GCSE Business (9-1) OCR – Business 1 Assessment & Exam Technique Resource Pack Business Activity, Marketing & People (Human Resources) This pack of resources has been made to help students develop their exam technique for GCSE Business (9-1). These resources have been developed following the first set of exams in Summer 2019 – taking into account key points from the mark schemes & examiner reports. It is primarily written for the OCR (9-1) course, but could easily be used / adapted for other exam boards as it includes most of the usual content for these topics, and similar A01/A02/A03 Assessment Objectives. All resources are in Microsoft Word format (so that you can amend them if you wish). The following resources are included: 1. Multiple Choice tests: 3 x Multiple Choice tests with model answers (Business Activity, Marketing & People). Also available on my Kahoot! site (Business_Cleeve) – turn the timer off, set an end date, and the tests will mark themselves! Also includes a PowerPoint giving top tips for answering multiple choice questions. 2. 2-3 point exam questions: 3 x assessments (totalling 10 points each) with model answers (Business Activity, Marketing & People). Also includes a PowerPoint giving top tips for answering 2-3 point questions, showing where A01/2/3 marks will be awarded. 3. 9 point exam questions: 3 x 9 point assessments with model answers (Business Activity, Marketing & People). Also includes a PowerPoint giving top tips for answering 9 point questions, showing where A01/2/3 marks will be awarded. 4. Business 1 Tracker Sheet: A top sheet to record all the grades from these assessments, including any fix-it work. This helps students to identify their strengths / weaknesses. 5. Revision Booklets: 3 x revision booklets for Business Activity, Marketing & People. This helps with basic A01 recall needed for all three assessment types above. #Please note: These Revision Booklets are already available in other resource packs I have on TES but I feel they complement the resources here too. For simplicity, I plan to grade these assessments by the mark that students get – i.e. 6 out of 9 = Grade 6. For info, the actual grade boundaries for 2019 were (average for Business 1 & Business 2 combined): 9 (74%), 8 (69%), 7 (65%), 6 (59%), 5 (54%), 4 (48%), 3 (36%), 2 (25%), 1 (14%).

EIGHT PRACTICE DICTATION QUESTIONS These dictation tests provide authentic examples of the dictation questions found in GCSE Music exams. They cover various styles and genres of music: Orchestral and Choral Music Jazz and Popular Song Film Music Pop music (ballads) The questions come in groups of four, one for each of the categories above, and each group of four features music by musicians whose names begin with the same letter. In this pack, the musicians’ names begin with the letters A and B. The main feature of all these shorter questions is dictation, to help students practice this type of exam question, worth five marks. I have added a few additional shorter questions, totalling three additional marks, so that every question is worth eight marks. As these are shorter questions, to focus on dictation, the extracts are shorter (generally 20–25 seconds long), and there is less time after the question for students to complete their answers. Each listening test is approx. 5’30"-6’00" long. This pack contains one document with questions and answers, and separate documents for just the questions (incl. YouTube links), and just the answers, in case teachers want to set the exercises as homework. The document comes complete with: • YouTube links with exact timings for all musical examples • Full mark scheme • Perfect for printing on double-sided A3 sheets.

The total duration of all four tests, including silences, is c40 minutes, perfect for a single period assessment These questions contain music by Beethoven, Björk, Chuck Berry, Lavern Baker, Small Island Pride, and more!
