BTEC Level 3 Business Unit 3 Revision Checklist

BTEC Level 3 Business Unit 3, Business & Personal Finance Revision Checklist.
As an examiner, one of the biggest errors I see in students papers is that they simply repeat the information they have learned. To try and avoid my students making the same mistake, I created a revision checklist directly from the specification but, I have clearly identified what the students need to be able to do with the information. Over the years, this has meant that students go about their revision differently – instead identifying that they “know” the topic, now they have to say whether they can calculate it, analyse it, or evaluate certain factors. Revising this way puts a different slant on how students revise, not only are they checking their knowledge but, they are acknowledging what it is they need to be able to do with it.

How to Use: Students should initially assess the extent to which they are comfortable with a topic and what they need to do with it. Are they so comfortable with it, they could help their peers or, do they have an idea but, if you put them on the spot they would struggle to put it into words….so might need another look? Alternatively, they could be like a rabbit in headlights with it and would not be happy at all if a question on that comes up….I recommend they focus on these areas first!! Give it a go, I would love to hear how your students get on with it.
