The real curriculum · authored by specialist educators
GCSE revision built around what you already love.
PassionPass teaches the AQA, Edexcel and Cambridge IGCSE specs — Business and Economics — through six cultural lenses: football, music, fashion, fitness, gaming, beauty. Same exam mark scheme. Different door in.

How it works
1
Pick your lens. Choose the cultural angle you'll learn through. Same spec, different door in. The lens flexes content, not assessment.
2
Drill what you don't know. Topic-by-topic MCQ, calc, and extended-response drills. Passion+ Mark gives instant heuristic feedback on every PEEL response.
3
Take a timed mock. Five Business + two Economics mocks pull from the live banks. Submit, get marked, retry the wrong ones, export to PDF for your tutor.
4
Track and beat your weakness. Per-board topic-strength dashboard surfaces what to drill next. 19 badges, daily streak, recommended-action engine — the platform tells you the highest-leverage thing to do today.
Two ways in.

Frequently asked
Is the lens really necessary or is it gimmicky?
The lens is how the same concept gets explained — pricing strategy through Premier League ticket policy if football, through Eras Tour resale if music. Same spec point, same exam answer required, different example that makes the concept stick. Students who care about football don't suddenly care about Tesco; teaching them through what they care about is just better pedagogy.
Who authors the content?
The Curriculum Circle — Russell Group educators and qualified UK teachers, founded by an LSE-trained Business and Economics specialist. Every question, mark scheme, model answer and case study is CC-original, authored from the public AQA / Edexcel / Cambridge specs.
Does it cover my exam board?
Business: AQA 8132, Edexcel GCSE 1BS0, Edexcel IGCSE 4BS1. Economics: AQA 8136, Edexcel GCSE 1EC0 (with Cambridge IGCSE 0455 depth where it overlaps). Spec maps inside the platform show every spec point and how it's covered.
What if I'm targeting grade 9?
The Grade-9 Stretch tier sits alongside the standard banks: harder MCQs requiring multi-step reasoning, calc-within-MCQ traps, dual-statement format, and 12-mark + 16-mark Evaluate questions with PEEL model answers. Built specifically for top-tier ambition.
