BM Unit 2 Revision – What is covered in the exam? The November exam will cover all topics examined throughout the year. These include the three areas of study and the financial literacy component covered over the past 5 weeks. Over the next fortnight we’ll focus on recording notes for each of these subjects and looking at working autonomously to do this. This will require significant independence on your part, and as you’re entering either year 11 or year 12 I think you’re all up to it. You can use headphones whilst you work and ask others content related questions. But if your work falls behind schedule or is not of the quality that will allow you to succeed in the final exam, the autonomy afforded to you will have to be reconsidered. You may choose to do notes on the computer, using this document as a reference point to determine what is most important, or take notes by hand. Either way, more than just copying from the textbook pdf is required – cutting and pasting won’t help you, and if it comes down to your notes being mostly a cut & paste job, as oppose to a summary of content learning in your own words, that will have to be followed up.
