A-Level Business 7138: The Switchover Pack
AQA 7138 starts in September 2026 and almost every A-level Business resource in the country was written for 7132. Nine pages on what changed, with the specification section printed beside every claim.
On 7132 it was Analyse, marked AO1 2, AO2 3, AO3 4. No AO4, so a judgement earned nothing. On 7138 it is Assess, it carries all four objectives, and AQA writes in the specification that this question type requires a judgement. Same tariff, opposite instruction. If one habit survives from your 7132 teaching by accident, it is this one.

How this one was checked
Every exam board claim in this pack was read out of that board's own published document, and the section it came from is printed beside it. Page 9 lists the documents so you can settle any of it yourself in about a minute.
That is not a boast, it is a repair. In August 2026 we published a free pack that named the wrong command word for an Edexcel GCSE question, and two teachers caught it publicly within three hours. The fix was to stop writing board facts from memory: every one now lives in a file with the URL it came from, and a script checks the whole library against it before anything goes out.
This stays free. Everything in the resource library is free and it stays free. If you have made something that works, you can put it on the same shelf: post a free resource. Or just browse the library.
