Business Tips & Advice

Peyton Manning

• Sale of Goods Supple of Services Act has only appeared once in the last 8 years.
• The EU has come up for the last 3 years in a row, so might be a good bet.
• People in Business - every year.
• Marketing & Research - every year.
• Contract - tends to come up every odd year (came up in 05, 03, 01 and 99 but never in between) so might not come up.
• Industrial Relations - came up in 03 and 04, but not last year so should appear somewhere this year.
• Community Development - same situation as Contract, but I have a feeling we'll see it again this year.
• Management Skills - hasnt shown in 2 years so looking likely for this year.
• Management Activites - no sign of it for the last 3 years. Likely.
• Risk Management - Once in last 8 years - draw your own conclusions.
• Business Plan - always likely to show up. Could be in ABQ.

Also, if a question contains these words, make sure you do the following:

List - To write a number of names or things, etc. You need only name them in this instance.

because you have poor decision making skills - the ability to weigh up risks, foresee future problems and make an informed decision based on the information at hand e.g picking chemistry or physics over business

a tad kevin keegan there fatal yeah, i secretly love to see people fail and get upset too, i get a kick out of it in a sad sort of way suppose it make me feel better about myself.

i wont fail however, i have unrivalled self-belief, self-motivation and a wealth of natural brian power on my side, a lethal combination which makes failing impossible.

i go into every exam knowing i won't fail - and it's that comfort which allows me to relax and perform to the best of my undoubted ability. go in aiming to pass and you're toast - you mentally switch off once you know you've reach 40%.
