Exams over for my classes!

Just to say I enjoyed teaching both my Higher Administration and Higher/Int 2 Business Management pupils and my lovely small cohort of Standard Grade Admin.

I think the papers looked very fair and I hope you all did yourself justice.

I hope you gained knowledge and skills which will help you where you go after school. And please ask me for a reference as I really did enjoy this year.

So I wish you all good luck.

Higher Business Management - Exam Banker Questions

The following topics are ones that regularly come up in exams. There is no guarantee they will ALL come up but I feel they are good questions that are often asked and to be honest you should be maximising these.

So if you have a chance to gain 5 or 6 marks from one of these topics you should be aiming for the full mark.


Product Life Cycle
Stakeholders – Influence
Quality Methods (TQM, Benchmarking etc)
Job, Batch and Flow (Methods of Production)
Stages in Recruitment and Selection
PESTEC Analysis (External Analysis)
Market Research Methods
Ratio Analysis
Structured Decision Making Model – POGADSCIE
Types of Ownership (Ownership, Control, Finance)

Remember, make a note of small things in the book that you are unsure of and at least know what they are. You may be asked a small 3 marker on a very specific topic. It is unrealistic to know everything indepth, but use your common sense and your thinking skills to generate answers.

i.e. TCP = Time, Cost, People. (In other words how does the question affect these factors?)
