ATTN: Business 2003 Students

Shane

Bit of a dilemma. In Transition Year, Business was one of my subjects. I was fairly good at it but did not take it as one of my Leaving Cert subjects. Anyway, two weeks ago I received my statement of subjects and Business was listed. The school had me registered and I took no notice of this when I signed the form!

So, if I don’t turn up for the Business exam I get “NG” printed on my certificate. That is something I don’t want, it just doesn’t look good! So, I have decided to sit the exam, at higher level!

As I said, I was good at Business in TY and covered units 1, 2, 3 (parts), 4 (parts) and 7. So, what do I need to do now? Will the following allow me to get a good grade?


Section 1:
Short Questions,
Just go over and learn all past and sample papers.

Section 2:
ABQ,
I did a revision course that covered this, last week. What should I really concentrate on?

Section 3:
Part 1,
Units 1, 6 and 7, short and easy to revise, but what do I need to focus on?

Part 2,
Units 2, 3, 4 and 5. I’m a bit stuck but once I go over notes from the course I think I’ll be grand. Again, what should I really revise?


As regards Section 3, I think I will answer two questions from Part 1 and two from Part 2. I have revised Units 1, 6 and 7, so I should be okay there.

Anything else I need to do? And before you ask, I can’t remove it from the certificate as I signed it and the deadline is long gone!

Shane

What should I be studying?

sikes

ok here is what i think you can't go without studying:

Europe (Unit 7): First year this unit can be tested in the ABQ. Therefore it has two chances of coming up. The ABQ and in Section C Part 1.

The Employment Equality Act 1998: First Year this can be tested.

Tax Credits: First year the tax credits can be tested. Was a very popular question back in the TFA days. Mathematical.

Monitoring the business: Know the formula for monitoring the business. Didn't come up last year.

There you go. If they come up hail me as a legend, if they don't i will go back to my cave.!

Right! I'm gonna just revise the notes on skoool.ie! Am I safe? i think I'll do the questions on Unit 1,6,7 and Units 2,3,4.

And before you start shouting, I've got the ABQ covered, I think!

kaimera

honestly...I'd say you're kinda fubar.

then again, I did BS last year soo...

anyway...gotta agree with ferdi.

wtf were you thinking in NOT taking it??

Sundy

by the way units 5,6,7 can give you at least 60% in the exams and a possible 75% if more questions come frome thoses units!

so i suggest you do units 5,6,7 then obviously!
