    For 1a the mark scheme calculated all the ratio analysis for the whole table provided, in the exam I would imagine this would take about 10 minutes to do. Would you advise me to do what the mark scheme and do all the calculations or just pick a couple of years to do? Thank you in advance.

    If you were doingmthosmquestion in the exam you would not knowmwhat the marking scheme was or what the answer contained. You have to address the question as best you can. It lists contextual feathres such as time and scope and you need to look for epinformation in the performance data which provides evidence about these features.

    I don’t think that calculating every ration under the sun in the hope that something useful turns up is the best approach.
