How you'll be assessed

Our assessment in A-level Business includes questions that allow students to demonstrate their ability to: * draw together their knowledge, skills and understanding from across the full course of study * provide extended responses. For example questions in Section C of Paper 1 are extended response questions which require a student to draw together different areas of the specification. An extended response is evidence generated by a student which is of sufficient length to allow that student to demonstrate the ability to construct and develop a sustained line of reasoning which is coherent, relevant, substantiated and logically structured.
