How do I answer an Edexcel IGCSE Business multiple-choice question?

  • These questions require you to select a correct answer from a range

  • They test how effectively you can recall knowledge from the specification content

  • Multiple-choice questions are worth one mark and appear in Question 1 only

Top tips

  • Look for at least one obvious incorrect option that is unrelated to the focus of the question

Example

  • In this example, the obvious incorrect option is excluded
