Hi
It my 4th attempt on P3 exam (previous score 42). I have done several mock papers both interim and final assessment papers with Kaplan and the feedback for the first assessment paper was “too brief, develop the points’ . So I used this comment to prepare for the second mock paper and developed my points. The feedback for the second papers was “generate more points”. I feel frustrated because when doing the paper under time, its hard to generate lots of points AT THE SAME TIME developing them. I can do one or the other eg, generate many points but brief OR generate few points but developing the points as well. My points are normally 2 to 3 lines. Im confused what to do in the exam. Please could someone help me? I can send my answers to a mock paper for you to see where I am going wrong if your leave your email here. Thank you.November 30, 2011 at 6:28 am #90380Points of about 2 – 3 lines seem not bad. Perhaps try for two sentences. So, in a question if you are told that interest rates are going up, you could say something like:
“Interest rates are forecast to rise. This company sells capital goods so a rise in interest rates is likely to have a major adverse effect on sales.”
IN other words:
1st sentence = what the PESTEL/SWOT/5 forces point it
2ns sentence = what the effect of that is on the company in the scenario (and why) - AuthorPosts
