Economics

Assessment

The A-Level is assessed purely on exams which are taken at the end of Year 13. We use the AQA exam board and there are three separate papers which are: • Paper 1: Markets and market failure • Paper 2: National and international economy • Paper 3: Economic principles and issues These exams combine a mixture of question types including multiple-choice knowledge questions, essays, and data response questions. The nature of the content and the assessment means that you need to have strong written and mathematical skills so you will need to achieve a grade of 6 or above in English and Maths.
