GCSE Business Studies.

  • End of topic tests. There will be a lot of definitions / explanation of terms in these tests so asking students to use their knowledge organisers at home at least once a week and practice the definitions they have learned in class would be really helpful.
  • Informal review points. There will be information on MS teams for students to access to prepare for these review points. They will often take the form of completing exam questions in lesson for teachers to assess progress on knowledge as well as skills in decoding exam questions and understanding what the question is asking for.
  • Formal review points. These will be mock exams. Revision materials will be put on teams prior to the assessment for students to revise from. Students should be encouraged to practice / revise from these as using their knowledge organisers.
