Nah mine was from Bangladesh and we couldn't understand him Still the subject is p*** easy for GCSE. You fail it, you must be clinically dumb.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have your superior intellect, Tom.

I dunno. I wish I could still have a copy of the exam for you Nigel. It really was stupidly easy. Business Studies, was either for the people who didn't do Latin or the really big idiots who didn't care about school. Even the idiots passed.......

I'll take the compliment though

I did Business Studies GCSE btw.

 

[Highlander999]

It was harder in your day

I didn't take Business Studies as I felt it was a waste of time Seriously, it's just a mix of Accounting, Economics, and with a few topics like 'Marketing' and 'Motivation' tossed it. I took Eco, Accounts and Travel and Tourism (Which had one whole paper based entirely on Marketing). Business would have been useless for me. And I have a friend who took those three subjects + Business, he just kept telling me what a waste of time it was, and how everything he did there was repeated in either Eco, Accounts, or the Marketing part in TT.

And no one, as far as I know, got a B in Business if they prepared for the exam. It was supposedly wayyyy too easy.

Well at my school the clever kids did Economics A level and the wasters did Business Studies...

A level is college, not school. We're talking GCSE

I'm aware. I'm just assuming the same rule applies at A Level compared to GCSE.

 

[Highlander999]

Myself and Nigel wasters then, Colin?

Nah, you did it at GCSE
Anyway it wasn't just wasters...

 

[Highlander999]

Ha, well dodged

 

[barmyarmy]

What you've done is over-extrapolate like a tabloid journalist...
E.g. All blind people are barred from driving
Ergo: All people barred from driving are blind.

Good thing I am doing history then and not journalism

No idea, was about 4-5 years ago, can't remember that long ago. Mind you, I got a C+ whilst missing the last 7 months of school, so it can't be that difficult. My BTEC course is an A-Level and as the BTEC states, it's business, wouldn't say there are wasters on the course. Maybe a few, but they won't be finishing the course.

 

[Highlander999]

How does your BTEC work? Are you doing it at home or at a college?
