thank you so much! 😊

that means folks we might get a question on entrepreneurial characteristics 😭😭😭

With paper 3 should the own knowledge only be used to add value to the answer as the answer should be based more on the case study right?

Im confused, is all the facts/ and additional info we learn getting credited? in the sense that Application mark are for case study links so its confusing how to add in own knowledge. I have read a lot of model, full-mark answers and most of them only talk about the case study

Hi,
I see how that is possible to get full marks without the extra knowledge etc but there must be some benefit in the wider reading recommended in the pre-release as otherwise, why provide it?

anyone have any predictions for paper 3?
