The Edexcel IGCSE Business Studies exam is available in May/June each year. It
is assessed over 2 exam papers:
* Paper 1 4BS1/01 - 1 hour 30 min exam
* Paper 2 4BS1/02 - 1 hour 30 min exam
We generally ask that you book written exams at least 6 months in advance.
Booking your exam after the booking deadline will incur late fees (available for
one month after deadline) and high late fees (available up until exam entry
closure).
Some students will study for the exam over a period of months or years, as they
dictate their own study schedule. We do however have students who will study
intensively and prepare in a matter of weeks. You are only constrained by the
exam diet. GCSE exams are available in May/June of each year, with core subjects
also assessed in January.
We are so confident in the CloudLearn model of study that we guarantee you will
