Enterprise
|
How to revise in your subject? |
To revise effectively in business enterprise complete tasks on the key financial indicators. Once the three key formula are imbedded (revenue, total costs and profit) move on the more complex financial components of cash flow forecasting, balance sheets, breakeven, profit and loss accounts and liquidity ratios. Understanding how to construct and then interpret them is the key to success. Once you feel that knowledge is imbedded use the revision guide to practice the longer answer questions which require an opinion. Being able to answer why a business makes a choice on finance and promotion is the key to unlocking the higher grades. Use the models that will be in the revision guide and the ones I created for class lessons. Study the examiner’s report after the mock to acquire and revise the skills that are need to achieve high grades in the high mark opinion questions. |

To revise effectively in health and social care it all about practice as we know what the questions will be in the exam just not what case study those questions will be based on. Once you have understood the content of the 6 key questions it’s about practising the exam technique with a wide range of differing case studies. Use the wide range of case studies I have created to acquire a range of opinions and suggestions to give you confidence to be able to answer a range of patient needs.
