What is inside

A six step case study method

Short enough for students to memorise: how to read a case and answer from it, not from memory.

Four complete lessons

Objectives, minute by minute timings, tasks and full answers. Ready to teach as they stand.

Two case studies with full figures

Set in unnamed economies, all figures in dollars, so every calculation checks out with a calculator.

Model answers and drills

Three model answers to one evaluative question, a command word decoder, an evidence drill and a calculation drill.

Who it is for

Cambridge IGCSE Business Studies 0450, ages 14 to 16, and any teacher who wants students to answer the case study paper from the case in front of them rather than from memory.

Written for any centre

Both case studies are set in unnamed economies and all figures are in dollars, which is the convention students meet in the exam. There is no assumption about your country, your currency or your school system. If you would rather localise a case, the Word file is there for exactly that.

What it deliberately leaves out

Exact mark tariffs per question type, the number of questions on the paper, and quoted level descriptors. Assessment patterns change, and a free pack that prints last year's pattern as permanent does more harm than one that leaves it out. The question set uses tariffs chosen for teaching and says so on the page. Take the real pattern from your current syllabus and recent past papers.
