!! Business HL 2015 - predictions, guesses and discussion

For the ABQ I think it will be entrepreneur skills/characteristics and leadership and motivation!

Management skills/activities has always come up in ABQ's as part of unit 3
Apprently skills is due up,so leading,motivating and communicating!

What units are dedicated to what questions ?

Anyone have a list of all the laws for question 1? Being forced to do it as my teacher failed to complete q3 and q2. I've also heard its marked quite hard. Laws of contract and relationships are fine. Just unsure about the other part.

Anyone else praying for a break even?

Units 2,3,4 for ABQ
Can these units come up in long questions too?

I think so yea,
Because those units for the ABQ came up in 2010 and 2005 too (every 5 years) and the units still came up on the long questions

ABQ - Chapters 4 to 13
Q1 - Chapters 1 to 3
Q2 - Chapters 19 to 23
Q3 - Chapters 24 to 26

Q4 - Chapters 4 to 18
Q5 - Chapters 4 to 18
Q6 - Chapters 4 to 18
Q6 - Chapters 4 to 18

Don't forget, you must do 4 long questions. AT LEAST one from Q1-3 and AT Least 2 from Q4-7. The other question can be either, so technically you can do all of the paper (might miss a few shorts though) if you just study chapters 1-18, but you leave yourself no choice in the longs. What I recommend is to leave out the EU stuff, Q3 (Chapters 24-26), that is what I will be doing as that information is harder to learn than most of the other bits to learn. If you do that though I do recommend that you have a general understanding of the chapters for the SQs.

I was thinking of doing the EU seeing as it is a guranteed question- plus we revised it right before we finished school.

Then by all means go for it, just the information on the separate parts of the EU (ECB, etc) can be difficult to learn as it can be pretty easy to get mixed up, but that's my own opinion, and opinion of a few of my friends, do what ever suits you pal.

We will see- I do history also so it means I don't have the couple of free days I would have had if I was doing geo or something- that means I dont have the time to do what I want- and the course is soo extensive.!!!

For management activities is it planning, controlling and orgainising? and what act are ye studying?

Yes Management Activities are:
-Planning
-Organising
-Controlling

While Management Skills are:
-Leading
-Motivating
-Communicating

In order not to get mixed up, I thought that...well a sport is an ACTIVITY, and a 'PUC' is used for hockey which is a sport. 'P.O.C' are the starting letter of the three activities...
Weird, I know, but weird enough that I'll never forget

If there's a 20 marker that I'm not sure about, could I write down like 4 basic points + explanations, and then 3 more basic points just to cover my ass?

If you had the time, yes. But I wouldn't do this initially because it could waste valuable time. Do 4 or 5 points well.

Guys does anyone know how to write up their own business plan for a company, was out for that question. Amy examples would be lovely

Lads, I've got to cram like an absolute sausage tonight. Had a migraine these last few days, barely been able to do exams let alone study (I left it late, but I planned on doing a ton of study from the weekend-Thursday, headaches had other ideas).

So basically, gotta learn the whole course tonight. No big deal, yknow? But what would everyone really recommend studying? I'm definitely gonna go over HRM, Characteristics/Skills - Management/Entrepreneur and Enterprise, and Marketing for Question 6. But can anyone offer some guidance for what else to study? I'm looking for a C3 honestly and I can learn very quickly and I'm pretty good at Business as is and can maybe pass based off study I did a few months ago, not sure.

Any help, seriously appreciated.
