lol i live in an Arab country, i can recognize it! just unable to understand it.

 

[Nawaf Dandachi]

u lost 2 to 4 marks as u didnt mention a conclusion bro 20 marks means 7 marks 4r evaluation nawb dhanchi

It's okay to loose 4 marks. I'm sure I did the rest perfectly. 36/40 is always an A. BTW Have you realized that the "Successful Entrepreneur " question can in OCT NOV V1? It was worth 3 marks though.

exactly lets now forget about paper 1 and hope we did as good as we think and concentrate on paper 2 and 3, those examiners are unpredictable. good luck and peace ya'll.

it was also in specimen paper

 

[Nawaf Dandachi]

I know a guy got a C in paper 1 and A in paper 2. Ended up in A in overall so cheer up. Paper 2 will bring us all down :/

BTW Chemistry AS takers might relate, Paper 1 was the hardest among all the papers too damn hard. Paper 3 was a piece of cake. They aim for balancing the difficulty of both papers.

Thanks god no P3 for me

 

[Nawaf Dandachi]

it was also in specimen paper

OH It was? I didn't solve the specimen. I started studying for Business from February and aced it Alhamdullilah. No time for speciments.

 

[Nawaf Dandachi]

cause of the 2 haha

Haha I love how numbers are replacing arabic letters now 2 3 5 6 8 and 9. SH*T

 

[R-a-y]

Mine went REALLY AWESOME. i was hoping it would be tough compared to all the other exams

 

[Rashmit Arora]

I did a silly mistake , I forgot to say the BE shows safety margin SH*T


Economies of scale are the factors that cause the average unit cost of the business to decline due to the increase in scale of operations. These include Purchasing , Marketing , Managerial , Technical and Financial. . Chose any 2 and explain how they are related to a expanding business.


3. Recruitment are Internal and External with brief explanation of each. Job Description and Specification are easy just explain what is in these.

Yeah I did the Break Even Question.

To get 20 marks.

Definition.
Draw a Break Even Chart to support your understanding
Annotate here is the break even on your chart drawm with labeling the lines and axis.
Calculation Method.
Enphesise that no profit or loss being made and BE is in unit " UNITS OF PRODUCTION"

10 advantages and 10 disadvantages.

With a brief explanation of each.

I disagree on the 10 advantages and 10 disadvantages bit. The examiners require us to focus on a MAXIMUM of three points. By that, i'm saying 3 advantages and 3 disadvantages. You need to elucidate on these two or three points as far as possible, showing a clear understanding, good display of knowledge and some good analysis. And for the rest - did exactly the same

oh and youve to give a conclusion too!
cheers!

I don't think I will loose 4 marks because I didn't include 1 advantage. I already mentioned like 6 advantages and 5 disadvantages and liberated on them with a definition and a chart and how to calculate it. Cummon, Not 4 marks! no 25% for 1 point not mentioned. that's too harsh. I wish the curve is of like 34-35.

Well 3 and 3 ? For a 20 marks question ... always give more in business just write write write.. always give more than needed the marks are giving for full understanding, You should resemble to the examiner you fully understand the topic. He didn't specify how many. So try to give as much as possible.

The examiners have stated previously in examiner reports that they expect quality, not quantity they require in depth explanations of whichever points you mention, considering its a 20 mark question.
