HACKS A-LEVEL
Evaluation makes up a whopping 30% of your grade at A2 - we show you 5
top tips for scoring full evaluation marks in all questions

Often the simplest way of scoring evaluation marks is by
questioning the validity of the data in the case study.

What information is missing?
What further information is required?
Why is this important to know further information?

COST/AVAILABILITY OF FINANCE
How will the cost of the decision affect the bottom line?
What is the cost? Is it worth doing? Cost effective?
(Give a different evaluation for every course of action)
Do the potential returns merit the risk?
Can the business finance this decision?

RATIO ANALYSIS
Using ratios to analyse decisions can be highly beneficial
but have limitations you can use for evaluation
Based on historic information -will the results in the future
follow current trends?
Ratios need to be compared against previous years
results/ other companies in the same industry - is
comparison possible?

QUALITATIVE FACTORS
A focus on quantitative factors alone may ignore
qualitative factors crucial in decision making
Has the potential social or environment impact of the
decision been considered?
Is the decision consistent with the long term strategy of
the company?
Link to long term obectives of the company
EXTERNAL ANALYSIS
Any decision made will be subject to the external forces of
the business environment
Is the market expanding? Are consumer trends changing?
Is the economic environment stable - is there high
economic growth or is there risk of recession?
How do the government intervene in the market?
Will there be more or less government regulation (rules)
taxes or subsidies?
