AQA GCSE Business.......?

Does anyone know what topics are going to be on each exam paper? I'm doing specification B and the 2 exams are on the 22nd May and 15th June, so there's quite a gap between them. I need to know as I have no idea how to set out my revision- do I revise every single topic by the 22nd May or do I save some revision topics for the 15th June? I've had a look on the AQA website, but all it says is that both exam papers consist of structured questions on case studies.

Would really appreciate any help.

This website has all the topics included in the two papers (:

There are 7 main topics in the two papers which are:
-External Environment and Business
-Ownership and Control of Business
-Aim/Objectives of Business
-Management of People within Business
-Accounting/Finance
-Production
-Marketing


Hope this helps and feel free to ask any more questions [=

..If you wish to, you can +rep me :smile:
Thanks for your help.

Are the topics not split up between the 2 papers? If the same ones appear on both papers, I'm going to have trouble revising. I'll probably do well on 1 paper and crap on the other.

Paper 1 will contain most of the topics except for:

-Growth (e.g. Lateral, Conglomerate direction of growth)
-The whole section on Management of People within a business
-Role of Personnel Management (E.g. Training, Recruitment)
-Location Decisions
-External Constraints (E.g. Legal, Moral, Cultural and Ethical Constraints)


Apart from the topics above, Paper 1 will contain the rest (such as Soletraders, Partnerships).
Im getting this information from a sheet that my teacher gave me, which I believe she found on the AQA Website.
If you search around the site and come across a specification, they should give a you a full list of topics included in the exam. (Make sure you get the exam reference number right, because there is more than one type of AQA Business Studies Exam [Spec A]).

Feel free to ask anything else (:
