A-level Economics

The best exam techniques are those provided free by the exam board (Edexcel, AQA, OCR) examiners themselves. Simply locate the exam board on the web using your favorite search engine, look up your subject and level, then review the comments from the examiners from the previous years. These indicate where students go wrong, which were the favoured questions and why, and how the answers should have been constructed, i.e.

- Define/describe the keywords/term used

- Use formula/graphs to expand the descriptions

- Use these to analyse to data provided in the question

- Draw conclusions from your analysis

and my favourite - answer the question asked and not one made up by yourself.

Enjoy, it's a fascinating subject and the best of luck

PS Yes you will need maths A Level (at least AS) if you would like to follow Economics at degree level.
