New A Level Business Specifications - Order Your Free Department Briefing

The exam board specifications for the new linear A Level in Business and new AS Level in Business will be published very soon.Each exam board will publish the full specification for each qualification (A Level Business & AS Business) together with specimen assessment materials (exam papers and mark schemes) for each of the new units.The new specifications are required to comply with the recently-published Ofqual subject content criteria which lay out the core content that must comprise at least 60% of each specification. Ofqual has also identified an extended range of quantitative skills which must also be included in the new specifications.For all exam boards, the new A Level and AS in Business represents a significant change and we are aware that many centres are taking this opportunity to review which exam board will be most suitable for their students.As a support to all centres intending to offer A Level Business and AS Business from September 2015, tutor2u is producing a comprehensive free report that analyses each of the new specifications.
