Build confidence with the calculations students need for the new AQA A-Level Business specification (first teaching Sept 2026)

This comprehensive 104-page Calculation Practice Book provides extensive practice of the quantitative skills required for the new AQA A-Level Business specification, first teaching from September 2026.

Rather than simply presenting formulae, the book gives students plenty of opportunity to apply calculations in realistic business contexts. Questions make use of business scenarios, tables, charts and financial data, with dedicated space for students to show their workings.

Practice develops from relatively straightforward calculations to more challenging multi-stage questions in which students may need to manipulate data, calculate percentage changes, work backwards from information provided, compare different scenarios or assess the numerical impact of a business decision.

Key topics covered

• Market capitalisation
• Dividend per share and dividend yield
• Market size, market share, sales growth and other market data

• homework and consolidation
• identifying areas where students need additional numerical practice
• revision ahead of assessments and final exams

With a wide variety of question styles and business contexts, the book helps students become more confident in selecting, applying and manipulating the calculations they are likely to encounter throughout A-Level Business.
