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

    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.

    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.

    I agree! Messed up my whole exam. It sort of stumped me for a few minutes and I began to worry before deciding to leave it til the end. Then I played catch up for the next 3 hours over the course of 16 pages! Got there though, and then that possibility poped into my head when I went back to ABQ. I think, compared to other section 1,2,3 ABQ's it was a bit awkward.

    I think the marking schemes are only finalised after a selection of the exams are marked. Just to see if any marking needs to be changed.

    Ya was phrased difficult, although now that I read it again if you knew your stuff that question was quite easy!

    (B) Discuss three types of management control that you would recommend Liam put in place to secure the future of RES Ltd.

    We think it was Quality, Credit and Stock Control? After all, these were the problems Liam faced..

    For quality control I said that quality checks could have found the problems in the goods before they were sent out etc. etc.
