How you'll be assessed

There are three final examinations for A level Economics that include a mixture of multiple choice questions, short answer questions and longer essay questions. The A level examinations include one synoptic paper assessing all course content in the context of wider issues in society. In comparison to previous specifications, the current economics examinations contain a higher level of mathematical content, set at a minimum of 20%. It is essential those choosing the course are suitably proficient both mathematically and in their written work. Students are therefore required to have attained a minimum grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics and an English subject along with a grade 6 in GCSE Business where chosen as an option.
