HL Paper

OL Paper

So what did ye think of it? I did HL and thought it was fair. ABQ seemed ok and short questions were mostly alright.

Flyer1 · 10-06-2008 5:28pm

Did the HL paper, reckon I got a fairly good grade.

All good fair questions.

Alvis · 10-06-2008 5:30pm

I found it handy enough. I answered Q2, Q5, Q6 and Q7 for the long Questions.

Wasn't so sure on how to "Illustrate the impact of new technologies on business opportunities.", I made points about various new technologies (online music, HDTV) and then showed some business opportunities.

Had about 3 mins to spare at the end.

tasha1 · 10-06-2008 5:30pm

Did Higher..

Was So Worried Beforehand But It Was Actually Not Too Bad..

Nice ABQ Methinks..

Hand Still Hurts..

I said about online shopping and video conferencing and all that

Answerd everything i had to i havent a clue how i done but i think the ABQ was the easiest part of it.

john-btid · 10-06-2008 5:40pm

I took the higher level and was hopeing on an A.But the length of the paer was a bit runreal i didnt have half as much as i wished too.I got all the short questions out and they were very easy,the long questions out and really well answered but when in came to the ABQ well that wasnt grt.The questions were very good do.

Anyone else find the time factor an annoyance?

1huge1 · 10-06-2008 5:40pm

Nice enough paper, nothing I didnt understand, think I did well in it.

did questions 1,3,4 and 7.

timed it well with about 6 minutes to go when i finished.

Didnt really bother to look over it, nothing much I could do at that stage

Totally.. 2fm guy said short questions and abq by 3.15

Got it done by 3.25.

Totally wrote like mad for long questions and was writing until we were told to stop..

orangetictac · 10-06-2008 5:45pm

Test should be 4 hours!
Had to leave out info just to keep moving on.
ABQ was the best one i have seen(as in it had quotable material in it)
Shorts weren't as easy as normal.
But longs were nice, worded weirdly sometimes and they wanted alot of examples.

A question, what new product did ye do for q7?? I made an avocado chocolate bar.

Prototype development. The green pigment in the chocolate was unappealing:p:pac:

fivetwenty · 10-06-2008 5:46pm

Someone explain the correct version of the following;

Offer v Invitation To Treat
Delivery Van Finance - Medium Term Loan?

For the Strategic v Tactical Planning Q - I defined each perfectly, only the names were the other way round! What marks will I get?

(C) Evaluate the contributions that Stock Control and Credit Control make to the successful

management of a business. Use examples in your answer. (20 marks)

Could anyone help me out with this one? I messed up the supply of services act.

and credit go into the credit controller and his functions

They were HORRIBLE. bout half of em had like 2 parts, as if they really really dont want anyone to get full marks in them..seriously unimpressed...

oleary91 · 10-06-2008 5:55pm

For the prototype development one I didnt talk about a product..Will I lose alot of marks??

orangetictac · 10-06-2008 5:56pm

tute08 · 10-06-2008 5:58pm

So i lost time on that didnt answer 1 whole section C question!!! I worked really hard for business and lost out on time and the section A. grrrrrrrrrr:mad:
