How does everyone go about memorizing all the content in 3\4 Business Management?

Personally, i make my notes and revise them. After that, i'll do a heap load of practice sacs or checkpoints questions.

I feel like business management is one of those subjects where there are only a few questions they can really ask regarding a topic and therefore the questions are quite repetitive.

In terms of key definitions, if i'm struggling to remember a definition of a term then i'll go to last resort and make cue cards, which seems to do the trick.

Goodluck.

Thanks for that. In regards to practice sacs , how many weeks prior to a sac would you start spamming them?

I generally make summary notes of all the things I'll need to remember around 9 or 10 days prior to the sac.
I'll give myself around 3 or 4 days to remember as much I can including definitions, key terms, etc. before I do a practice sac. I'll try to hand in the practice sac and get feedback from my teacher a couple days before the exam.
I don't really rewrite things or try to remember or learn new things a couple days before the sac, i'll just go over my knowledge and try to fill in any gaps that may exist.

In terms of the best way to remember everything i find that breaking things down into smaller parts, queue cards, using acronyms,diagrams & lists really help.

I usually make flashcards for the definitions and test myself regularly. Occasionally, I will do a large mind map to see how everything links together, sometimes I make acronyms to remember concepts that may have a few steps or multiple parts to them.
Coming up to a sac I write out revision notes and go over them, I also do a few practice sac's and give at least one to my teacher a couple days before to get some feedback.

Even though i don't do BM, we are learning in 3+4 Psychology that in order to memorize well, give terms/definition meaning, the more meaningful something is, the better you'll remember it. Doing mind maps and acronyms are a  perfect example of what i just said. You can somehow make something funny about a term (don't know if BM is even funny at all), or relate it to personal experience which will enhance your memory of the information.

Generally the best way for me is to do as many practice sacs as I can, I usually stick to about 4 different ones, and do one every 2 days, get my teacher to mark them the next day, then I repeat them again. Doing the same questions is a good way to revise. I start revising about 2/3 weeks before a sac

how do you guys remember all the features advantages and disadvantages of management structures and styles, after I'm done with one and start with another it just leaves my head.!!

Hey Skyline I see that you posted this question in another thread. If you could please not post the same question on multiple threads that would be greatly appreciated.

how do you guys remember all the features advantages and disadvantages of management structures and styles, after I'm done with one and start with another it just leaves my head.!!

Think about that one feature that distinguishes structures from each other. You know the main feature of a matrix structure is that people work in TEAMS. So what does it mean if they work in teams? So an advantage of working in a team is the increase in innovation and ideas cause you're sharing ideas etc, however,  working in a team means conflict may arise due to so many ideas coming in.

Tbh I wouldn't try to rote learn any of this stuff because I had a look at past exams and there's always a case study you need to relate it back to, so you're better off understanding why the advantage is an advantage etc. Just pick out the most obvious ones and explain it well and you're good to go!

Btw a matrix is a hybrid of functional amd divisonal so make sure you choose adv and disadv's that don't sound too similar to each other cause they may ask you to choose the most appropriate structure and distinguish structures

IThanks .

I try and understand it but it doesn't work, I try some questions and It always leads me to open my notes to get more ideas.
