Business Awareness Resit - 66% Achieved!

4 marks off a pass for Business Awareness!

Booked again for the end of this month. I feel like I knew the answers, but maybe my exam technique wasn’t good enough?

Where is the best place to start revising now?! I did this exam 8 weeks ago now, so don’t need to go through all of the material like it’s a new subject, but will need a refresher on it all and then to do as many exam questions as possible.

How should I split my revision time? Does anyone have any further materials I can use?

Thanks!

Well I passed mine with 80%. You need to see where you messed up on. Sone people struggle with the English, on the PESTLE and/or task 6.
I struggled a lot on cloud accounting.

I just used the AAT practice assessments to be honest. They’re maybe more on Acorn. Only 2 passed in my class so don’t worry.

I would recommend watching YouTube clips under Business Awareness under First Intuition. There is information with follow up questions after.

Thanks @anony123 - the questions I scored lowest on was 2,4,6 which were the written. Obviously I could have done better on the other questions and want to make sure I cover all of the material again to get more marks! I have 4 weeks until the exam, and that's 15 chapters, my plan of action is to go through one chapter a night, then the relevant exam questions until I get them all right, then the last two weeks I will solely complete the practice assessments on AAT and Acorn, and some written question practice.

I was only 4 marks off so I think I have a good understanding of the chapters it is just a case of refreshing my memory now.

Well the AAT paper from my opinion is a lot harder than the practice ones. Task 2 is on PESTLE, task 4 I think is on money laundering and task 6 is the big one. Just concentrate maybe on your English, and how you get things across.

I think I got like
17/20
14/18
11/18
6/10
8/10
10/13
12/12

I’m sure you will improve. Just believe in yourself.

As you have taken the exam recently I would focus on the Examiners report.
