What this practice covers
These questions are drawn from past CIE 0264 Business papers and filtered to legal controls. You answer, you find out immediately whether you were right, and you get the reasoning for the correct option and for each distractor. Wrong answers go to a mistakes locker so you can come back to exactly those.
Practice is free. You need an account only so your progress and your mistakes are still there next time.

What examiners see students get wrong here
These are the errors that cost marks on legal controls, taken from our own topic notes. Read them before you practise and you will recognise the traps in the questions.
- Describing legal controls as protecting the business. They protect the customer, and the business benefits indirectly.
- Reciting a named consumer law from one country. The syllabus asks for the purpose and the effects, not the statute.
- Saying a claim is only misleading if it is a direct lie. A true statement can still create a false impression.
- Giving only the costs of legal controls, which leaves nothing to weigh in an evaluation.
- Saying legal controls stop advertising. They restrict what may be claimed; the business still advertises.
- Assuming the manufacturer deals with a faulty product. The customer's claim is against the seller they bought from.
- Treating a fine as the main cost. Recalls, lost reputation and refunds usually cost far more.
- Writing about the marketing mix instead of the law when a question asks about legal controls.
