Thanks for all the help, AQA

I just started looking over the stuff for business unit 11. The way I revise is by answering past exam questions. I head to the AQA website to find some, and there’s none there!? There’s an examiner report about the exam, but no actual exam. Not helpful at all.

I guess I can work from the specification, but they never actually tell you what you need to learn; that’s why I like using the exam papers because you can actually see what they’re going to ask and how it’s going to be asked. Take law for instance, the questions don’t mention defences at all but you’re still expected to put them in. You wouldn’t know you’re supposed to unless you’ve seen past mark schemes and exam papers.

The examiner’s report is actually quite helpful though.

I’m just going to go ahead and learn all of my text book.

Exams I’m taking

As a token of how unorganised I am, I wanted to make a post saying what exams I’m taking.

May

In May, I should be (at least, I think I am) retaking computing, unit 2 (CPT2) and law, unit 2 (LAW2). Both of these are AS resits because I failed them last year, which is always fun.

June

A2 exams I’m taking in June are law, unit 6 (LAW6) and unit 4 (LAW4), computing, units 4 (CPT4) and 5 (CPT5), and business studies, unit 11 (BUS11).

I’m resitting law, unit 5 (LAW5).

Jolly good, only seven eight exams. Plus three sets of coursework. Before July. Joy.
