GCSE Business: how each board marks it

AQA · OCR · Pearson Edexcel. A separate book for each

The assessment objectives below are worded almost identically whichever board you teach. What differs is the weight each one carries, and that is what decides where a department spends its time. Each book quotes its own board’s specification word for word, and the first 8 pages of each are open to read here.

Teaching business lower down the school? Business scheme of work

Practising exam technique? Business questions and answers

Want the whole department covered, not just this qualification? Commercially Aware, Confident Schools
