Y11 New Exam Paper Practice

Hi Y11

I hope your revision is going well for your final Exam which as you know is worth 50% of your final grade.

Below are some link's to the exam paper and mark scheme we did in your mock and also two additional papers you can use to test your knowledge. Remember using past papers and a mark scheme works well for revision. To find the mark scheme for each paper just scroll down below the question paper.

I would also advise going to the below site and searching for the examiner reports. Here you can see past answers and how the exam board marked them plus advice from the exam board. If you look at the final bullet points for each year you will find very useful tips on what students have done wrong each year in general so you can prepare more fully. Remember to look for Unit 3 for your exam paper.

If any of you want help or advice during study leave feel free to email me directly or arrange to come in. I am available after-school most days and will happily help you go through past papers and questions if you need to.

My main advice is to:

  • Ensure you read at least 2 examiner reports from the past two years. 
  • Focus on the theory you are least confident with first and attempt any questions you can find on these.
  • Use question papers and mark schemes to plan out how you will answer questions in advance.
  • Remember that questions come up again in different forms so all practice is good practice
  • Make sure you go into the exam with lots of energy and confidence

Remember Tutor2U, GCSE Bitesize and Business Studies Online are all great websites.
