BUSS3 is aptly named, as success in it very much depends on the strategy you take. Looking at the grade boundaries of past exams, the mark required to achieve an A grade is not that high — typically a score of 55 out of 80 is enough. However, with such a large amount of subject content, along with all the financial equations, BUSS3 is often the paper that fills students with dread. If you approach it with the right strategy, you should be in a position to achieve the higher grades.

Like most of the exam papers, the mark-a-minute rule is worth noting and should be the basis of your approach. From studying BUSS3, you should be aware of the concept of critical path analysis. Have you considered using it as part of your strategy when tackling the paper itself?
