CIE A Level Business 9609 (2025)
This page is specifically designed to support Cambridge International A Level Business (9609). It aligns with the latest coursebook, Cambridge International AS & A Level Business Coursebook, but it can also be used with any edition—or even without a textbook at all.
All resources are completely free to use. However, likes, follows, and comments on the videos are greatly appreciated, as they help me create even more content.

Ai A Level Business Tutor
This AI Chatbot is specifically designed to match your syllabus. It explains Business A-level concepts clearly and at the right level for your exam. Plus, it’s multilingual, so you can get help in your preferred language.

Ai Definitions (A01) Tester
These testers are designed to test you on the elements you need to know. They will mark your answers and explain where you went wrong. An excellent tool for continuous revision.
NOTE : Here is a direct quote from a Cambridge Examiner’s Report: ‘For two-mark ‘define’ questions, there should be two clear knowledge points. Candidates do not need to show creativity in their language – a simply worded dictionary definition using technical language is sufficient. It is often useful to add an example where possible, as this may show knowledge where the definition may be slightly unclear.’
Ai Knowledge (A01) Tester
AS Level
A2 Level
Ai Application (A02) Tutor
This is a skill-based game primarily designed for IGCSE students, but it is also excellent for practising application skills at A Level.
Ai Analysis (A03) Tutor
This will teach you exactly what teachers and examiners mean by ‘analysis’, provide examples, and show you how to secure those marks. It explains cause and effect and the essential ‘chain of analysis’ technique. While examiner reports suggest two links are enough for ‘developed’ analysis, this will train you to use three for a stronger response. If you haven’t studied IGCSE Business Studies, start with the IGCSE Helper to cover the basics and get the most out of the Chain of Analysis tutor.

Ai Evaluation (A04) Tutor
When you plan your answer and write your conclusion, remember that exam questions are not generic. They are always based on a real business situation from the case study. That means you cannot just repeat a prepared opinion from your teacher. You need to apply your knowledge to the specific business in the question.
A simple way to make sure you do this is to use MOPS:
Market – What type of market is the business in? (competitive, niche, international, declining?)
Objective – What is this business trying to achieve? (growth, survival, profit, market share?)
Product – What kind of product or service is being sold? (luxury, necessity, seasonal, fast-moving?)
Situation – What position is the business in now, and how might the decision affect it in the short term and the long term?
This AI helper is designed to challenge your ideas, constantly arguing against them until you can convincingly prove it wrong. Beat the bot—a fun way to practise your evaluation skills!

Content Explainer Videos - BizEdMadeSimple
Although many of these videos are designed with IGCSE Business Studies in mind, they are equally useful for AS and A Level students. Much of the content overlaps, and the videos are crafted to build the deeper understanding required at higher levels. Rather than simply presenting facts, they use engaging stories and memorable examples to help you grasp each concept thoroughly.
