Business Aftermath

TheManWho

That was my best test yet, but who cares what I think, I want to hear what you think. Discuss......


Oh and is anybody's hand physically broken aswell?

20 pages, I'm not sure how it went though. I got an extra question done but I'm still sceptical.

~Candy~

i wrote away from in the pres..didn't got stuck for time at all this time, finished on 2mins before 5 ...but my writting was very messy -_-

it's a fair paper i think, Questions are very striaght foward..the ones i did...
Q1, part2, Q1,Q3,Q4
i couldn't choose the Qs i want to di in part2...they are all very nice...

wasn't a big fan of the ABQ part c thoough....hmmm

i just hope i didn't read anything wrong and went majorly wrong
..overall i should be getting my A....hofully

Risteard

Pretty nice paper, question c (ii) in the ABQ was a bit tricky, I just recommended to send a memo and have a meeting and discuss the problem and get feedback.

Did questions 2,5,6,7. Finished just on 5, the policy of not stopping at all really improved from the pres where I didn't get all questions done. And yes my hand is also pretty sore:pac:

I like the ABQ but I found the long questions a bit tough but got through them with no problems.

I did Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q7. I finished 30min early so I went over the paper and did an extra question (Q1).

zonEEE

Was loving part one. ABQ was ok i guess , first part was fine 2nd part I hadn't studying for enough, only got in stock and credit control. Long question were fairly ok aswell, i got stuck for time tho had to just jot down a few bullet points for on of the 20 marks. Overall i think i got in the C region ( or i hope ) Think i did about 15 pages.

what? ABQ @ about 3, each of the long ones @ about 3

= 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15

ImJohn

In a christmas test before I did 19 pages, not bull. It's how you present it

I ****ed up in the debt/equity question, I knew what it was but how was it beneficial for expansion like.

1 page per 20 marks isnt far fetched.

Anyway, i thought it went really well. Hoping for a high B/A now.

Futurism

Jaysus. I did so bad in that exam that it actually warrants a jaysus.
I wrote a good bit but I don't know if any of it was worth anything.

I think my short questions were okayish and that ABQ wasn't too bad hopefully. And I think a few parts of my long questions might have been decent. All I want is a pass

xprincessashx

so could've got an a if i had actually studied...instead i just sh*ted through it all and should hopefully get a c, grand paper though really!

xprincessashx

and yes my hand is physically broken!

orangetictac

I wrote 36 plus a graph last year.....

Different size writing and when i write fast i seem to create an imaginary diagonal margin

jefreywithonef

Bleh, barely got part B of the ABQ done. Three hours or writing with magnificent pain in my hand. Might get a C if the examiner can read my writing.

djcervi

Business was gorgeous.. Wrote about 15 as well My hand is so sore. I liked the part c of the abq. I never got the last part of those abqs completely right before so I think I got better marks in the abq. I'm hoping for an A or a high B.

christina_x

i really liked that paper:D
if i get a C i will be content but i reaaaaaaly would love the B or A!
just made me happy because i really love business and i dont think i could have done any better than what i did so, im pleased:)

wrote 16 pages so yeh, hands ready to drop!x

Nihilist21

I thought it was a nice paper, dunno what I'll get in it though - hopefully an A/B.

TheSpecialOne

K4t

My time management was spot on today which is a result in itself! Hoping for an A2 in that paper, high B anyway.

Finical

How many pages was your shortest question? Take that from 20 to give a fair comparison I'd say.

Ah-Watch

Dead Happy with it... I reckon it didnt go as well as I hoped but still I only skipped Legislative and non legislative in the ABQ. answered everything else- was on cloud nine coming out!

I looked at the paper, so jealous. The aural is all multiple choice!:pac:

History too, but at least that godawful Irish paper is behind me.:cool:

Antamojo

Business was grand.
Short q's and ABQ q's were handy.
Section 3 had some good options, so fairly happy overall.

Teacher 28

Congratulations to all who did today's paper. I'm a Teacher and I have to say, I was a little disappointed that Controlling appeared again (it came up last yr!) and nothing on Planning / Organising. Marketing Challenges was too short on the syllabus to write a decent answer for a 30 mark question.

To those who feel disappointed, many pupils last year who felt they got Cs and Ds actually were the ones who came out with As and Bs!! So don't lose heart!!

Best wishes to all.

MrPirate

I found the ABQ a bit of a b*tch. Then again I've only been doing business for about a year. Just hope I got my C1....

Antamojo

A business involved in global markets faces additional marketing challenges -
Discuss these challenges.

I also did that, for some reason when I read the question I wasn't sure what it was asking - they could have phrased it a bit better.

The three HL Business people, myself included, at my centre did the same! Didn't know, guessed that.
