Keep each paragraph anchored to case details for application marks (AO2), then add a short evaluative sentence to show AO4.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thong-tin-dai\">\n<p class=\"tit-dai\"><strong>What does AJIM stand for in Business Studies?<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"chi-tiet-thong-tin\">AJIM stands for <strong>Answer, Justification, It depends, Most important<\/strong>. It is a decision-writing discipline: You state your recommendation, justify it using the case, introduce a condition that could change the decision, then weigh one decisive factor to reach a final judgment.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thong-tin-dai\">\n<p class=\"tit-dai\"><strong>How many paragraphs are needed for a 12 mark question?<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"chi-tiet-thong-tin\">Aim for 3\u20134 paragraphs, with 4 being the safest for balance and AO4 clarity. Two paragraphs build your main case, one tests the alternative, and one delivers a final judgment.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thong-tin-dai\">\n<p class=\"tit-dai\"><strong>How to write a concluding judgment in IGCSE Business?<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"chi-tiet-thong-tin\">Make the decision explicit, then state the \u201cmost important\u201d criterion for this business (cash flow, competitiveness, capacity, reputation, stakeholder pressure). Add one \u201cit depends\u201d risk that you have already discussed, so the judgment sounds realistic rather than absolute.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thong-tin-dai\">\n<p class=\"tit-dai\"><strong>What is the difference between analysis and evaluation marks?<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"chi-tiet-thong-tin\">Analysis marks (AO3) reward a developed causal chain that explains impacts. Evaluation marks (AO4) reward prioritising factors, weighing trade-offs, and delivering a justified final judgment grounded in the case.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thong-tin-dai\">\n<p class=\"tit-dai\"><strong>Can I get full marks without a recommendation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"chi-tiet-thong-tin\">It is unlikely, because \u201cevaluate\u201d expects a decision or judgement, not a neutral summary. Even when the best answer is conditional, you still need a final judgment such as \u201cOption A is better if X, but if Y then Option B.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thong-tin-dai\">\n<p class=\"tit-dai\"><strong>How long should a 12 mark response take to write?<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"chi-tiet-thong-tin\">Budget about 20\u201325 minutes, with most of that time spent on applied chains of reasoning and weighing.
