Putting The Icing on the Cake on Friday 10th June 2016

Dear Yr 11 GCSE Business Studies - Class of 2016

the POSITIVITY from you ALL when you left the EXAM HALL today was a sheer DELIGHT to SEE.

WELL DONE ONE AND ALL.

With 50% of the marks in the BAG for Paper 1 and the Controlled Assessment you now need to work out how many MARKS you NEED from Paper 2 to HIT your TAG or beat it !

Paper 1        Paper 2            Controlled Assessment      Total Marks
60 marks     90 marks           60 marks                             210 marks

That said there is only a FINITE number of QUESTIONS that the EXAM BOARD can ASK you for Paper 2.

The TWO sample QUESTION PAPERS below cover ALL of them.

As the exam board can only ask you half of all the Questions in 90 minutes if you know ALL the answers to ALL of the QUESTIONS you cannot get a GREAT MARK on Paper 2

The Unit 2 Practice Paper Questions and Mark Sheets are below 

DO THEM AGAIN and AGAIN until you GET them ALL CORRECT
