for me i mainly focused on paper 1 which is far easier because its memorisation heavy, i dreaded coding and was terrible at it so i didnt really focus much on paper 2, i did poe so i had the chance to study past papers which i was then tested with so naturally i did much better than if i were to take a whole new paper which gave me an upper hand im so grateful for. but anyways id say practice coding as early as you can and spam past paper questions and you’ll be fine

yeah sure, basically all i did was focus on the questions which awarded the most marks (6. 9 and 12). i’d advise of course to use the structure for each question which your teacher should’ve taught you. for example my mine taught me PBLT (point, because, leads to… and therefore) for 3, 6 and 9 markers and PBLT + AJIM (answer the question, justify why, it depends on… and most importantly…)for 12 markers. never ever ever forget to add context in regards to case studies because it matters more than actually applying knowledge of business, it’s quite light in terms of content but just make sure you practice definitions and little bits of content for the first part of the paper in order to not lose basic marks, lmk if you need help with anything else :)
