Strategy for Success

The Business Strategy exam is about applying theory to practice, says Chris Leigh

Business Strategy is a very different exam to its Professional Stage counterparts. There is very little numerical analysis, with the exam focusing largely on the application of the theory to scenarios provided in the questions. Students have historically struggled on this paper, largely due to the different techniques required in answering a BS question compared to a more numbers-based paper.

The BS exam becomes much easier if you get into the habit of adopting good exam technique early in your studies. These rules will help you focus when attempting questions and ensure that you don’t run out of time.
