Exams, MARK-SCHEMES and command terms

In order to achieve an advanced mark you need to have a really good idea of the types and nature of the questions that are being asked. And, very importantly, what the IB Business Management examiners are looking for and how they are awarding marks. The exams and the mark schemes are obviously an invaluable source of information in this regards.

Pay special attention to the command term in each question. The sooner you know your command terms and the more you know your command terms, the sooner your IB Business Management grades will start to sky-rocket.

Level Descriptors for your long-answer examinantion questions

Your long-answer questions (e.g. 9 mark answers) are especially important in determining how well you do in each examination paper.
