A good level of interest in the world we live in will allow you to enjoy and succeed in this course. The Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Advanced GCE in economics is structured into four themes and consists of three externally examined papers. You will be introduced to economics through building knowledge of core microeconomic, macroeconomic, and business concepts, and applying them to business contexts and evidence relating to the macroeconomic environment. Breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding with applications to more complex concepts and models are developed in the second year of study. You will need to apply your knowledge and understanding to both familiar and unfamiliar contexts in the assessment and demonstrate an awareness of current economic events and policies.
In order to gain entry into Robert Smyth Academy Sixth Form you will need a minimum of 40 points, including a grade 4 in English and maths, from your best eight GCSEs.
Assessment is by means of three two-hour papers, all taken in the final summer of the course. • Paper 1 is based on Themes 1 and 4. • Paper 2 is based on Themes 2 and 3. • Paper 3 is based on a pre-released case study which covers all four themes.
