The formulas tend to require rote memorisation. It's not rocket science
•
The essays would require you to think strategically; the more strategic and critical your thinking, the higher the marks generally.(assuming you have everything else)
•
I would heavily focus on the analysis before then use critical thinking; a mediocre analysis won't get you very far - think pro vs con, long term vs short term, how would it affect all other areas of business (businesses generally have 101 moving parts), consequences of decisions, risks, etc.
•
Critical thinking would encompass questioning the analysis and the significance of it when looking at the big picture e.g. you make more profit by choosing option A than B, but is £500 difference mean a lot? What are you missing out in doing so?
•
If you don't know certain information about a case study, raise the question in your answers. Whilst it's generally not considered good wiriting to include rhetorical questions, you can still include them in your critical analysis
•
When provided with a case study, quote as much as you can from the case study and rely less on the business ideas/principles - more on application than regurgitation of theory - they are testing you on your application more than what you can remember
•
For any given question, they tend to go very narrow on a certain topic. To get the marks, you are likely going to have to go deep.
•
I would practice as much as I can with past papers as well as thoroughly examining the mark scheme. If you need help understanding whether you got the marks or not, consult your tutor about how they mark the papers.
•
Practice applying your knowledge than memorising the theory for most questions. It's generally what the examiners are looking for, especially for essay based subjects.
