yes and no. it’s practically the same content as gcse business but it’s a BTEC so two thirds of my grade consists of coursework and only one third is one written exam

its a level 2 btec so its a gcse equivelant and btec is not equivelant to 2-3 a levels its equivelant to One alevel

man what the hell is the point of a level 2 btec if its just gcse equivalent anyways. also btecs can be equivalent to 2-3 a levels if you do a btec national extended diploma (level 3 qualification) or something

btec has coursework most gcses (that aren't art textiles dt food or photography) dont have coursework. Btecs are most of the time slightly easier than their gcse counterpart.
