How I get an A in A-Level Business Studies

Use your extract!!! The way to get an A is to use your extract and remember the knowledge, i.e., definitions, formulas, etc. I've known people who focus on techniques more than knowledge and still got an A. For me, I practice writing chain of analysis, E.g., Decrease in interest rate -> lower cost of borrowing -> investment in production (new machine/new staff) -> Increase production capacity -> Increase economies of scale -> reduced average cost -> lower price -> undercut competitors -> higher market share. It needs to be bam bam bam. No time-wasting waffle. For evaluation, start with 'However, the effect may be limited/ depends on...' and then talk about consumer confidence, PED, competitors, etc.

Second, bring at least 5 different color highlighters. Read the questions first and highlight the keywords, then move on to the extracts to highlight points for your application and analysis marks. I hope all of you have time to finish the papers. However, even if you don't, and you got the techniques right, you will still get a decent mark.

Lastly, think of any present business news that could have 2 to 3 extracts talked about it. Write down any knowledge that you think is associated with it and practice chain of analysis using it.

Good luck on your exams.
