Mine had:
– Talent management programme
– Data breaches
– Integrated reporting
– Diversifying the boardSBL is supposed to be an exam where it leans heavily towards application, however, today it felt very much like a comprehension test. It didn’t feel very difficult which has left me with the feeling of completely taking the wrong approach. A lot of the links that could be made to NCTech were generic links that would apply to 99% of businesses. I dunno, maybe I approached it incorrectly but there weren’t many occasions where I could use the exhibits and the pre-seen to make a strong and specific argument aimed at NCTech and instead felt like quite generic points.
Another thing I found was none of the questions naturally lent themselves to a model in the syllabus. Things like culture and external environment obviously have models that you can structure your answer with but my questions really had nothing obvious that could be used.
I thought section A and B were okay-ish, except I personally struggled with the last section B question which was to do with learning rates.
Section C was fine, except the 10-marker about the gears and brakes. Maybe I was using an out-dated workbook or missed a section or maybe I just couldn’t work it out, but I genuinely didn’t even know where to start. It wasn’t a complicatedly worded question but it went straight over my head on what they wanted from me. I wouldn’t usually care after an exam but if anyone had the same question I am genuinely intrigued at what your approach was and what you interpreted the question as.
