10 exam-style questions with mark schemes and examiner tips — for the May/June 2026 sittings.
TBS_A-Level_Business_Revision_Pack_May2026.pdf
4 short-answer (4–9 marks) · 4 application (10–12 marks) · 2 essay/evaluation (16–20 marks). Each question is mapped to a specific spec point on the cover.
Indicative KAAE-structure mark schemes (Knowledge–Application–Analysis–Evaluation) modelled on AQA and Edexcel senior examiner reports.
Each question ends with the single most common reason students drop marks on that question type — written from the examiner's perspective, not the textbook's.
The final page lists the five recurring patterns that cap students at lower levels — share with classes before the next mock.
Every question uses a real UK or global business — no generic case studies, no AI fluff. Figures are simplified for classroom use and approximate where appropriate.
