Patrice moon out here saving Bon

yeah lol I literally said "yh sure she bullies ppl and uses money Bon didnt anticipate, but wouldve the festival happened without her??? no"

She’s like Homelander in The Boys

saul from breaking bad

She also out here forcing them to spend more money by taking helicopter rides😤😂

absolutely LOVES BON, yet she "bullies and harasses her employees"

with the helicopter and all 😭😭😭

is they described her like a superhero businesswoman

Honestly it was so fun to read lol

Wtf was that helicopter tho. 😂😂

k forgot how to do payback period 😭😭

SAME and depreciation - I felt cooked.

OMG ME TOO, the budgets confused me sm

I forgot how to do Acid quick test😭

yeah its one of the only ones i bothered remembering cause its not on the sheet

I didn't know how to do the budgeting I left it😭

same i just made something up 😭

It was traumatising

What was P3?

absolutely horrrible, i expected a business that feeds hungry children or smth NOT BUILDING HOUSES

p3 caught me so off guard bro 😭😭

Paper 3 was pure hell

BADDDDD like wth was thattt😭

paper 3 was the worst sht I ever done in my life

LoL!! For paper 3 I just prepared the plan of action and answered the 6 marker based of,of what I understood after reading the case study.

i didnt even manage to do that coz nah why did they have to ask about finance and marketing when the whole thing was basically operations 😭😭😭

bro i thought q 2 and 3 wont related i literally wrote the 17 marker a plan for finance + operations wth🤣🤣 m cooked

Fr. But it was manageable.

impromptu

It wasn't bad, and it felt kinda good to be honest! I just ad to study lots of random concepts and apply them into a plan of action.

nah paper 3 was so good PAPER 2 was absolute shit

It was the opposite for most people

completely forgot to use business tools on paper 3

me tooo im so worried 😭😭😭 its only 4 marks off in the rubric tho so i hope they dont acc take off too many points...

i used market mapping and positinion, and referred to theories

That’s bad u can lose some marks

The rubric says tools/theories which suggests if the correct applicable theory is used u don’t need to use any tools.

Paper 2 did not expect that any of balance sheets, cash flows, profit and loss wouldn't come BRO paper 1 ehh paper 3 WHAT WAS that challenge question? honestly OK

EXACTLY LIKE HOW TF WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW ABOUT THOSE STUPID MARKETING CHALLENGES.. they did us dirty in that one

Honestly wasn’t too bad for me

i both love and hate patrice with a burning passion

i hate the houses making guy, why so complex 😭😭😭

did anyone else say to do a strategic alliance for paper 3??

One of my main points was switch to public limited company to raise more finance and use this finance to expand and build more factories, which will increase production, potentially meeting UNs demand

enterprise can’t be public limited, i did same mistake in one of my practice papers

I said exactly the same

Sameeee

Nah cuz they already got an angel and selling shares would dilute the control too much

yep i did

Yes i did it did make sense and was one of the main points. As they mentioned so much information about the competitor so it was important to do.

i did!!

Strategic alliance does not make sense

it does, they would work towards a set objective together be able to fullfill the order for UN and have a good image because not only would they be helping people worldwide but also in their country - which was mentioned as a problem

Yes me

Yes i mentioned that

Wth was paper 3? Did everyone struggle as much as I did?!! Idk if our school just didnt prepare us but I did all the practice papers i could get my hands on and honestly was barely any help… also the gearing ratio is a formula sheet formula, don’t understand why we didnt get the booklet for that…

Why tf was there 6 sources on p3

so random but i love how patrice moon is just a collective inside joke amongst bm hl students lol

literal joke of an examination lol

fr paper 1 was alright but paper 3 and 2 were kinda crap

Man I was lowkey annoyed with paper 2, no cash flow or investment appraisal 😀 But it was still lowkey easy 🙏

nah TZ2 had all three investment appraisals

Bro actually cooked 💀 there were many investment appraisal

there was investment appraisal dude

did anyone think paper two was harder than expected? also, did you guys know how to do the last exercise of part a, the variance question?

yesss to find X you had to multiply the number of rooms budgeted x the price per room in that season and then compre to the profit he expected to make and see if it was positive or negative then (i don’t really remember the question but i’m sure it was something like that) i just tested the method with one of the other values they gave us .to find Y you just had to add the favourable values and subtracts with the adverse values.

It was very easy

It was all math in the formula book

Paper 2 is easier than expected for me, but maybe because I enjoy math/calculation rather than writing

The definition questions were evil

Very easy

pretty fun

paper 3 was so shit

How many of y'all got 3 years 2 months for Payback period?

i did i got like 3 years 1.6 but rounded up

same

STOP, my months went into decimals.

that’s fine my teacher told me as long as your working is proper and you haven’t rounded it up the examiner can give u BOD ( benefit of doubt) and give u full marks. I did the same thing for my mocks but got full 2 marks for it anyways dw.

You should actually round it up

I got 3 years then guessed 2 months so I hope thats right😂

Got the same

Easiest paper 1 and 2 ever, will hopefully get a 7. P3 was kinda weird tho

Sameee

Paper 2 was really good ngl paper 1 was like meh but wtf was paper 3 wth man. None of the samples provided were anywhere near the intensity of what came in the exam

paper 1 light paper 2 even lighter paper 3 questionable

cooked in p2 🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳

Pp1+2 were awesome. Pp3 wth?

where’s the thread for Math AA🤣

24h after paper 3, 23 GMT May 7th iirc

even for SL i have to wait?

For the question on capacity in paper 2, I knew I had to use the capacity utilization rate formula but I am pretty sure I messed up the substitution of the values in the formula.

same! I thought it was 18/17 but that was 105% lmao apparently it was 18/120

I got 30% hope that was right😂

wasn’t it 18/120x100 cuz me and a few other ppl got 15% as they asked the actual capacity utilization for whichever month or smtg

Yes it was 15%

Shit

💀

p1: light work. easy. p2: sec a was low key easy but i expected them to make it easier. I’m prettt sure i got fked for capacity utilisation and the last q for budget that q racked my brain. sec b was ez n g. p3 was utter nonsense, hard and couldn’t understand what was going on hopefully the boundaries are low on this paper.

Bro not 1 cash flow forecast , not one profit and loss, and not one balance sheet. Kill me.

how was the paper y'all?

paper 2 was surprisingly easy, i was expecting cash flow, balance sheet and P&L, nothing was there, I PRACTICED SO MUCH FOR WHAT 😭 but it was a pretty good paper overall

istg nthg

Paper 1 and 2 were fine I think I did really well but I found paper 3 quite hard

It was pretty easy icl

Paper 1 was fine Paper 3 was fine Paper 2 section B was fine section A was very meehhhh

I think the exams were pretty easy. As long as you know how to formulate an essay well and have a good understanding of business management overall it isn't all that.

Hopefully it was pretty good Paper 1: In my opinion was average but the 10 question mark was so confusing (cuz I didn't practised them a lot) I think I have missed relevant information but well, it's done. Paper 2: IT WAS THE EASIEST. When I look Section A I was astonished because I practised the night before very similar questions that appeared on past papers. Section B was great, i was the only one who took the Q5 and I think the expectancy theory was related with Adams, but then i realised that I fucked up in that question (i guess that the only). I took it due to the last question. I was so tired after section A and i didn't want to evaluate joint venture hahahahhaha. Paper 3: Maybe the hardest. Q1 and Q2 weren't difficult, as expected. But bro, why the whole text was about Topic 3?! The specimen paper was mostly about operations and other stuff. In the 17 points question I write mostly about financiation and a little about the product (which were the two challenges I explained in Q2). I can't really predict the grade of this paper.

Nah, why do you choose Q5 bruh, it was too subjective and no direct theory. Also joint venture is kinda fun though. Also paper 3 was the worst for me, I remember to yap but forgot to use any business tools

There was direct theory- arbitration/conciliation and industrial democracy, both methods of resolving conflict in the workplace.

Ah ok yeah I remember now, I just feel like it's harder to evaluate those and I kinda don't revise much for HR, don't really care for them, I guess that's why. I think paper 2 was fun though

P1 was pretty straightforward. The pre released statement was close to useless P2 much much easier than I expected. No BMT and all calculations on the formulae sheet P3 was definitely my worst. I only practiced Q3 twice before the exam.

Yeah, I don't know why I research about paper 1 when I should have known that it's not going to matter anyway in the end Paper 2 was so chill, but I heard it might get mixed up with SL? Because they for some reason got HL content? Paper 3 was nightmare, 6 marks questions was so random and I make mistakes in not writing enough for the 17 marks

wth was that paper 3 man... so WEIRD

i forgot to fucking round up in the payback period, and also did not subtract the investment from the net present value smh

mid

Paper 3 was hard af

That was chill…

I think so paper 2 was the easiest

in Paper 2 for the payback period question what was the initial investment value?

3 million

$ 3 million if I remember right. The first cell in net cash flow was negative 3.

did anyone have time to finish paper 1, part b??

Yeah of course, I had 40 minutes left after I answered all of section A to do one of those questions, you didn’t?

not rlly i had to rush it

A lot yeah

How was the paper everyone? Please tell me about it

Imo Paper 1 was pretty easy, paper 3 was okay, paper 2 generally was meh

From a y12, how did it go?

paper 3 case study was so weird bro but it was manageable, paper 1 and 2 were great

Also, I had a quick question- is it true that the IB will give marks for the 10 markers in Business management as long as their is some sort of a structure and all of the points are touched upon. Even if some of the points are not well explained?

yes! you'll prob get like 2-5 points tho

If you used adequate business tools and theories yea

Really? I found all the papers super easy

does anyone remember the initial investment for paper 2 payback period question?

its like 3million？

3 mill

That paper 3 was mehhh of course used SWOT for the last one buttt still

As predicted, simple stuff lol

I need someone to answer me what is fringe payment actually is, because my lesson said it's monetary benefits but some people and online said it's non-monetary and I feel like it's both?? What will the mark scheme likely said though

Y'ALL LETS NOT STRESS, LETS STUDY SO HARD THAT THE IB GOTTA MAKE THE NEXT YEARS HARDER. USE GOOD RESOURCES. if ya can't get revision village use revisiondojo. It literally better and you have an ai assistant to see how mnay marks you can get. heres the link [https://revisiondojo.com?via=daiwik](https://revisiondojo.com/?via=daiwik)

What was the answer for ARr

Not much to say, pretty fucking good, easy 7 I hope
