BM Exam Tips from Top Scorers
Apply to the case study
IB BM examiners penalise generic answers. Always reference the specific business in the case study — use its name, data, and context in every response.
Show your calculations
For quantitative questions, write out the formula, substitute the values, then give the final answer with units. Partial marks are awarded for working.
Use CUSP for 10-markers
Context → Use evidence → Several perspectives (for/against) → Plus conclusion with justified recommendation. This structure consistently earns 8-10/10.
Balance stakeholder perspectives
For "Evaluate" or "Discuss" questions, consider the impact on at least two stakeholders (e.g., employees, shareholders, customers) before writing your conclusion.
