How to use these papers
Do not work these papers without the case material in front of you — the marks above knowledge are all contextual, and practising the questions in the abstract trains exactly the wrong habit. Read the case twice, underline the figures, and decide what kind of business it is before answering anything.
Mark yourself by asking, of each paragraph, "could this sentence appear in an answer about a different company?" If it could, it is a knowledge sentence and it is not earning application or analysis. That single test catches most of the gap between a middling and a strong script.
Secure the quantitative questions first — ratios, investment appraisal, break-even. They are objectively right or wrong, they recur in a stable form across sessions, and they do not depend on writing quickly under pressure the way the evaluation questions do.
