The following are the learning prerequisites of students opting for the subject of Business Studies in Year 11 leading to the IGCSE final examination:
High level of self-discipline.
Fluency in written and spoken English.
Ability to apply the theoretical knowledge gained in class to examination questions which are application based.
Since the subject is newly introduced in Year 10, the terms, definitions, concepts, content and graphs, are highly technical and requires students to listen carefully, understand well and study systematically.
The syllabus is vast and therefore a regular study regimen has to be followed to avoid stress and confusion during the examinations.
While the recommended textbooks are good, the textbook material has to be supplemented with extended reading of newspapers and business magazines.
All definitions of terminologies must be understood and learned well. CIE expects students to quote them using the correct terms.
Active interest in participating in classroom discussions is vital.
