GCSE Business
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
GCSE Business asks learners to calculate and interpret costs, revenue, profit, break-even, cashflow forecasts and profit margins, and to collect, present and judge market research data in two NEA reports worth 40% together. Literacy centres on reading business sources, using business terms precisely and writing reasoned judgements in extended answers and reports. The single biggest thing Key Stage 3 should build is confidence with money calculations in a business setting, followed by a written sentence saying what the answer means for the business.

- Both examinations are 1 hour 15 minutes and contain 'Questions requiring objective responses, short and extended answers, with some based around applied situations' (page 5).
- Unit 2 and Unit 4 NEA reports 'must be submitted digitally (they may be hand written and scanned, or completed digitally)' (pages 40 and 41), so handwritten work is accepted.
