You'll be fine! Hopefully i'll get 80/80 in my ABQ to make up for it!You can still get almost the 10 marks dont worry
I had to bluff so much long stuff too >_> But it was my last exam and I only want a B3/B2 so meh :P
I got website, mobile display, competition and sponsorship but I put each evaluation as a desperate attempt to get a new point. :pac:
I actually filled the booklet today, so proud, I hadn't filled one yet in these exams and was a goal for me! :P
What questions did you do Patch?0 -

Fook, you filled it?! I wrote 18 pages in English P2, the most in any of my exams, and still had like half of it to go?! :eek: The ABQ was so nice, hope I did well!PictureFrame wrote: »You'll be fine! Hopefully i'll get 80/80 in my ABQ to make up for it!

I was like "oh wow I could get an A here...let me see if the rest is so nice! Oh...ohhhhh....never mind" :pac: I managed though
I did Q2, 4, 5, 6 - had never done a letter before...but I think I did it right. Had to wing a lot e.g. secretary and chairperson? :P What'd you do? Any extra ones? :P 0 -

Yeah I got it completely filled! :pac: I did like 5 pages for the ABQ though. I tend to overwrite in Business :pac:
Nearly the same, I did Q.3, 4, 5, 6! Me neither! It was a bit weird but I liked it! Ohh and the Secretary/Chairperson question,
'd it. Just looked at it this morning at 7, and my Mam is on a lot of Committees and that so I actually knew all the stuff! I gave 7/8 points for each one
No Business plan though, (well a little bit of one) but no actually doing one, it kinda disappointed me. I really wanted to show them my indepth knowledge of them! :P
I was writing like a MANIAC. People were telling me I look possessed during exams, I breathe really fast and have my head literally on the desk with concentration. And i'm a lefty, so I look like an idiot when I write (hand is all curled in). At the end of the exam I stood up and everyone started laughing, my hand was COMPLETELY covered with ink, it was terrible! :P0 -

Omg you machine :P Was tempted to do Q3!

Btw do co-operatives have limited/unlimited liability? I guessed it was unlimited to make a contrast with private limited companies (educated guess ) but yeah I wasnt sure :L
Haha I just was like WHO WE ARE, WHERE WE'RE GOING etc :P Caps everywhere as per my book, that was another 9am job! Definitely got at least one extra grade because of that cramming :L :L Hahaha! Doesnt sound as bad as my friend's cousin a few years back, her hand BLED in English and she kept writing, trickling blood onto the page omg :')0 -

Those shorts were BEAUTIFUL werent they?! And the ABQ! But what'd you guys get for the third part of the ABQ? No one in my class could get more than 4 points.
Also, whats capital employed? I did the ratio question and got 12.5% by doing Net Profit over whatever was 400,000 - wrong?
I said it was the point at which the firm begins to make a profit? Feck. Can't really afford to lose marks in the Shorts of all places!
For Q.4- I got 10% for ROI. But tbh, everyone has been getting different answers all over the place so i'm not too sure!
For the 3rd part of the ABQ, I got:- Website (Advertising)
- Sales Representatives (Personal Selling)
- Mobile Display Units (Advertising)
- Competitions (Sales Promotion)
- Sponsorship (PR)
I'm coming to a total of about 75-78/80 for my Shorts.. Not happy, seeing as how I had to bluff parts of the longs! A1 is slowly fading away!
Think those points on the promotional mix are spot on.
I said all the same, then mentioned branding even though it's not promotion, hope they don't deduct me. Also I think I said 'direct selling' for the personal selling one, again I don't think they'll penalise (hope). What did you say for sources of finance and the analysis of profitability and liquidity?0 -

- Video Conferencing
- Electronic Data Interchange
- 'Just-In-Time' (JIT) Manufacturing Process

TG, and thank you
What did people say about the National Consumer Agency? I said
-they inform consumers of their rights, web, hotline, consumer choice
-they prosecute retailers, name and shame, issue on the spot fines
-give warnings regarding products that have been recalled, unsafe for usage0 -

Aww.Co-ops have limited liability ..... Oh well, I was never looking for a top grade in business anyway :L
Damn, completely forgot about that. >_> It sounds like something from Pokemon :pac:I just skimmed over co-ops, was I right in saying they apply to the Registrar of Friendly Societies for formation?0 -

I did 5, assuming they were at 6m each!
I got 10% for this. Seemed fairly legit as the previous years trend was 11% and they had fallen in every other ratio!
There were two As in my mocks - but I'm delighted it was marked hard.
Bet my very last cent that there will not be 17As in the results in the real thing!! In fact, I'll give you a grand in cash if there are!! ;-) That paper is going to be marked very hard :-(0 -

What makes you think it's going to be marked hard? It was by no means an easy paper, was very nitty gritty.0 -
