    OK, so recently realised that I have done absolutely nothing for Business and am at a loss as what to do
    figured the acts would be a good place to start, and the contract
    but other than that im totally clueless
    any tips or predictions?

    yeah it is marked strict and most people who get it rechecked only get market up because they mis-read the mark on the paper and not due to the overall standard of marking.

    Tips or Predictions - none at all. IF u really haven't anything done, do uniit 7, its easy. Of course u SHOULD know the units 2,3,4 inside out. Part (c) of the applied bus q always catches me though. It is only common sense IF u know it. I have to say that it isn't AS easy i first thought. If u don't have the answer thats down in the exam answer booklet they will slate u for it, even if your answer is logical and even true. For instance characteristics of an entrepreneur, there are so many, some they won't accept. Thats why i usually name about 2-3 at a time and then expand as if its one.

    In conclusion its a relatively easy subject if u study.

    I didn't have a clue around two weeks ago but I started doing the papers over and over again. My standard's gone up, and I reckon I'm better at answering the ABQ's now because of it.
    So yeah, do the past papers over and over.

    dont forget to give as many examples as you can, a fella here who had known the marking scheme or whatever was saying in the short q's for example that 2 marks in each question were rewarded for examples

    he got an A1 so i assume he knew what he was on about, ill see if i can dig up the thread

    EDIT: here you go theres a section on bs tips
