A-Level Business Edexcel Predicted Paper 1 2026

2 hour, 100 mark predicted paper 1 (Marketing, People, and Global Business) with full guided mark scheme for 2026

This predicted paper is for Edexcel A-Level Business Paper 1 (9BS0/01) – Marketing, People, and Global Business.

It has been carefully written to replicate the exact structure, style, and difficulty of the real Edexcel exam, providing students with a realistic and valuable preparation tool ahead of their final assessment.

The paper covers all themes of the Edexcel A-Level Business specification, including Marketing and People, Managing Business Activities, Business Decisions and Strategy, and Global Business. Questions are designed to test knowledge, application, analysis, and evaluation across a wide range of business contexts.

The assessment consists of two sections, each based on a different business case study, with a mix of short-answer, data-response, and extended essay questions — mirroring the requirements of the official Paper 1.

A full guided mark scheme is included, offering clear marking guidance and indicative content aligned to Edexcel’s assessment objectives (AO1, AO2, AO3, AO4). This makes it ideal for both self-assessment and teacher-led mock exams.
