Practice Assessment Material for Edexcel A Level Business Paper 3 Exam on the ‘Market for Entertainment’

APT’s Complete Context Companion provides plenty of Practice Assessment Material, which is all specific to this year’s context. It includes a set of Exam Practice Worksheets with stimulus material and plenty of exam-style questions with detailed mark scheme / answers, all specific to the market for entertainment. This is in addition to a full Practice (Mock) Exam Paper, as well as some initial research leads and information sheets to familiarise students with the context.  At £85 (+vat) for a downloadable resource available for multiple use within the purchasing institution, it costs far less than the cost for a teacher to attend a course, or for a small group of students to attend a revision seminar on this particular exam, as well as being far less time consuming and more convenient to access.
