I really don't care enough to think about stuff said online (and it wasn't offensive anyway, neither was my reply). Anyway, I answered your English questions. You never mentioned your question after that.

Not crazy he is a genius to have done that and i consider it a great achievement from my point of view ; the fact that he got an A without touching his books and throwing his past papers in the dust bin. Now that's what i call natural intelligence .[/QUOTE]

Lol, that throwing the past papers in the dustbin thing. I was kidding about that part. :3 That was just a metaphor.
But the rest is totally true!

I have three examples of such achievements: Sociology, Commerce, EM. [Subjects which i literally studied ONLY in the last days + No past papers]
Business studies, Economics are similar cases. No past papers. Only 4-5 days of book-reading.

That is why i created this thread - so i could share my wisdom with you people. xD

You want to know the details of how i 'aced' commerce. Lol!

This is what i did.

I read like three or four chapters from that thin blue book the night before exam and literally fell asleep at 3 am... and then skimmed through the blue book in half an hour in the car (for the first time) while going to my exam center .. and gave Paper 2 just like that.
Wrote whatever came to my mind. Loads of choice, 4 out of 8 questions. I could only make sense of 3 of them.. wrote crap in the 4th one..
I had three papers on the day I had commerce Paper 1, so I did nothing for that. :3

For this reason, i got just an A in Commerce. Didn't really 'ace' it.

But i do know the 'Path' for someone like you.

Read the whole book, whichever book you have. Master it. If not, then throw it away and go straight to past papers.
Open a Paper 2. Solve it question by question. Write the answer down, and check it from marking scheme.

Or a simpler shortcut, skim through all the marking schemes. Read all the questions, and get a general idea in your mind.. or write down in points.. and then see from marking scheme. You'll see that many questions would be repeating. Questions repeat in Commerce a lot. If you do this for all marking schemes, and read the book to, you can get an A* in Commerce, if not a Distinction. But you have to be smart!

Obviously, solving more past papers will be better.
So if you have the time, why not?

But pay close attention to those after 2009.. those are more important!

Well, in order to score 7/7 you have to give 3 reasons. Idk if 2 reasons will get you full marks, just to be on the safe side write 3.

And every answer can have 3 reasons, you just have to think and plan before. Do all possible 7 mark questions, and write their answers before giving the CIE.

what about the 14 mark questions?

 

[Dark Destination]

what about the 14 mark questions?

Some questions don't even require REASONS.
For example, when you have to compare the three reformers, you just give an intro para, and one para to each three, and then a conclusion - Total 5 paragraphs!

But if you get a question like reasons for mughal decline, write 7 if you can.. But the most important thing is explaining each reason clearly and giving the conclusion in the end. Merely stating the reasons is not enough.

Personally, when i gave the paper, i didn't write more than 5 reasons for any 14 mark question. Still got an A*.

Some teachers say 5 reasons, some say 7. So just go with 7, to be on the safe side.
