Here's the playlist with all recent AQA A-Level Business livestream recordings:

How many marks does a good conclusion achieve? I usually don’t conclude well as i run out of time, so i just do short ones. Is it worth spending more time on the 25 to write a better conclusion? Also, it would be helpful if you could do maths/multiple choice live tomorrow for paper 1 on Tuesday

[ukhticookie]

for thr large business Q, can you also mention smalelr businesses t compare, or would yoi not get marked on that as the Q isn
t asking directly about smalelr businesses.

[Prvate]

Also when considering 25 markers which say to what extent is XXX an effective way to YYY is a best for the against argument to look at better ways or the cons of XXX

[tqobsgl]

Hi there, I know this is really late but it will at least help with paper 3, are the evaluation marks for the 16 markers and above reserved for the conclusion and like the “depends on” part of the answer? I also do edexcel economics and I know you can often get evaluation marks for talking about the other side, but I believe it is different for business where for and against counts as A01, A02 and A03, while the evaluation/conclusion is A04?

[jdinio_]

How many paragraphs should I aim for a 25 marker? and how large should the conclusion be compared to the for and against paragraphs considering we have to add a depends on?

[callumkang]

D​o you need to put mini conclusions at the end of each paragraph (argument and counter) or is one main overall conclusion at the end enough?

[Prvate]

If you don’t know any context could you use a scenario which relates to the demands of the question for application marks

[silverlaks]

If you can't specifically mention a theorist but have written something along the lines of what that theorist says, are you allowed to put the theorist in parentheses and would it still count?

[Kaorhq]

Does you conclusion needs to be the summary of your arguments plus some it depends?

[shawnwv]

you mentioned in the live about an introduction line, could you give me an example in terms of the question about organic and external growth, thanks

[zacblakely]

If you can't think of a irl business for the 25 marker could you just use a certain industry for application? Also, I usually don't write an intro for my 25 markers and still get around 21/22, therefore, is it essential?

[ChillVibes-hoqs]

Hey quick question, so i type in exams, and its quite hard to figure what is enough, compared to written essays. How many words around about would you suggest for each mark question in AQA paper 1?

[LLLL]

Is it fine to include more than one theory in the 25 marker

[ben]

Would the introduction just be like one sentence and is it optional
