Roughly how much case study is 'too much' ?

If you case study becomes the main focal point of the paragraph or essay and you have no mention of the question or topic. Then it becomes too much and unnecessary.
E.g. I once read an essay which started with "The case study I chose is KFC" and proceeded to tell me the history of how KFC was formed and didn't address the question until the last sentence of each paragraph. I would definitely say this is an extreme case of too much case study; but u get the point --> your case study should be there to back up your argument and the syllabus not the other way round.

Hope this helps :)

Do you only need 1 case study, or would it be a good idea to have a second one up your sleeve when going into an exam?

Hey Thebarman,

I'm assuming you are talking about the extended response. For this, the syllabus requires you to use case studies in your extended response - hence you must use more than one. Some seminars I've been to have all said that you could use 2 and still get full marks. So really, I would advise to incorporate more than one business into your answers.

For my own preparation, I couldn't be bothered memorising a case study for each dot point. Yes they help you understand the content but I could not remember each case study. So I just made them up within the exam; structuring it in a way that would explain my point better than if there was a case study I had prepared and was thus inflexible.

Hope this helps :)
