Being asked by management to back up intervention with data? Tired of having to fill in individual students Personalised Learning Check Lists (plc's) or relying on their 'judgement' of what they think they are good and bad at to guide them in making better progress? Download the Data Driven Student PLC Generator for Edexcel GCSE Business Studies Unit 1 and solve those problems (for one unit at least). Simple get your students to sit the 4 past papers for unit 1 and get them to enter in their score for each question, the generator using formula, grade boundaries and their target grade will produce a PLC for that student to print and plan their revision and/or for you to plan your intervention. It took me a long time to create but my students love it and so does management so well worth it!

Due to the lack of exam papers I have written one for my current Year 12’s to sit as their end of year Theme 2 mock. Paper is a hybrid between Paper 2 and Paper 3 style as I wanted my students to get the hang of the ‘Assess 2’ 8 mark questions. I have written it in the style of an A Level paper rather than an AS paper and have created up to date case studies including Google, Tesla & VW.
