show you, then copy and paste it in.

Don't stress out, I find the TakingTheBiz videos on youtube are really easy to understand and they cover the whole course. They're particularly good for the theories and equations. Watch them with a book in front of you to solidify any additional knowledge and you're set! Do the spec papers and get them marked by teachers, so you can see where you miss marks. I've been doing loads in the last month and boosted my marks up a tonne

Firstly in your introduction outline what financial ratios are e.g. gearing ROI, and ROCE, then set out your line of argument to how far you agree. It's important to adress that this is a public limited company, so a primary importance will be the shareholders (I'll come back to this later)
Remember at the end of each paragraph you want to link it back to the original question "to what extent" as this gets your evaluation marks and shows you're not just spewing out knowledge.
