Hassan Ali Examiner for Business Studies IGCSE
1 Review
If you are having trouble comprehending what IGCSE business studies past paper questions actually require of you or if IGCSE accounting does not make any sense then you are looking at the right profile.
I am an IGCSE business studies examiner and I know what is takes to get a grade. We, as examiners, are marking answer scripts based on certain assessment objectives and most students fail to understand these. So, even though you have completed your syllabus and have a good command on subject knowledge, you may still struggle with writing good answers to exam questions.
Business studies syllabus material in your course book comprises only 40-50% of the exam paper weightage. So, it is only natural to feel completely puzzled when solving past paper questions even after you have completed and learnt everything from your syllabus book. CAIE Examiners for business studies are marking answer scripts with the following assessment objectives in mind:
1. Knowledge or Relevant Point. It includes methods, factors, advantages and disadvantages depending on what the question is asking.
2. Analysis or Explanation or Development of your Relevant Point. This usually includes explaining the affect of your chosen point on the business, government or other stakeholders.
3. Application or Relevant Reference from the given story. This means you need to use words or figures from the case given in the question. However, only using the name of the business in the case scenario does not qualify for Application marks.
4. Evaluation or Justified Decision or Conclusion. This means you need to choose from two or more options and give a reason of why you have made that choice whilst comparing it with the rejected option. Any points once made should not be repeated in the Evaluation part.
IGCSE Accounting is another subject many students find difficult especially when solving MCQs in Paper 1. I have developed a few hacks for each chapter for students to work through the past papers in an effective and efficient way.
60% of past papers in IGCSE Accounts is based on only 8 T-Accounts and 1 Financial Statement and getting a hold of these takes just about a week.

A good and dedicated teacher. Makes things easy for the student. Helps with good practice of past papers for both business and accounts. Also its true that he is a cambridge examiner.
