    Is anybody else on TSR doing this exam on Wednesday? Have you done any revision? What did you get in the coursework and Unit 1 exam?

    I hate my Business Studies teacher and didn't really listen this year and I have no idea what I'm supposed to be revising, haha. So if anyone has anything on that then yeah
    I got a B in unit 1 but missed out on an A by one mark and an A in the controlled assessment

    I've just gone through my revision guide so I'm feeling a little more confident , business is pretty much the only subject I'm hopeful for an A or A* in , I got an A for unit 1 and an A* in the coursework,

    good luck everyone!

    Sales of good- goods must be if merchantable quality, and that the product must match the description. Trade description- products should not be sold in a misleading way anda business should not be aggressive in terms of how they work
