Economics

Assessment

Students will complete weekly essays and tests throughout the two-year course. As economics is a new subject, students find it reassuring to have regular feedback on their progress against the exam criteria. Students will sit two end of year exams at the end of the lower sixth year. In May/June of the upper sixth year, students will sit their public examinations, consisting of three 2-hour long papers in microeconomics, macroeconomics and a synoptic paper.
