The changes for 0450/2 are:
There will be 5 questions with only two sub Questions (a & b)
One Question is worth 8 marks and the other 12 marks
The case study will not be attached to the booklet it will be an insert

so it is true...

I guess having the case study as an insert saves some time. We no longer have to flip back to the first page for reference.

Thats what exactly confuses me!!!
A question in business requires anything u know about the topic to be writen and 2 or 3 pts from the case study.
What i do is write the 2 or 3 pts from the case study, thats it. Thats why I get low marks in p2 :(
I get confused with Eco. and Business
I'll go with ur advice this time ;)
Ill write everything i know about the topic ^^
