I think AQA may be doing the same thing or something similar anyway.. Well in Unit 1 : Introduction to small business is all about the main knowledge of a business but Unit 3 : Building a business talks about the law of business, communication, ethics,advertisement and other topics such as breaking even in a business which can be quite tricky..

My teacher made the whole class get it since it was that good. Read the book, ask your teacher if you don't understand something on there and do ALL the long questions carrying a lot of marks. Just make sure you understand the disadvantages and advantages of every method e.g. problems and advantages of quality control and assurance, how bad communication can affect a firm etc. Make sure you can analyse well i.e. this means.., this leads to..., as a result, however... . Be good at evaluations. Do ALL past papers, they help so much with exam technique.

Wow thats really good
Thankyou every much i actually have 'Revise Edexcel GCSE Business' workbook that i am currently using to revise...
Thank you very much i will remember to use those techniques
Any website that I can get past papers from?
Thanks!
Wow thats really good



Thanks!
When you do past papers and the questions from the book I suggested, get your teacher to mark your work and also give you advice on how to do better and always ask her/him for feedback. Try to get very high marks for unit 1 since it's multiple choice and a LOT easier than unit 3.
Good luck

Thanks very much i will keep this in mind
I also wanted to ask on how to answer a question that talks about whether a company will break even or how much a company will need to sell to break even (this has to be done without analyzing a graph)...?

There's the formulae for break even. You just need fixed costs, selling price and variable cost per unit to work out break even, not necessarily a graph. Just practice applying the formula an make sure you know that break even is where no profit nor loss is made. You might have to say if you think a firm will break even. In that case think about what is helping it to get high sales e.g. quality, customer service, promotion, marketing mix etc, and what is making it difficult for the firm to get high sales e.g. competition, suppliers failing to deliver stock on time. Then you may have to conclude e.g. depends on number of competitors entering and leaving the market.
