    Advice needed from b6 business students regarding section 4!

    No business studies is very precise and specific. Nothing like English. The essay is essentially detailed points and explanation through case studies. Try to make things as concise and as less general as possible.

    How much does extra knowledge improve your marks in an essay

    Hello, I was wondering if someone knows extra content that wasn't studied (From their own extensive reading) and features it in their essay, does it have a significant impact on the marks they can get (mainly humanities and history subjects)? Cheers

My classmates seem to know more than me, and especially in subjects like history I do everything the teacher tells me to do, but I feel like I don't have enough knowledge to get full marks in my essays.
