Plenty of business books out there. I got one of my mate from 2000 and it's quality, few out of date things. I'll post up the name of it in 10 mins when I find it (the wonders of 5th year:D). I also have Less Stress More Success business and its decent aswell.

I find a lot of revision books really struggle to condense the information down from what it is in most text books.
Once you know the jist of everything then you should be grand. You might struggle on the short questions which are usually quite specific, but besides that you should be ok.

My bad on the timing, it's called "Rapid Revision Business".

Christ most books are fairly useless in that they have loads of unnessecary stuff in it (wel stuff that isnt necessary for the exam anyway)

basically im just going on my notes book and its worked great with exam papers so far.

well..i am n 5th yr , n we have half of the book covered already ^^
right..i d say somthing anyways ..based on what i ve learned so far..


firstly, learn your defetions coz they come up in short Qs as well as parts of the long questions , well... at least know what they mean, things like price skimming, TQM n stuff lyk that ...and know some sort of examples ...
i know it reli hard to keep them in the long term memory ,i forget them so quickly ... so you have to go back over them since u n 6th yr now:P...and do them short Qs fum exampapers make sure your answer fit in da given spaces

know them laws n regulations !! they are important..

focus on ur ABQ units..know them units really well..

make sure you can do break-even chart, business letter, report,business plan , memo ..and them calculations Qs..you know all them sort of thingy ..

my teacher said the marketing chapter is really important...


basically for business you just have to sit down n learn your stuff unfortunately

Not really, a huge chunk of the course is common knowledge
And as my teacher says ''if you have a flare for it you'll get a high grand no problem''

take candys advice its good,do your best on the ABQ.im not sure wat chapters they are but study them. i did my leaving cert last year,got A2 whereas i just about failed the mocks.

so dont worry or stress about the mocks,u still hve time.oh ye go to any revision class that are on at easter where you live.
if your near dublin go to lesons steet. good luck!

u can try the less stress books but your book is just as good. highlight the main stuff in it and theres no better way of learning the stuff then doin the exam papers.wat you should do if u havnt already is write down the chapters that each question usually comes from.
then answer all question 1s and file them togeter and then q2 etc
that will pay off mate.i hve evidence to prove it

in my case, sometimes its not the knowing it, it's putting a decent answer on the page in the given time.....with the time being so limited, rushing to get it all down doesnt really suit me!!

as high as possible, being realistic im hoping for a B1 or B2:)

nice idea, we have alot of em done as weekend homework aswell, but it sounds like a good idea to do after i study the chapters, to answer em without using the book!!:)

Business isn't the most difficult subject in the world. A good bit of the course is common general knowledge. Business is something we need on a daily basis. You just need to know the definitions and key words and become familiar with the paper (e.g. in Honours, 8 out of 10 short questions). Good Luck to all the Business students!
