Command terms and how they should be applied
When answering exam questions it is important to identify the COMMAND TERM in each question. These will determine how you should answer the question. Command terms such as 'explain', 'outline', 'analyse', 'to what extent', and so on carry different meanings and this should be reflected in your answers.
The command terms used in IB questions are divided into four levels. For levels 1-3, the higher the level, the greater the degree of sophistication required in an answer. Level 4 are the command terms associated with subject-specific skills.
The table below summarise how you should use the IB Business Management command terms when you are answering questions and how they apply to particular questions.
