Command terms are basically the action words in your exam questions. Think of them as the &ldquo;directors&rdquo; of a movie scene; they tell you what to do and how deep to dive into your answer.

<ul>
	<li>They guide your approach to the question.</li>
	<li>They dictate the depth and detail your answer should have.</li>
	<li>Being buddies with them = better time management during exams!&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>AO1 &ndash; Knowledge and Understanding 🧠
	<ul>
		<li>You just need to show you know the stuff. Like listing out the colors in a rainbow!</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>AO2 &ndash; Application and Analysis 🔍
	<ul>
		<li>Dive deeper! Apply what you know and analyze it. If AO1 was listing rainbow colors, AO2 would be explaining why the sky displays them in a certain order.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>AO3 &ndash; Synthesis and Evaluation 🤔
	<ul>
		<li>Here you mix and evaluate information. Like if you were discussing if unicorns prefer rainbows in the morning or evening!</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>AO4 &ndash; Use and Application of Appropriate Skills 🛠
	<ul>
		<li>Time to showcase your skills. How would you paint a rainbow for a unicorn?&nbsp;</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>
	Define the term tertiary sector. [2]

	<ul>
		<li>Think of this as explaining the concept to your little cousin. Just give the precise meaning. No fluff!</li>
		<li>Real-world example: After farming (primary) and manufacturing (secondary), we have the tertiary sector. It&#39;s the services world! Like your favorite ice cream shop or the bank.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>
	Outline two common steps in the process of starting up a business or enterprise. [4]

	<ul>
		<li>Provide a short summary, like a mini-movie trailer.</li>
		<li>Real-world example
		<ul>
			<li>Brainstorming Ideas: It&#39;s like thinking about what kind of lemonade to sell &ndash; classic, pink, or bubbly?</li>
			<li>Business Plan: Mapping out how many lemons you need, where to set up your stand, and how to attract customers (maybe with cool posters?).</li>
		</ul>
		</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

Remember: As you move through the questions, some command terms will ask more of you, like &ldquo;Explain&rdquo; or &ldquo;Identify&rdquo;. This isn&rsquo;t just about showing you know something, but showing you understand it.

&nbsp;

Example

<ul>
	<li>Explain why unicorns might prefer rainbows in the evening.

	<ul>
		<li>Here, you&#39;d discuss the reasons, maybe say, &quot;Unicorns might prefer evening rainbows because the cooler temperature allows them to run without getting too hot, or perhaps the evening hues match their aesthetic better.&quot;</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

Always refer back to the IB Business Management Guide for command term definitions. Knowing what they want from you is half the battle won!

&nbsp;

And remember, just like in movies, it&#39;s not always about how long the scene is, but how impactful it is! 😉
