These are the PYP that is based under the previous CIE curriculum. You will find some A2 materials in P1 and P2. When you encounter these questions in P1 and P2, just ignore them and move on to the next question. 

These are the PYP that is currently used by CIE for examination.

JC2 Business Studies - Curriculum Mapping and Scheme of Work

Students, please download and keep a copy of the following. The Curriculum Mapping (CM) and Scheme of Work (SoW) gives us an overview of what we're going to learn throughout the year, and will help us keep our pace on track. 

In addition to this, the SoW will be useful when you are studying for tests and exams. It has all the objectives per topic, so you could use the SoW as a guide during your study to ensure you have studied and master the materials covered in your tests / exams. I have also uploaded the CM and SoW that I used in your JC1 since most of you have apparently lost it.
