Case study bank template
Subjects like Business Studies, Legal Studies, Economics, Geography and PDHPE reward students who can use specific examples quickly and accurately.
The case bank table
| Topic | Example | Statistic/detail | Use it to prove | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operations | Company/process example | Specific detail | Efficiency, quality, global sourcing, technology | Too generic |
| Crime | Law reform/case/media example | Year, Act, outcome | Effectiveness, discretion, balancing rights | Outdated or inaccurate |
| Economics | Policy decision or economic indicator | Date/rate/trend | Inflation, unemployment, growth, external stability | Unverified data |
How many examples?
You do not need hundreds. You need a compact set of flexible examples you understand deeply. Aim for examples that can serve multiple question angles.
Quality test
For every example, ask: what judgement can this example support? If the example only adds decoration, it is not exam-ready.
