Here are the complete notes from the Business departments twilight exam intervention sessions completed over the 3rd and 10th May.
Be sure to notice the model answers and also how to answer the questions!
Thanks
Biz after Mock
Y11 Business Studies ESP after school right after your Business Studies Mock Exam.
If you have been requested directly by Mr White or Miss Palmer, please head to 675/680. If you would like to catch up on work missed up to this point, please work in 903 with Mr Fenner.
If you need to discuss anything about the Controlled Assessment, please speak to your subject teacher.
Business Memrise
I will be adding more but the first Memrise is on Key terms needed in preparation for the Mock Exam and the Unit 2 exam in May.
This should enhance your revision process with some of the key business vocab.
I hope that you have all established revision strategies in place now, if not please do not hesitate to see myself or Mr Rose.
There will be prizes on offer for weekly leaders on the score board. Please follow the link and sign up.
Any questions, please let me know.

Golds have been awarded for weekly leaders.
Keep it up as we have some competition now from other users.
Business GCSE past papers and 10 marker questions
Please download and complete your next past paper. We have started to complete some of these questions before but I want to experience the whole paper. PLEASE HAND IN ON 13TH MAY - REMEMBER THE MORE YOU DO, THE MORE FEEDBACK I CAN GIVE YOU :)
Here are some hints for the last question
Sam is planning to expand her business and is considering taking out a bank loan.
Evaluate the importance of her annual Profit and Loss Account and Balance Sheet to the bank when she applies for a loan. (10 marker)
- When using the word EVALUATE - it means you need to look at advantages and disadvantages.
- Evaluate the importance of two financial statements – the profit and loss account and the balance sheet – to a stakeholder (the lender).
- To reach a high level it is essential that you demonstrates evaluative skills.
- Simple statements and theory about the importance of financial statements will only give you a max of 3 marks.
Level 1 1 – 3 MARKS Candidate has made simple statements about profit and loss and
balance sheets. Candidates may only consider one financial statement.
There may be limited development at the top end of the level e.g. The bank will want to see the profit and loss account because it will show them if they have enough money to pay back the loan. The quality of written communication will be poor with frequent spelling, punctuation and grammar errors and the style of writing will not be appropriate to the subject matter
Level 2 4 – 7 MARKS A reasoned evaluation will be given but the answer will lack balance. Candidates are likely to make reference to one of the financial statements with some development. Candidates are likely to have considered either profitability as shown in the P & L account or the liquidity shown in the balance sheet. There will be a good level of quality of written communication with few mistakes in spelling, punctuation and grammar. The quality of the
language used will be appropriate for the subject matter; however its
use will not be as confidently used as that in level 3.
Level 3 8 – 10 MARKS A reasoned and developed evaluation will be given. Both documents will be discussed with some importance/value attached as
development. At the top end of the level a conclusion will be given which shows
understanding that the bank would not base their decision on the financial documents from one year only but would want to see them across a number of years (3) plus a forecast to assess the trends before making a decision on a loan.
The quality of written communication will be of a high standard with few, if any, errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar. The style of writing and the structure of the response will be appropriate and of a high standard and there will be clear evidence of analysis in the answer.
Business Memrise
I have set up a Memrise account with revision exercises for key terms.
I will be adding more but the first Memrise is on Key terms needed for the Unit 2 exam in June.
This should enhance your revision process with some of the key business vocab.
I hope that you have all established revision strategies in place now, if not please do not hesitate to see myself or Miss Cooke.
There will be prizes on offer for weekly leaders on the score board. Please follow the link and sign up.
