This is a Word document test that I use with Year 10 Business Studies students following the Cambridge IGCSE syllabus. I have found that it works well as a 45-minute assessment during a lesson time. It’s a basic test and the answer document also indicates the AO’s with the questions to it’s a little easier to mark and help students understand the basic assessment objectives in Business Studies.

The test covers the following topics:

Business growth
Business plans
Measuring business size
Entrepreneurship
Sectors of industry
Specialisation
Opportunity cost
Factors of production
Business ownership

Assessing students early in Year 10 can be challenging, so please feel free to adapt and modify this test to suit your classes. The document has been formatted with spacing similar to that used in Cambridge examinations, helping students become familiar with exam-style layouts from the outset.

A separate answer document is also included to support marking and to help students complete DIRT (Dedicated Improvement and Reflection Time) activities.

I hope you find these resources useful.
