LIBF Diploma in Financial Studies
Unit 4 - Sustainability of the Financial Services System (SFSS)
LIBF CeFS / DipFS Financial Studies Unit 4 (SFSS) Homework / Assessment Booklet + Answer Booklet
This assessment Booklet, which comes complete with separate answer booklet, provides an ideal framework for assessing students’ knowledge on all topics within Unit 4. It contains a mixture of multiple choice and extended writing questions to effectively prepare students for both Part A and Part B exams. Success criteria for extended writing questions has been shared to ensure that students become familiar with common question stems and response expectations.
Questions have been taken directly from LIBF specimen papers and have been painstakingly organised into each of the 9 topics. Students can therefore be assured that they are only being assessed on questions that are similar to the type that they will face in their actual external examinations.
As a successful and experienced teacher of LIBF Financial Studies I have found that using these resources has enabled students to become familiar with the type of questions that will be asked of them within the external examinations. This has boosted exam performance and significantly increased grades as a result.
(Note: similar resources available for Units 1, 2 and 3. Also available as a cost-saving whole package.)
Save yourself a significant amount of planning and put your students on the path to success!

Business & Enterprise Enrichment Activity
Tenner Tycoon Complete Lesson Ppt + Lesson Plan + Differentiated Resources.
Ideal for use during Tutor time, Enrichment Days, Young Enterprise sessions, or within assembly.
The PowerPoint begins with a hook activity where students have to guess company logos. It then introduces the audience to Richard Branson, his various businesses, and how he has become successful. Following this, students have then got to plan the launch of a desirable, profitable product that can be sold in school, and launched with only £10 worth of funding. A plenary completes the challenge and recaps what students have learnt.
Differentiated resources include structured worksheets for each year group. The higher the year group, the less scaffolding there is.
This resource has been created to save you developing a fit-for-purpose assembly, Tutor period, or enrichment session.
