The Internal Assessment Basics and Topics

The first thing I want to cover is report writing. This seems to be crucial area if you are going to get really high grades in Business Studies. This accounts for 20% of your final mark, so if you get a very high grade in this you are already halfway to getting at least a 4, which is about 40% in Business.
The Internal assessment must be based on a real business and MUST answer a question. If you don't do this, your assignment will lack focus and be marked down accordingly. Your teacher will help you with your choice of assignment, which you should find motivating and interesting!
The supplementary information such as title page, diagrams, figures, tables, references and appendices is not included in the 1000–1500 words.
