Im rank 22/77, but I'm fairly sure I got 87 - 91% depending on how harsh they are at marking. Band 6 possible?

Definitely possible

What do you mean by a high 80? Because I'll be fine with anything above 87 lol

Last year an 82 went to an 87, so you might just scrape!

how come the 74 did not change is it the lower the mark the less change of it aligning
thanks jamon

Can someone explain how they got the answers for 28e (ii), and 29c (i), cause I think i got different answers to the ones put up and I'm not sure how I went wrong. thanks

Hey MA165....!!
all i did was....
19900 - 16300 = $3600... is the value it has depreciated by...
3600/19900 x 100 = 18%
... does this make sense..??
also how did you find business studies today?
