I think I did JIT? I don't know why but I didn't find it good and I was hoping for a 9. I don't know if it's possible anymore? I purely waffled on the 12 marker but kept repeating myself so how many marks you think I'm maxed on? Also was i correct with what document they may give to someone and I said an application form? 1 of the 6 markers I only expanded on 1 point which was only enough for 3 marks. Then JIT I don't know if i did it right - I spoke about No need for warehouse so no fixed costs and then spoke about how they won't be prepared for sudden chamge in demand etc. Do you think it can get a 9 and maybe it will be like 70 marks in each paper for a 9 (That's what it was in 2023 and pretty much every year before that)
