Pearson Edexcel A-level Business past papers and mark schemes
30 papers · June 2017 – June 2025
Marketing, people and global businesses is the title of Paper 1 in Pearson Edexcel A-level Business (9BS0), and the past papers on this page sit beneath it alongside Paper 2: Business activities, decisions and strategy and Paper 3: Investigating business in a competitive environment. All of them are 2 hours long and worth 100 marks.
You will find 30 papers here, and each has a mark scheme beside it. Of those, 27 come from 9 exam series between June 2017 and June 2025, and 3 are specimen papers. Inserts come with 16 of the papers, so open the insert alongside the questions whenever there is one. Series appear newest first under each paper, which makes it easy to hold back June 2025 and June 2024 as final practice while you work through the older ones earlier in the year.
Reschedule can handle the timing for you. It is a planner that turns the specification into daily tasks, schedules each subtopic before the paper that examines it, and adds past papers with mark schemes to the plan for each paper. Miss a day and the unfinished work moves to your next study days, still ahead of each paper's date.
