Pearson Edexcel International A Level (IAL) Business past papers and mark schemes
66 papers · January 2019 – June 2025
Four units, each worth 80 marks and lasting 2 hours, make up the Pearson Edexcel International A Level (IAL) Business papers collected here: WBS11, WBS12, WBS13 and WBS14. The page holds 66 papers from 19 exam series, January 2019 to June 2025, and every one of them has both a mark scheme and an insert. All of the files are hosted by Pearson.
The unit headings are ‘Unit 1: Marketing and people’, ‘Unit 2: Managing business activities’, ‘Unit 3: Business decisions and strategy’ and ‘Unit 4: Global business’. Coverage is not identical across them. WBS11 has 18 papers, WBS12 has 17, WBS13 has 16 and WBS14 has 15, so the later units have fewer series to practise from. There are no specimen papers in this set, and the list has no June 2020 series.
Since every Business paper here has an insert, practise with it open beside the question paper so you get used to moving between the two. Give yourself the full 2 hours, then mark your answers against the mark scheme. Reschedule, a revision planner, can fit this around your other subjects. Add your exam board, the date of each paper and the hours you have free, and it builds a daily plan from the specification with past papers and mark schemes slotted in for each paper.
