We use 'Business Studies' Marcouse et al Hodder & Staughton, but I can't say it's much better or worse than any of the others on the whole. Some of the generic websites (eg www.bized.ac.uk or www.tutor2u.net)are as good if not better. Tutor2u has a discussion forum where your student can post questions and get helpful answers from other students and from teachers. The key point about A2 Business studies is that it's a repeat of AS in the main, but not in the detail. Therefore one thing to do is go through the spec (available on the website) and note the differences as far as content goes. The more important difference is in the assessment. The nature of the exams is different, and the skill assessment is different. To put it simply, at A2 there is less emphasis on content knowledge for its own sake and more on the use of this knowledge in solving a business problem. But that is true, to a degree, of most A-levels. I am not sure what exactly to sugget, because I'm !
not sure what you already know, but please feel free to ask away and request resources which I may or may not have. Others I am sure will more than fill the gaps.
