Really quite well. Last question was a bit tricky although very open ended I think. All the calculations were straight forward. Market forces think I got wrong, and the training methods i didn’t see that it said evaluate the use of the “same” method so I spoke about different methods for different jobs. LTD 9 marker really nice! Overall good paper I thought!

My friend said it did… maybe it didn’t. He seemed to think it said evaluate the consequence of them using the same method for all different types of jobs

I think I said something about advertising and making the scheme known and I barely put anything for my 2nd point because my hand was starting to cramp and I didn't have enough time. I know alot of people from my school put AIDA for that question which made me very confused as idk how that would work but idk. I very much dislike questions which are about strategies and are very broad as I usually struggle thinking about things to say and I prefer questions which heavily rely on knowledge

Yeah same with me, I was gonna put aida but I didn’t think that would suit it very well.
