myshirt wrote: » Ted, an important point.... can you let me know... are you referring to the model, naming it, and then explicitly mapping it out, or are you just using it to frame your thoughts? In other words, is it unequivocally obvious that you are using the models? Or would the examiner have to work to figure out that yes, you are using the models? Me, my natural inclination would be to operate with the knowledge of the models, but in an unstructured way. Because of my knowledge of the models, I just broadly know what I should be thinking about; essentially, the models have conditioned my brain to think in a way that they wouldn't have had I not read them. Practically, the way this works on the ground is I see what is in front of me and then I start thinking commercially. I don't on the other hand, pull out a model and fill it in with info from the case study. What do you do? I would be interested to know as of the feedback that resulted.

But standard wise I thought the mock wasn't too bad I'd have passed it if my timing was better
