I don't think so. You could probably if you want but I imagine it'd be just as easy in your answer booklet.

Does the break even chart have to be drawn with red pen?

Is management activities unit 4 or unit 3? In one of my books it is unit 3, in the other it's unit 4..

Does anyone think there will be an accounts Q?

Thinking of dropping to ordinary level tomorrow because I'm stressing out. Never liked business and scraped a pass for the mocks. Is there much different in the ordinary paper in comparison to higher?

little sis...

I see lots and lots of waffling in my future. :P

There's no ABQ and you would be well fit for the short and long questions. I'd advise you not to drop though but it's your own decision

My whole leaving cert seems to be revolving around waffles :P

I'd forgotten just how big the course is. Management activities, characteristics, contract law, industrial relations, product development.. it's huge. The only question I'm confident on is International Environment because it's really waffle-friendly.

This is permissible but I'd advise against it. I used to do them this way previously but your accuracy is compromised. I'll be doing it on graph paper if it appears, and I'd advise you to as well!

You can just check if you're right using the formulas anyway so why does accuracy matter :pac:

You have to show it on the graph as well, otherwise you'll only get 4/5 for each of the answers. Have a look at the 2008 marking scheme for evidence!

Yeah I know, I've just always done it in my normal copy so I think I'll keep doing it that way I always bring a line down to the x axis anyway and write the units in brackets, just so it's really clear :pac:

@Katie1289: Honestly, you wouldn't be okay just doing the Sale of Goods Act. You really should do Industrial Relations Act and the Employment Acts too.

Grade? Going for an A1 really but I'm not confident of it. I seem to often leave out things I know out of my answers for some reason. Our mocks weren't corrected properly at all which made it a completely meaningless exercise. We were just getting ticks everywhere, yet you might only get 4/10. It's disgraceful behaviour really on the corrector's behalf I think but that's for another debate. I know they're on miserable wages. As a result, I don't really know where I stand.

If you check your answers on the marking schemes do they generally match up? Mine are often completely different but I'm confident a lot of mine are legitimate alternatives but I'd like to see an outsider's view.

My mock was corrected arseways too, I had the marking scheme today comparing it to my paper and I should have gotten a good few more marks than I did!

I literally just learned that break even chart in 5 minutes I thought it was so hard to learn earlier in the year

Thanks I was bound to fail without a website like that.

If I open this paper and see a lovely Q1 and Q3, a ratio analysis question and a breakeven chart, a report and question on leadership/motivation in the ABQ and some nice short questions; I will literally cry with relief, I kid you not.

Seriously considering dropping to pass

Did we all get capital gains tax in the SQ's.

Lovely paper once you got into it, Q3 was a dream if you knew EU

Don't ever listen to anybody who tells you that cramming doesn't work. It does, and I think I will get a high B/A because of cramming for hours last night.

Yep Foreign direct investment?

What did everyone get for the debt/equity? I was very unsure where to put the authorised and issue share capital, I treated authorised similar to preference shares and put the in debt and got 1.83:1 but have no clue if I'm right..
