These exam skills videos bumped my grade up from 55 to 90 and i have never felt more confident in business studies. Thank you TakingTheBiz

[@TakingTheBiz]

That is a wonderful comment - thanks for taking the time to leave a message. However, if your marks have improved so dramatically it will have far more to do with your hard work and perseverance than any video I've uploaded. Well done on your success!

[@S-ds1br]

How did you do it and revise, please help me out,

[@madeehabaqir]

Due to the efforts of TakingTheBizz and this mans fantastic teaching ability i was able to get an A grade in AS 9609 Business Studies. Without a shadow of a doubt this man taught me all the techniques in 30 days, and did way better than my teacher could in 9months and that too for FREE. This man is a legend, and i salute you fam. Keep it up.

[@TakingTheBiz]

That is the most generous comment I've had in months - congrats on your excellent grade! However, I'm sure your A grade has far more to do with your hard work and commitment than any videos I've made. Good luck with your course next year.

I was in the position where I got a D grade in AS Business yet my knowledge was perfect. This video has been so helpful as I now know how to analyse questions. You explain things so well!

[@TakingTheBiz]

Wow! That's a really generous comment. I wish you every luck in your exams this Summer - I'm sure you can improve on a D grade, especially if your knowledge is good.

[@chohoe6533]

Your intro was almost the exact replica of what happened to me. I am fairly confident in my Business knowledge but I was unable put in a good chain of analysis. I didn't even know what it was until I watched the video and I got a D in business. I looked at my papers and my teacher said my writing skills are lacking. I will be retaking my Business IAL in coming May. I really do hope I can prove myself on this subject and thank you very much to you for uploading these videos. I am very upset that I didn't find your channel before my first exam. I will give my all and will update on my score in about 5 - 6 months.

[@chohoe6533]

I got my results tow days ago and I am proud to say that I got A in both Unit 1 and 2. I went from 56/100 to 90 and 92 out of 100 in the span of 3 months. Of course I had to put in a lot of effort but all of your videos did a lot for me. Your videos made me realize how far behind I was from getting an A. For that Thank you very much.

This is the best exam tip video I've ever watched, thanks a lotttt!! And sir if the analysis part is for 4 marks, how many points should I give because I'd have to follow through each point right so that itself would fetch me a lot of marks... So how many points exactly?

[@milomcginnity]

7:32 really came from home

[@CM-tp6un]

Hi sir, how many chains should i aim for 9 markers, 12 markers, 16-20 markers and 25 markers. Thanks for the constant replies you are helping a lot sir i appreciate it

[@TakingTheBiz]

I'd always advise two points/chains for an AQA student. The trick is to make the chains of analysis longer as the questions increase in marks and add conclusion for the longer questions. Not sure if you've seen this exemplar, but even on a 25 marker, note how there are still only two points and chains of analysis. I think this is a very useful resources www.tutor2u.net/business/reference/competitive-advantage-in-mass-markets-aqa-a-level-business-paper1-example-25-mark-essay

[@CM-tp6un]

TakingTheBiz thank you but I meant in terms of logical chains of analysis, because I tend to run out of time because I go overboard.

[@CM-tp6un]

do you add 5 chains for every question like per point ?

[@TakingTheBiz]

Yes - 5 for each point. Aim for 5 (remember, 5 is just an arbitrary number I tell my students - this is not something the exam board have suggested), but if you can make chains longer than that then go for it, especially once a question is worth 20+. Also, don't be afraid to address both positive and negative consequences in your chains. For example, in a chain you might make a point, give a chain of positive impacts and then give a 'however, it could also lead to these negatives...'

[@jackcoombes2930]

in terms of 5 chains would that be 5 it leads to so 1 thing leads to this which means this, this, this , this and this being 5 then another being another 5

should i be giving a chains of analysis to each of the main points?

[@YaseenAli-mi4wr]

Thank you so much. Truly made a difference!

[@unknown4822]

I presume you could say that decreased capacity utilisation is an effect of less productivity? cheers

[@nishanthshanthakumar6392]

So if i take a point and continue to give chains of analysis like you said upto to 5 next impacts it could have and should i do the same for all the analytical ideas i gues it will be pretty long how many marks do you think will be awarded if one single ideas is alone developed to an extent will i get a all the analysis marks available for that question by only exploring one single analytical idea?

[@snehalimbu8120]

I still have one question though that when analysis is asked for something particular like , analyse the benefits or analyse the negative impacts . When they specifically mention what we have to analyse how should we be framing the answer? Should we stick with just the benefits or limitations asked in the question or add the opposites?

[@johnwallace1950]

I like your videos, they're professional and clear, perhaps animations could be added to improve the quality of videos however. Your previous videos mentioned that you have made a video on conclusions, have you issued this yet?

[@CM-tp6un]

Hi sir, for some questions if they ask why Asos has better market capitalisation would you use this logical chain of analysis even even if it doesn't fully link with the question but then use the hook to make it relevant. I don't sometimes it feels as if I go off in a tangent, and just randomly link back to the question.

[@TakingTheBiz]

I think it is important that you give a chain of analysis that is linked to the point you are making - which in turn is relevant to the question that was asked. The problem of going off on tangents is a common one, but one you should try to avoid. Try to show the examine a real clear line of logic between the question, your point and the chain of consequences you offer.

[@pal7072]

Would these chains of analysis be A03 or A04 marks? @TakingTheBiz Thanks

I don't teach OCR myself, so your teacher could probably better advise, though I would say for questions that are evaluative you need two separate points with chains of analysis that are 5 links long.

[@TakingTheBiz]

For a typical question I would make two points - one point for and one against. I would try to write chains of analysis where I aim for five links in the chain.

Hi, I am sitting a business studies exam tomorrow and I was just wondering, if a 8 mark question is giving me 4 marks for analysis would it be a good idea for me to do 4 chains of analysis or only do 2 analysis points and then do 2 chains of analysis?

[@TakingTheBiz]

I'm not sure which exam board you follow, so check this advice with your teacher, but I wouldn't advise 4 separate chains of analysis in an 8 mark question. Two points, each analysed well, should be sufficient. Hope this helps. Good luck in the exam!

[@birdangel91]

So how many ideas must we write. Must we create chain of analysis on one idea? or must we write as many ideas as we can and create chain for each? please reply

[@TakingTheBiz]

Depends on your exam board. Two ideas for shorter essays should suit most boards. 3-4 for longer essays, depending on your exam board. Avoid long lists of points.

Quick question, once you've analysed one of the point, how will you connect them with the other 3 points you have

[@TakingTheBiz]

Unless I was answering a 25 mark question, I wouldn't have another 3 points. I'd have one well analysed point agreeing with the question/setting out one side of the argument and a well analysed point setting out an alternative side of the argument. Then I'd have a conclusion.

[@louisindradjaja2535]

TakingTheBiz what if the question is about advantageS and disadvantageS (12 pts)

[@TakingTheBiz]

Which qualification & exam board are you studying?

[@louisindradjaja2535]

As Level, Paper 1/2 or A level, Paper 1/2 (Cambridge)

[@TakingTheBiz]

If you are studying the OCR A level then for 12 mark questions (which are evaluative on the OCR spec) a 3 paragraph approach is suitable. If you are studying the Cambridge Nationals in Business or Business and Enterprise then this is not a qualification I am familiar with so I couldn't offer advice on how to structure answers.

[@benjaminhillbrookes4641]

quick question, you know the aqa paper 2 paper what would you advise revising as the paper is based on case studys?

[@TakingTheBiz]

Such a hard question to answer - it's based on case studies but they really could ask any topic from the spec. Perhaps topics that were used for the longer questions on paper 1 are less likely to come up but that's about it. I did notice that topics like marketing and HR were quite lightly used in paper 1 and there's always likely to be something on ratios when there are case studies, as AQA have the scope to provide more financial data for you to use - but it really is anybody's guess, which is what makes three synoptic papers such a tough form of assessment.
