Again, entries rose, compared to 2023, by more than 10% with approximately 70,000 candidates sitting this examination.  \nThis report gives feedback on Paper 2 (1BS0_ 02) 'Building a business'. It should be used by a centre as a critical document to enhance both teacher and candidate understanding of the core skills that are under test in each type of question. Going forward, it should be used to fine-tune the approach taken by candidates in answering each style of question used within the examination.  \nPlease note, I have deliberately made this report lengthy (apologies to those centres that print a hard copy of this report) . This is done so that prospective future candidates have access to worked examples. The aim is that this document can be used in the classroom to support future candidate performance. Please do ensure that it is used in the classroom, since the purpose of this report is that should not be hidden away for the exclusive use of teachers. To this end, we will be creating markable candidate versions of the Examiners’Report (minus the commentary) that can be used as an additional classroom resource. This is a new feature for this year. The aim is to try and promote the importance of this document into giving both candidates and teachers an insight into how each style of question is marked.  \nWithin this report, each question will have at least two worked exemplars which will highlight common mistakes and/or provide exampl","cbCaibO9qsp8aOqn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibO9qsp8aOqn","pdf",5743475,1,67,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Report purpose and classroom use\n## Worked exemplars and examiner tips\n# Performance by question\n## Question 1 (c)\n## Question 1 (d)","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Examiners’ Report for GCSE Business 1BS0 02?\",\"answer\":\"It provides feedback on Paper 2 “Building a business” to support centres in improving both teacher and candidate understanding of the core skills tested.
