Well marketing mix for the ABQ, thats so important.
Know you acts from chapter two. One comes up every year.

Just go over your notes and test yourself. Then after that try some exam questions and just write out the points to see if you can answer them, the ones you can't just go back to your notes and go over it. Do this back and forth and you'll be grand.

Theres a lot of stuff to know in Business but most of it is easy and its just a case of going over and over it.

If you've any problems send me a pm or post it here.

at the weekend I will be going over this pretty seriously. Unfortunately I do honours Irish which doesn't help very much.

Tell me about it like whats going on?

HONOURS IRISH PII(The harder one) + Business on the same fricken day??

My god this timetable really needs to be sorted out!!!

I don't do Chemistry but I feel for those who had chemistry today after English 2!
Ridiculous, I was shattered after English 2, couldn't imagine what it was like having to stroll into chemistry after!

Business is so unpredictable.

But obviously the last three units.. and all the main acts.

Not worried though.

Banking on my A1.

Twee.

There could be an EU question because of all this business with the Lisbon Treaty. For section one just make sure you know definitions. Definitely look over the Hirearchy of Needs, how to draft memos and notices. You'll be kicking yourself for not getting those easy ten marks and dear god don't forget to put a heading on any drawings/graphs, it's worth two marks.

I wish i was. I know it's basically a load of waffle and the likes but I just can't seem to do that well. Especially with the terms and definitions. Plus it's harder than other subjects to predict what's coming up. The fact that my teacher wasn't the best either probably added to the problem.

If you find it very hard you should be doing pass because either it comes easily to you or it doesn't.

Im hoping for a B1, i've put the work in and im fairly prepared for whatever they send my way.

I can't (Points wise). I've done a good deal of work but the definitions and the likes....I just can't seem to explain them well. Basically, I go the long way round explaining them and in the end, don't even answer the Q properly !

Oh i will, ha, good luck to you too. I'm sure you'll see me giving out about the Business paper after it !

ye just keep writing about stuff(study technique) even if you are copying it from the book, you'll be surprised what comes back while sitting the actual exam!
Thats the way I was with english today, I knew so much more than I thought!

Take a chill pill, and when sitting the business exam just put yourself in the shoes of a business man, question yourself, what would I do to make this business run more efficiently, how would I come about this, is it even possible?

Learn a few definitions over the weekend. This will Boost your confidence level and make you excited when you are asked for the definition in the exam!
Relax and think of the celebrations afterwards!

Brilliant use of english.

pity English is over, you could have used that in your essay. E.G How the smell of sarcasm brought out the contrast in Iago's manipulation to Desdemona's innocence. ha
