go over the addition and subtraction aswell. If you can look at datasheets such as budgets and financial statements and try to understand them. A Junior Certificate of GCSE business book would be great if you can find one. As for the first section. try to just read over any essays that you may have written and see can you spot spelling and grammer mistakes.
When you are doing the first part. Whisper the piece to yourself and if you see anything that dosent make sense to you underline it. That one is tricky I only got 14 out of the twenty mistakes that were made. I would have got more but i ran out of time.

It's for a friend, I'm lucky enough to be in hotel GV already! He's been to a tutor but would just like to get more practicising in if he could

Same. Although it meant I didn't put as much pressure on myself.

How did you find it? Think it went well?

I totally missed that!!!!! Raging although I was late in today, see they're still fixing up the foyer

I think I did worse this time round as in I answered fewer questions on the last section but I'd be fairly confident that what I answered was right compared to the shambles last time lol!!! Hope that makes sense. Saying that the last time round I was sitting near the front and seen her get up to call time and filled in any answer for the last 5 lmfao!!!

I nearly laughed out loud at that.

I was wondering if anyone from here was there when I looked round.

Try searching your inbox(s). You will find a search bar at the top of the email providers page.

Failing that, id try the recycling bin.

POPO2014 · 02-08-2014 06:58PM

Yeah done all that, no idea where it has gone? My IST is Monday so id say i am pretty much screwed, i have emailed Deloitte but i don't hold much hope of getting any correspondence before Monday.

Gee-22 · 04-08-2014 09:18PM

Alright folks.

It's ages since I've popped into the boards, but after sitting my IST today I thought I would have a look at what's going on.

I've sat about 8 ISTs over a number of years, but today I noticed something new. Outside our venue today there were a number of police cars parked. Has there been a police presence at everyone's IST? Just wondering if it's been the protocol at all ISTs this year as I've never seen it been done before.

There was about 4 police cars at mine .. Plus constant passing patrols and pc ones in and around the venue aswel ... Was the same at the last campaign too.

Dead on. It's just that I've never seen it before. It was a very visible presence. As you say they were in the venue, driving around and three police cars parked outside the window as we sat the test.

ZeGerman · 04-08-2014 09:26PM

There was none at mine at the beginning of July at the usual Belfast venue and I'm pretty observant of such things.

DesertCreat_15 · 04-08-2014 09:28PM

Same at mine, id say it would be the same everywhere after the fire bombing incident at the Everglades.
