Card 13 calls the 9 mark question an Analyse question and says "do not write a conclusion, judgement is not required". That is wrong. AQA's 9 mark question is Recommend which is the better option, give reasons for your advice. Its mark grid is headed "Detailed evaluation" and the top level needs "a focused conclusion that is fully justified". Following this card would cost students marks.
The AO splits on both technique cards are also wrong. AQA marks the 9 mark question AO2 = 3, AO3 = 6, with no AO1, and the 12 mark question AO1 = 3, AO2 = 3, AO3 = 6. Cards 13 and 14 give different figures.
The other 14 cards are unaffected. Until the pack is rebuilt, please use the AQA GCSE exam technique pack, which states all of this correctly and is checked against AQA's published mark scheme.

How to use
- Print on A4 landscape, 4 cards per sheet. Set double-sided printing to "flip on long edge", this keeps the question on one face and the answer directly behind it. (Set this in the printer dialog. On most printers it's the default duplex setting.)
- Cut along the card outlines. Each card is a self-contained question + answer.
- Use as a 5-minute class starter, a plenary recap, half-term homework, or a self-quiz with a study partner.
- Free to share with colleagues. Modifications welcome for classroom use, resale not permitted.
Spec coverage
AQA GCSE Business 8132 Paper 2, Influences of marketing and finance on business activity. Cards cover the marketing mix application, financial decision-making and core calculations (gross profit margin, profit, ARR, net profit margin), plus the four most common exam-technique mark-losses on 9-mark and 12-mark questions. Every card carries the AQA 8132 specification reference it is drilling, and the pack stays inside what AQA says it will assess: AQA states that students "will not be expected to draw break-even charts or use the break-even formula", so break-even is not calculated here.
