Y12 September Economics Exam

In common with all other subjects, the Economics exam will be just ONE HOUR long.

I would normally have produced a 2 hour paper with both micro and macro essays on it giving you the opportunity to write about quite a range of the material that we have studied this year. Clearly this style of exam will not be possible this year.

This year’s exam then will be a Multiple Choice exam covering the same range of material that would have been in the written exam. In this respect, it will be similar to the multiple choice paper that is on Paper 3 of the actual exam. Most questions will be from AS level papers but where we have covered topics to the full A Level standard you will find some full A Level questions have been used.

Micro

Introductory ideas – Factors of Production, PPC’s etc

Markets – Demand and Supply, all elasticities

Market Failures – the range of market failures, public goods, externalities, merit/de-merit goods etc

Government Interventions in markets – Indirect taxes, subsidies, max and min prices

Macro

The National Economy (see detailed sheet provided with the ‘clinic’ notes on the school website).

There will be numerous AD/AS model questions so you need to fully understand this model.

Important

There will be no questions on the paper from the International 1 section

Resources for revision
