A/A* Guide - GCSE Business Studies
Below are some hints
and tips to ensure you gain those top marks in your
GCSE Business Studies
Exams.
• Any part of the specification can be tested
in any one paper. Just because a topic appeared in the previous year's paper,
does not mean that the same topic will not be asked about again the following
year.
• Virtually all of the questions (after
question 1) require contextualisation. This is why, from question 2 onwards, a
case study appears at the start of each question - this is done to help you
with this skill. To contextualise your answers you need to think about what the
business does and who its competitors are and avoid using words that already appear
in the question.
• Make sure that you read the question closely.
Always ask yourself 'Am I answering the set question?' Taking this approach should prevent you
from drifting off the set question, or worse still, totally misinterpreting it.
• Make sure that you can define accurately
all of the key terms in the 'What students need to learn' column in the
specification.
Final Tips
Leave some time to double check your answers before the end
of the exam.
Underline the command word to remind yourself how you are
expected to answer.
Marks awarded for questions marked with an * will be
impacted by the quality of your written communication – spelling, punctuation
and grammar.
