LC Business I need HELP

    I'm doing HL Maths, Physics, English, Economics, Music and German.
    I'm a B3-A1 in those subjects;
    but for some reason that I can't explain I'm getting D-C grades in Business and it's annoying me.
    Apparently I don't sufficent examples.
    When I'm asked to explain something I list the points, but once I explain they become coherent!
    Any tips would be greatfully appreciated.

    I saw you answered my thread so i'll try and help you! Obviously im only in 5th year and have a lot more to do, but i've consistently gotten A1's in Every class test this year.. The most important thing in Business is to State, Explain, Example. For every 5 marks in a long question you should have one sufficent piece of information using the SEE method.. For a 25 mark question you should be writing at least 1 1/4 A4 pages.. Ill post more tips when I think of some! Best of luck! Just keep working on the exam papers and worship the marking schemes.. :D

    im in the same boat as you . everyone always goes on about how easy business is . i am also getting low cs and ds but its probably because i dont study it well enough . its not that i dont like business its just that i find the book we study from so boring. were using 21 century business by william murphy and i find the book awful:mad: its full of waffly and crap examples and i find as soon as i even attempt to study i get bored. Anyone else think the same? I might start using ''business a dynamic world instead'' . my brother used that for his leaving and got an A1 . is this book still in date with today leaving cert ?

    We use "Global Business" by John O'Connor (Folens) and its really good! Very easy to read and understand! Also a good book is "Revision by Definition" by Folens. It's a small revision book that goes through the whole course! It's brilliant and only like 6 euro!!

    In every question, short or long! Should be very straightforward, no waffle!

    For a replacement text book, the less stress would be the one to get if getting a new on, would be cheaper than an actual text book
