What each AQA GCSE Business paper assesses
AQA GCSE Business (8132) is examined in two papers of 1 hour 45 minutes, each worth half the GCSE. Paper 1, Influences of operations and HRM on business activity, examines business in the real world, influences on business, business operations and human resources. Paper 2, Influences of marketing and finance on business activity, examines business in the real world, influences on business, marketing and finance. So the first two topics appear on both papers. There are no options: every student studies all six topics, and every one of them is here, from legal structures and stakeholders to break-even charts and profit margins.
