as salam alikum
can anyone please help me out in igcse business p2 . how do we break down marks for all questions. what i mean is like if there is a 12 mark question " using all of the relevant information available to you, discuss whether or not the building of the dam will be beneficial to country X.
from on08 p2 q2b
marking scheme http://www.xtremepapers.me/CIE/Cambridg ... 8_ms_2.pdf
page 3 out of seven
i mean 12 divide by 3 is equal to 4. so four points in total, 2 in favour 2 against and a conclusion that i think it is beneficial etc.
ok so 4 points which will be of 3 marks, one mark identifying advantage disadvantage, one mark explaining it, one mark for applying it to the case study. and done
please guide me if i am wrong or correct.
thanks

for this type of question remember to address effect on all stakeholders
ur approach is right
but another way you could split it is
Company: advantage and disadvantage
Environment: Advantage and disadvantage etc
Employees: etc etc

considering 2 marks for conclusion
4-5 points should be more than enough

Yes it is like that but in this case you must give a total of five points 3adv and 2dis or 2adv and 3dis
each is for 2 marks
last 2 marks for your conclusion explaining that you had more adv or more dis(similar to argumentative writing)
Good luck
