What this practice covers
These questions are drawn from past CIE 0264 Business papers and filtered to quality of goods and services. 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 quality of goods and services, taken from our own topic notes. Read them before you practise and you will recognise the traps in the questions.
- Defining quality as expensive or luxurious. It means fit for purpose and consistent with what was promised.
- Saying quality control prevents faults. It finds them after they have happened.
- Saying quality assurance guarantees no faults ever reach the customer.
- Giving the advantages of quality without a consequence, so the analysis mark is lost.
- Forgetting that quality control still costs money, both in inspectors and in the wasted output it discovers.
- Treating training as free. It is the main cost of quality assurance and the main reason a business delays it.
- Choosing quality control or quality assurance and then justifying the choice by repeating an advantage already listed, instead of saying why it beats the other one for this business.
- Answering with a factory example when the business in the stem is a shop, a cafe or a service.
