I just came back too. The overall paper was good, easy! Section A was easier than section B though. I did the break-even analysis question.

yea but the point is like u have 20 marks divided into 2 parts.... that means u have more points to write for each part.
if 1 question is for entire 20 marks....u have to make sure u include ALL points possible in your answer.

in the recruitment i said interviews and some other stupid thing, instead of internal and external. and in the diagram the sales revenue should start from origin and total costs from FC, i did the opposite :s

the papaer was great!
i messed up in the job description question! actually i didnt mess up, i wanted to save it for last so i could think about it clearly..but the time ran out and in the last 20 seconds i wrote Allah only knows what! i hope it was the right answer.. :/
and for the 20 marks i wrote the coorporate businesses' answer. :D in my opinion that was the easiest! BEA was just too long..
