When would you have wrote about the characteristics?

Mate I can't remember but the scone part of the ABQ dealt with intrapreneurial activities.

I don't think characterisitics came up as I ddidnt write anything about it.

I never wrote anything about intrapreneurs activites. I'm sure it said how the company benefited from intrapreneurship. I'm not certain though.

Short questions were grand, but my time went all out of control after that. Got the first bit of the ABQ done and thought, "I'm not going to get this all done by five." So, I went onto the third section and wrote a bunch of rushed crap. Fourth question was mainly composed of short-hand notes and bullet points, a desperate last attempt at getting some marks.

So, so disappointed. Nice paper, but my timing was all screwed up. I was hoping for a high C, too.

what a dirty c**t of a paper.

Yeah you didn't have to write about charachteristics afaik. It just said something about how intraprenuership has benifited the hotel.

I thought it was OK. THe short questions as many said was were quite easy, but the ABQ was tougher than I've done before and I was heavily stuck for time for the long questions. I reckon I did enough for a high B though.

After 6 hours 20 minutes of exams today, my hand hurts like hell. Thank god for the day off tomorrow!

Did you guys write much for the advice q after the ratios?

Rojiblancos

Short Q'S and the ABQ were grand.. section 3 was a struggle at times though. Only wrote 11 pages in total

UndertheMatt

2 A4s and a small bit.

I thought it was fair overall. The ABQ was delicious,IMO. It tested my highlighting skills to the max!

WHAT THE HELL what was the point in writing 2 a4 pages for part (iii) of that question:eek:! i wrote half a page for that was only 20 marks like

AllInOne

I thought the short questions were pretty rotten...most of them were bits of units we only barely covered. Just lucky on some of them. Hopefully it went okay though. Rest of the paper was grand enough, but like other people have said I think it was asked in quite a weird way! So glad it's over now though

What was the advice?

theowen

Reillyman, get some manners or find a different site to use.

The man isn't insulting you or anyone else, he's simply saying that those who think they have done brilliantly are sometimes somewhat disappointed with their result, while those who panic and think the worst are sometimes pleasantly surprised.

Fact of life tbh.

No-one is saying that you didn't do well, nobody is saying that you shouldn't be pleased, take a chill pill.

lookingfor?

guys i got 64 % in my mocks with 6 pages
come on 24 pages thats a joke

i done 8 today
2 for the ABQ
1.5 pages per long Q

by the ways yous go on you then 20 pages for links
every one i have been chating to has done the more our the same as me

i got 340 points in my mocks and if i get that agan i am happy i only need 300 any way

but when your older you will look back at this with your 30 year old virgins and say what did i do wrong

I know, it was way too much! I had loads of time though. In the mocks i only wrote 3/4 page for a similiar question and I got like 18/20, so you'll be grand! I hated those trends though. It's usually that they go from from good to bad , but today they were all over the place!:(

You might do but i'm not marking the paper this year so i can't make any comment either way. I hope i never make contact with you in "the real world" - you're quite aggressive and obnoxious. I came on here to give people some hope and to encourage them. Good luck.

Not to keep talking about the same question, but did they not get worse today from 08-09?

I might have done them wrong
