Agree with Belldandy on this one, A-level business studies is a bit of a joke.
I seem to remember it was the course everyone applied for if they couldn't find three 'proper' A-levels which they were capable of doing...

So like I said, turn up to the class and you'll pass. Surely anyone whose managed to get on an A Level course can analyse, discuss, argue and explain things ? Or am I overestimating the capability of the average 16 year old school leaver ? Probably...

My birthday is July 7, and my A-levels finished in early June. September 1st is/was the cut-off between year groups.
How does that work? I'll be 17 when I finish my A-Levels, and if I'd been born 5 days later I'd be in the year below.
Meh. I don't really care.
Meh. I don't really care.
I was still sixteen when I finished my A-levels, by a month or so. I'm a year ahead with a late birthday, which isn't that unusual.
Anyway, my answers:
1) On a scale of 0-20, how likely do you think they are to get the job?
14
2) On a scale of 0-20, how good do you think they will be at the job?
17
4) On a scale of 0-20, how easily do you think they will fit into the workplace?
18
3) On a scale of 0-20, how often do you think they will take a day off work?
10

Okay, I suppose that's true for GCSE, but A-Level Business Studies is a different story. If you aren't good at analysing points, discussing, arguing points and generally explaining things, there is NO chance of you passing it.

Anyone can be good at business studies, just turn up to the class and you're likely to pass the silly thing...

Anyone can be good at business studies, just turn up to the class and you're likely to pass the silly thing...

Out of interest how did someone manage to do 3 A Levels despite working full time since they were 16?
Anyway:
1)18
2)15
4)15
3)10
And I'd work on getting the sequencing of numbers right before doing anything else... :P

She could well have left school at 16 and done her A levels in night class showing that she is dedicated and wishes always to improve. However, assuming this is an English / European company do they employ people below 16 in a call centre? If the answer is no then her work experience doesn't leave much time for her to be experienced at her current position.
Answer to question 1 - I'd say 0, meaning she wouldn't get the job and negating all other questions.
However if she was employed at a call centre in Indian she may have started her employment at 14 meaning she is experienced for the job she is applying for. Again the assumption is still that she did her A levels at night school.
1) 18 (depends on other applicants)
2) 20
4) 10
3) 10
