my own experience was identical. As an OCR examiner I would not recommend
the 'sample OCR mocks' as I do not feel they represent the OCR approach to
business studies, their flavour is more AEB, in my opinion.

>>
>> This site www.osl-ltd.co.uk also has details of products but then so does

>> This site also has a set of downloadable revision notes for Business

>>
>> All this is free.

>> It is Business Studies and Economics.

>>
>> www.osl-ltd.co.uk
>>
>> also has online "possible" matrking schemes and mocks for Cambridge
>> Business Studies (as a sampler, the rest have to be subscribed to).
>>
>> The main person on this site (i.e. me) was recommended for the National

>>
>>
>> This site also openly supports a charity : The Dystonia Society.
