the upcoming exam. Underneath are the learning objectives& assessment goals and a personal
opinion on what would the best approach in studying for the course of ‘International Marketing &
Sales II’.
Learning objectives & Assessment goals
IMS II recognizes several learning goals, some of which assess information that has only been revised
and therefore are not found in the book summaries. Underneath is a screenshot of what the module
manual says.
Exam layout
Personal opinion
Both learning goals 2 & 3 together take up for 60% of the exam and are about a customer journey.
This means that this is crucial to prioritize. There is a high chance that one of the open questions will
be about mapping out a customer journey so it is advised to practice that before taking the exam.
Furthermore, the book summaries explain the information from the slight in much more detail so in
this case it is recommended to focus more on those than on the slides.
Finally, the exam will be taken on a computer rather than in paper. Just a heads-up. Good luck
everyone!
