WJEC A level business studies

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any recourses particularly exam style questions for Business studies WJEC unit 3 and 4, I've done all of the past papers in college over the past year so I'm now struggling to find extra recourses. I have revision notes so just need to get extra practise for the exam.
if anyone knows any websites or literally anything they recommend id greatly appreciate the help.
thank you

Sorry you've not had any responses about this. :frown:

Are you sure you've posted in the right place? :smile:

Here's a link to our subject forum which should help get you more responses if you post there. :redface:

You can also find the Exam Thread list for A-levels here and GCSE here. :dumbells:

Just quoting in Puddles the Monkey so she can move the thread if needed :h:

Easy peasy. Good topics, wrote a decent amount for each question but needed more time.

I wrote about how the local communities get jobs abroad and then there potentially lost here. The government would get more from tax as revune is increased as a result of falling costs. Customers would benefit from lower prices potentially as a result of economies of scale bringing prices down as well as operating on a lost structure. Local communities would also be improved as they would invest in the area(social benefits)
Customers could boycott firm as they may feel its not ethical - relating back to the case study and the Bangladesh incident (work or lose a month)
Shareholders would potentially gain more dividends as sales could rise and costs fall increasing their ROCE

The bargaining power of buyers was high due to the amount of firms that would operate on the high street, allowing them to be spoilt for choice.

Most likely grade boundaries:
A-40
B-35
C-30
D- 26
etc

i found that difficult, i spoke to some of my class mates and they said the gross profit was in the text, however after reading it i couldn't find it.

There wasnt, there were only sales figures for the companies in the AB Food group.

Yeah me and some mates were talking about that because in a previous past paper there was no gross profit figure... the markscheme just didnt include gross profit margin.

Well, that's if you can call it BS4. The only topic that was actually from the BS4 spec was sales forecasting (moving average)... But it was decent. I did the global marketplace essay question too.
