**HL Business 2013 Before/After**

Tommyrawr

Just making a thread for the aul business!

I'd say there's going to be something in the abq like eu policies that will throw people off this year.

Sure best of luck to all of ye who are doing business!

Fearing this the most the only business exam i passed was in the mocks.it seems easy in theory but then the papers seem so complicated! (for me anyway)

Legion.

Business isn't that bad, especially seeing as you can make it a lot shorter if you try. Focus on specific long questions which cover a certain unit, especially since you'll need a good knowledge of 5, 6 and 7 for the ABQ.

I think the business paper will either be lovely and general or tough as **** and awful,

CapnCarlo

They've been cutting down on the number of points in the past few years it seems.

I mean, I know we don't bother on account of doing different units, but if you look at the past ABQs' marking schemes, the number of points required altogether has shrank over time.

But it really can be an on-the-day sort of job or pure unadulterated learning too I guess :P

It's such a weird paper.

mariecxx

really really really dreading this paper all nighter id say..

Clandestine

I'm going for the A lads. Business is my best subject, hoping I can improve on the B I got in the mock. Just need to focus on developing points and examples really.

Try units 5,6,7. Such an unpredictable paper. Look over cash flows it's tipped to come up and the EU with Ireland hosting the presidency this year.

Thanks, ya EU is very likely.

Tip for everyone, make sure you know your liquidity and profitability ratio as they are the easiest marks to get.

Why are you leaving out unit 1? Its no of the shortest and by far often the easier question on the paper.


The ABQ is a no a comprehension. They dont want to see that your a up and coming writer. Its a normal question with a quote really

Dreading the next 12 hours now

LCchancer

nothing is going in!! what can i leave out?

internet_user

gonna be a longggggggggggggggggggggg night!

Lcstudent2013

Just going to go over the eu and the abq, and maybe past short questions. Find everything else easy.
They better not have a stupid ABQ that is impossible to find relevant quotes, and any quotes that they do accept barley have any relevance!!

thegreatescape

I hate ABQ's. It's actually the only thing I'm really worried about for tomorrow.

Phoenix Wright

Last exam so I guess I can stay up til four to cram for it, right?

shawnanana

How do people answer the ABQ? Do you just make the point and then refer it back to the text with a quote?

valencianista

Hopefully Marketing Mix comes up in every question that would suit me down to the ground

honestly the ABQ scares nearly everyone and it shouldn't, it is just like another long question but you just add a link for each answer , its usually not difficult to find a link in the text , don't worry think of it as just like a fifth long question

yea exactly do your points as if its a long question and then add a quote that relates to that point from the text

Hamza Malik

If there's a really long quote can we just take a part of it ? Something like this: ".... made a profit of 100,000 euro"

My business teacher said you divide the marks given for the question by 5,(e.g 20/5=4) that how many points you make then you state the point explain it and give reference to the text (abq)
