I'm so sorry that, due to a close family illness, I'm not able to join everyone live ahead of Paper 3. Fingers crossed for everyone for a good paper, and perhaps more importantly, a summer to relax and make great memories after all your hard work. It has been a pleasure for Graham, myself and our team to be with you for some of the AQA Business journey. [Jim]

Thank you so much Jim and Graham for all the help and support you have given to me and many others for the past 4 years! Every live session has been very fun and helpful and all the videos are informative and easy to understand. Thanks so much again and I hope your family is doing ok xx
You are very kind. What a lovely comment. Your contributions to the livestreams were very much appreciated. Keeping everything crossed for a good finish to Business tomorrow
Thank you for all of the videos and support you've provided us all with during this Business A-Level exam season. We are all really grateful for your advice and these videos, Jim and Graham. All the best to you both.
Hi Jim and Graham, thank you so much for the videos. I achieved an A in business, just missing an A* by 7 marks. I remember getting a C in my Y13 January mocks, fast forward to today with this amazing grade, I’m off to my first choice university because of this grade. Many thanks!!
Thank you so much guys. You have assisted me so much through my A level and have improved my grades. I was working at a grade C at the start of A levels and after watching your videos, I was able to get an A in my mocks. I hope to achieve those grade for my a level and thank you so much for taking us along this journey. The paper went by quite well and was shocked to see that the case study was only a page long with 3 appendices. Other than that, I hope you both do well teaching students over the years and am sad that I must part ways 😢. Thank you!
So pleased it went well. And thank you for your kind words. Please let us know how you get on in August. But before that, have a wonderful summer. [Jim]
thank you so so much for all the videos and live streams, they really helped me understand many topics which I would never before. Jim and Graham you guys are legends and I hope you keep doing these lives for the future A-level students. All the best!!
Hi Jim and Graham, just wanted to thank you guys for your help. Your livestreams and videos have been immeasurably useful (more so even than my teachers) and I achieved an A* as a result. I’m now off to uni to study Law.
@@tutor2u-official I’m a year 14 student who has only started watching since September and I cannot thank you enough for what you’ve done. I highly recommend that every a level student studying business come to this channel because you’ve turned my Cs to As!🤩🙌
Basically the same in terms of required structure: balanced arguments + a fully jusitified judgement (conclusion). The 24 marker in Paper 3 is an "open question" so a top level response has to move beyond the Paper 3 case study to address other business situations and contexts.
The case study is all you need for Questions 1,2 3,4 &5. Question 6 is an open question (e.g. all businesses), so there is an expectation that you will bring in contrasting examples from other industries, markets, businesses etc
12 markers: 1 para only if the scope of the question is singlular (e.g. "analyse how". Two if plural. For 16, 20 & 24 markers, you need at least two paras for your arguments (1 for + 1 Against) + a conclusion
For Business paper 3 is business formulas memorisation essential? I havent really touched formulas in a while due to other A level exams + Paper 3 is very essay based
Worth refreshing your memory of key formulae, such as financial ratios, decision trees etc. There will be some quant skills in Paper 3, and you might be asked to use data in appendices as part of your answer
Unfortunately not - which is why I've had to record this video. I'm currently at a hospice looking after a close family member, so not able to prepare or deliver a live Q&A session today. All the best tomorrow. Thinking of everyone. [Jim]
You dont have to. You can get straight into the first argument if you wish. Nothing lost if you dont do one, but they can be useful to help "set the scene" for your final conclusion (judgement) - which is by far the most important paragraph!

30 seconds ago is crazy
procastinatinating at its peak
Can't argue with that. Don't often get a
what's the difference between 24 markers and 25 markers
The amount of marks needed for the paper to add up correctly
Basically the same in terms of required structure: balanced arguments + a fully jusitified judgement (conclusion). The 24 marker in Paper 3 is an "open question" so a top level response has to move beyond the Paper 3 case study to address other business situations and contexts.
do we need to bring in real world examples to back up our cases ? or is the case study simply enough
The case study is all you need for Questions 1,2 3,4 &5. Question 6 is an open question (e.g. all businesses), so there is an expectation that you will bring in contrasting examples from other industries, markets, businesses etc
Do you add context from the case study in all paragraphs of the 20 and 24 marker or do some need to be about other businesses from your own knowledge?
20-marker: just use the case study. 24 marker: open question, so use the case study & then bring in contrasting business examples
what is the difference between 16, 20, and 24 markers in terms of how many paragraphs I would do for them? thanks
None. Each can be answered in full with three paragraphs. One argument for + one argument against + a fully justified judgement (conclusion)
@@tutor2u-official thanks! so why is there such big differences in marks? more context needed per question?
@@AWild3kuLAppeared yup
@@AWild3kuLAppeared 24 + 20 markers need an extra chain of analysis or 2 (so 4-5 chains instead of 3) in each paragraph. this is AO3 btw
Can you give the structure for each question for example 12 markers how many paragraphs are you meant to do, 25 how many for how many against etc
12 markers: 1 para only if the scope of the question is singlular (e.g. "analyse how". Two if plural. For 16, 20 & 24 markers, you need at least two paras for your arguments (1 for + 1 Against) + a conclusion
For Business paper 3 is business formulas memorisation essential? I havent really touched formulas in a while due to other A level exams + Paper 3 is very essay based
Worth refreshing your memory of key formulae, such as financial ratios, decision trees etc. There will be some quant skills in Paper 3, and you might be asked to use data in appendices as part of your answer
there is no paper three warm up?
Unfortunately not - which is why I've had to record this video. I'm currently at a hospice looking after a close family member, so not able to prepare or deliver a live Q&A session today. All the best tomorrow. Thinking of everyone. [Jim]
@@tutor2u-officialsending my thoughts jim mate
Do the 20 or 24 markers need an introduction?
You dont have to. You can get straight into the first argument if you wish. Nothing lost if you dont do one, but they can be useful to help "set the scene" for your final conclusion (judgement) - which is by far the most important paragraph!
got an A , thanks for the help. i really thought i was geting a C
Amazing news - well done!
