I found that looking at the marking scheme is quite helpful to get ideas on how to answer certain questions. Sometimes reading just the theories and explanation from the textbook isn't enough for me. Whenever I scan through the questions and their possible answer points, I thought to myself; "Huh, I would never thought of these if I were to answer this question" and from then on I realised that I might flop my business paper if I don't have an open mind to certain possibilities and business situations.

My dearest business coach also thought me that context is important; everything you write down must be tailored to the needs of the questions, like what you said. We need to stay focus and digest what kind of business we're dealing with in the case study and how that will affect their actions and behaviours(?)

My business paper is tomorrow and oh gosh this video was uploaded hours ago is this a sign I wonder a blessing maybe? I remember doing a mock exam for paper 3 and almost cry from the questions. After watching this video, I felt somewhat confident that I might survive for case study.
Thank you so much for sharing and good luck to those who are taking business too 😭

My paper 3 exam is tomorrow, talk about coming in clutch 😅😅

[todokinnie]

My teacher said you should view the business as your own and answer as what you would do if it was your business

[zainabharoon]

One tip which works for all essay questions is to read the question first and then case studies this allows to easily mark points as we already know that what the question is asking u.

My paper 3 exam is tomorrow and he uploads this now, talk about being close😨

[AnasKhan-dgzb]

Dear teacher, I am truly grateful with your lectures, your way of explanation is awesome. I request you to kindly upload some more videos on topics of A2 like critical path, strategic management.

[colmcter]

Invaluable exam tips and Rocky quotes ! Truly Sir, you are spoiling us 😀

[huzefashaikh]

loved this video finally someone made a video for caie business ! Can you please make a video for 20 marks questions and how to write evaluation for it

[mubashirburfat]

Thankyou Sir. It is really helpful. Especially in my case as I'am having paper 3 tomorrow morning.

Hi Sir,
I recently got my AS Business results and scored 97%. The exam technique I learnt from this page helped me a lot. I will be sitting the A2 Business paper this year and I was wondering if you could make a more detailed video on the exam technique of specific point questions. Once again thank you very much!

[uniqueunonymous]

a big thank you .. I just gave my AS this October and will give A2 business in June 2021...uptill then i hope you will do more A2 business videos hehe..my personal suggestion would be that you can upload videos with a detailed specific topic with your examiner tricks which will help us a lot. Also, I noticed that you don't put CAIE in your title of the videos..kindly do that cuz we Caie students have a tendency to skip Other exam boards videos....I hope you got my point

[chialan-noenzy]

Hi, for paper 3 do I need to only Learn the A level work in the syllabus or do I need to know the AS as well?

[jodiehawkes]

I’ve got my A2 exam tomorrow and needless to say I’m terrified

[veerchauhan]

Hi do you have any summarized notes for Cie Business A level paper 3, text book is just too long

[paarthgoel]

Hi sir, just have a query. Will we get a higher score in the essay question if we just simply list our points in 4 separate sections of knowledge, application, analysis and evaluation ?What if We start with a sub heading of knowledge and state necessary points and include evaluation, application and analysis in different sub headings with their own different paragraphs. Will it gain us more marks?

[camplaso]

How many paragraphs do I need to write for 10 marks, 12 marks, 16 marks and 20 marks?

[alizehjatoi]

Could you please make a video on answer pattern for paper 3 ( a level business)

[salehkhalid]

Thank you for this sir, I'm having my paper 3 in about 20 hours. Thanks to you I'm fairly confident (ty very much sir!!) but I can't seem to find a proper format to answer the 20 mark question, are 4 chains of analysis each ending with a short evaluation sentence, and a final long conclusion paragraph enough? Or am I supposed to push it to 6 chains of analysis? 😥 Or there isn't a fixed number and I should consider all the factors I think are important? I'm soooo sorry for the long comment I just can't seem to perform too well on the 20 mark question no matter how hard I try. And thank you again 🙏

[ayeshanasir]

Hi sir i found this video very helpful this is the hardest exam i've ever solved in my life. 😂 But after watching this video i'm little confident than before.
