Well thats that sorted so
Anyone else find it hilarious that is was 30 marks for a swot analysis which was basically done for us already haha.
It was probobly the biggest waffle exam i have ever seen. Id say if i did no study my grade would of only dropped by less than 10%. All my beautiful business expansion, Identifying oppertunities, Management skills and activities (which yes did come up but feck all, 4 ways to communicate well.....).
Comparing it to last year im left thinking, if it was harder would i have done better? im worried that alot of people are going to get high marks so marks must be stripped from somewhere. There was no real show off area which was a bit irratating. Q7 on the place, price and product maybe.
Q6 though..... Sure thats HL junior Cert there. couldnt believe it when i seen it.
Yeah that's what I'm afraid of too. I regret picking question 1 as it's the most answered one on the paper and I'd say it'll be marked very harshly, although I did give it an extra 10 mins or so to make sure that I was happy with it.0 -
Okay allow me to go one step further. The 2006 marking scheme. This was a part B to an ABQ question identical to ours.
They're all different points, it comes down to how you argue them. If you just put down different headings but said the same thing underneath then you're not going to get all the marks.
Anyway it's behind us, nothing we can do now so there's no point in analysing it. Time to enjoy the summer
Yes that's what the marking scheme says, but if you try to flesh out each point for 4 lines on each they will run very close in your explanation. I personally, would feel that I'd be repeating myself. To consult and communicate with someone is by and large the same thing. If they accept them as separate points; good for them and good for us.0 -

Honestly I didn't mind it that much, I would've thought Q2/3 was harder but that was only because I didn't pick them, or study those topics.
haaha you must think im an idiot, q7 was a joke of a question.
Q3 ON UNIT 7
my badHaven't heard anyone mentioning running out of time actually, which is strange for business being as tight for time as it is.
My friend did an extra question, i was tight for time. Once 10 mins left i was rushing part C of abq and trying to get graph paper to get the line graph done0 -

An extra question?! What!? Either that person is very smart and fast or just didn't know a thing haha, I was down to the wire as well, and I'm typically very fast.0 -

Max 1%, 4/400 but yeah you're always supposed to link it back.
So a is (10000), just previous closing stock
B is (30000) (90000-120000) right?
Ok now for C
Net Cash + Opening Cash = Closing Cash right?
-45000+C=-25000
C=20000....
But if you just add 20000+A+5000 (total) you get 15000...0 -

If you remember back to JC business total closing stock + total opening stock doesnt work that way. Add up all the closing stock and you wont get (20000) youll get (25000) which is clearly wrong.
Opening cash total = opening cash of first month
Closing cash total = closing cash last month0 -

Did a histogram instead of a bar chart, many marks lost?
only 10 going for that question, im not sure if they would be cruel about it and give 0.
although histogram is similar to bar chart is still a different form.
Think of it as it asked for bar chart and you drew a pie chart.
But i assume many made that mistake so fingers crossed your all good 0 -

How could it be a histogram with the months not being ranges or whatever?0
