Any business people here, I gots a question
Would you advise focusing on 4 specific questions rather than all 8? I dont know why I never did this or even thought to...but yeah, starting to worry about it a lot more because idrk where I'm at with the subject. My idea was to focus on Q1 for part one then do Q4, 5 + 6 in part 2 since they're the ABQ units (right?). Good/bad idea? I know q2/3 a bit but i think it might suit me more to narrow it down 0 -

Ah but I want at least a B2 :pac: And you wouldnt get a C with just those two surely? The ABQs are kinda hard I find or else my teacher just marks hard, I usually only get in the mid 60's out of 80You'd be grand with no long questions prepared! Scrape a C with the ABQ and Short Qs.
I think 4 is much too little. It gives you no safety option just in case one of the questions is very awkward. I'm aiming for covering all 8 just to be prepared for anything. Same with Maths! Everything in business is related anyway. Definitely focus on ABQ chapters.
True, but Q2 often seems so awkward to me. I know them all a bit but I thought it might be better to be well-prepared for 4 you know? And it'd prepare me for the ABQ too, and I'm quite okay with Q7. I guess I'll just do them all if I have the time over the weekend. Thanks for the advice
We didnt do 8 questions in maths but ehhhh, just hoping for the best with that one :P0 -

Well done!Mysteriouschic wrote: »I got an A1 in my GV&V essay I guess my 3hours writing it payed off but it was 7 pages for the (70 mark). Does it need to be as long as that in the exam? plus it takes ages to compare the three texts. Can I compare the two texts or do I have to compare three? My teacher says 3/4 pages, but I usually write 5/6 to be safe. You might be able to cut out some explaining if you've got a lot of that in it, as long as the comparisons are still there. Sometimes it says 'at least two texts', but otherwise I think you've to compare all 3 - but I might be wrong, I usually focus on the (a) and (b) parts. 0 -

Yeah but a C is modest. You don't want to fabricate a pompous impression do you? :rolleyes:
Just do as much as you can. It is difficult for me to assess your business ability over the Internet.
We didn't either, but then again my teacher defines the word 'incompetent', along with it's synonyms.0 -

Even when it says at least 2 texts, you won't get anywhere near full marks unless you use 3.0 -

Of course not! I want my place smack bang in the middle of that bell curve.Yeah but a C is modest. You don't want to fabricate a pompous impression do you? :rolleyes:

True My teacher's great for maths, no idea how we managed to get so far behind (besides doing half the old course...:rolleyes:) but once you've 6 you should be okay anyway
Oh, I never knew that. Pretty misleading. There's a ton of comparisons in our two books though, so surely with so many you'd have a chance? I'd use 3 anyway because I can, but I never do the 70 mark ones.Even when it says at least 2 texts, you won't get anywhere near full marks unless you use 3.0 -
If you just cover Units 1, 4, 5, 6 (ABQ Units).Any business people here, I gots a question

Your guaranteed at least 5 Questions to choose from.
Q.1- Always Unit 1
Q.2- Always Unit 6
Q.5- Always Unit 4
Q.6- Always Unit 5 + 4 Mixed
Q.7- Always Unit 5
And you only have to do 4 out of these 5.

*Happy Rant/Boast alert* :P
Got two essays I did for English off my Teacher today:- I got 96% in my Seamus Heaney essay
- 98% in my Literary Genre Essay
I think they're my first A1's ever in English! I always usually get a high B1 or low A2, but to get the A1's is great! 0 -

Oh if you're doing the a and b part, I think you're fine to use one and then the other two. :P0
Having no course picked yet probably isn't helping
