The questions largely consist of 8, 10, 12 and 20 mark questions, but also include some additional questions and points to consider where relevant.
The 8, 10, 12 and 20 mark questions and mark scheme (level descriptors) are based on the structure, style and format of recent examinations set by Edexcel (at the time of writing the resource) for the A Level Business Paper 3 exam.
Questions cover a wide range of specification topics across all four themes (see below).
Answers are provided in paragraph form, rather than a list of relevant points anticipated to be raised in the answer.
Answers typically contain a range of examples of comments which can earn high marks in relation to the question set.
