Why students lose marks
Common reasons why capable students struggle to hit the top bands despite knowing the content.
Generic Definitions
Starting answers with textbook definitions instead of applying directly to the business case.
Weak Analysis Chains
Stating a point but failing to explain the “consequences” (connective analysis) fully.
Unjustified Evaluation
Making a final decision without weighing the pros/cons or short/long term impacts specifically.
Poor Time Management
Spending too long on low-mark questions and rushing the 20-mark essays.
