it’s good to add knowledge about the clothing industry. my teacher is a examiner and said that if we know information about the market and the business they ask from the case study we would earn extra markers

We cant know for sure at the moment. Once paper 2 happens it should be a lot clearer. As its unlikely that topics that have come up on p1 and p2 will reappear on p3.

revise the uk clothing market and everything related to it include finance, forms of business such as ltd or plc, decision making tree and others
Hi, does anybody have the Tutor2U resources regarding Paper 3 that they can share? My College brought in the ones from RevisionStation, but it's clear that whoever wrote said resources has used ChatGPT for almost all of it, meaning the resources are as good as worthless.
Has anyone made a list of the spec points that would be useful to go over?

How are we supposed to prepare? Do we have to look at specific examples and trends or revise certain topics related to each category? Because they’re gonna provide case studies in the exam so would research be useful?
