Exam Practice Worksheets & Practice (Mock) Exam Paper (Part 4 & 5) Published 13th February 2020.

After studying each (bulleted) area students are advised to research in this year’s Edexcel’s Pre-release Material:

  1. PART 4 (a and b): EXAM PRACTICE WORKSHEETS containing stimulus material relating to 20 different businesses relevant to the context, and a wide range of questions (44 questions), with space for students to write down their answers, and comprehensive answers to the questions posed.  The questions largely consist of 8, 10, 12 and 20 mark questions, but also include some 2, 3 and 4-mark short-answer / calculation questions.  Questions cover a wide range of specification topics across all four themes.
  2. PART 5 (a and b): A FULL PRACTICE (MOCK) EXAM PAPER – based on the structure, style and format of recent examinations set by Edexcel (at the time of writing) for the A Level Business Paper 3 exam, with space for students to write down their answers, including mark schemes / detailed answers to the questions posed. Questions are included that touch upon all four themes.

These two sets of resources (published 13 February 2020) help to build students’ confidence in answering questions relating to the context and, in particular, develop their understanding and appreciation of the type of answers required and the skills they need to demonstrate to secure high grades.  Although the stimulus material is based on the 2020 Paper 3 context, these resources provide highly useful revision and relevant exam practice for Paper 1 and Paper 2, for this year’s exams and beyond.
