Hello my fellow bus.man students :)
I was just wondering how you guys answer questions on the exam, just want to see if i use the correct formula lol
I just, define, explain, provide an example...
Oh and I was wondering when they ask for 2 KPIs to evaluate organisational performance, do you give one financial and non-financial KPI? My teacher said I should give two non-financial KPIs... but I dont know...
-
Well, I answer questions with the idea that I want to demonstrate my knowledge of the course to the examiner/teacher. Defining, explaining, and then providing an example, I think, is an excellent way of doing just that.
I would provide one financial and one non-financial, for the exact same reason above, so that the examiner knows that you are aware that Key Performance Indicators can be both financial and non-financial and that you were able to provide a relevant example.
Oh, and it's Biz Mgmt not Bus Man :P

NO ITS NOT BIZ MGMT OK LOL!!
But i agree with everything else :)
-
There is probably more time than required for the Biz Mgmt (:P) exam too, allowing you to fine tune/mentally plan your answers, etc. to get full/close to full marks by appropriately defining, explaining, and providing an example.

Yeah i was able to finish the trial exam at school in about an hour and ten minutes, which then gave me time to elaborate on my answers, which made me finish the exam completely in about an hour and a half... i found most of my planning was done during reading time :) hehe
BUS.MAN =]

I just say "business"..."bus. man" sounds wanky.

It's ok dw, the more you study the easier it will be on the exam :)
In reading time you should be planning out your answers, believe me 15 mins for the bus man exam is more than enough reading time.
You don't have to finish the exam in the amount of time i did... i got like 96-97% for my trial exam, lost a few marks coz i read a question wrong... so dont rush like i did lol ...
-
Hehe, I tend to look at the case studies and questions and go "that's easy", then sit there for like 10 minutes. Then it comes writing time and it seems so much harder :(. Doesn't help that I'm not too fast at writing.

Seems like someone needs to study, and do some practice exams :)

Na I don't think study's the problem ;). I got 98% in my trial exam so that was pretty good/lucky :P. Anyways I used all of my reading time and I finished with 38 minutes left! I just hope that this years exam is about as long as the 2005 exam.

-

Thanks, once i get my psych exam out of the way, its busines business business woooooooooooooo! lol
-
the business exam should be nice this year for all of you
but yes, as odette has said in alot of other bulletin thingy
remember the difference between skills and roles
especially POLC
if your getting good marks on the practice exams and dont screw up exams (unlike myself) then you will get over 40 easy peasy
-
If you can't establish the difference between skills and roles then don't bother, it's quite simple. I look forward to a lot of dummies screwing this exam up for my benefit
-
Haha, yeh, same here. The grade distribution for last year gave me confidence (pretty sure it was 13% that got A+).

Well that's true, but some people get cocky and don't read the full question and end up writing the wrong thing...

no specific area...i generally know my stuff. its more knowing what the question is asking and choosing which points to include and leave out...you cant study that :(
-
Oh I see, well then you just need to expose yourself to as many exam style questions as you can, highlight/underline keywords, break down the question, and link to an area of study... i can help you with that if you like :)
