Microeconomics A-Level Predicted paper

A complete AQA A-Level Microeconomics predicted paper for 2026, featuring four full data response sections with mark schemes.
Each section uses real-world, up-to-date contexts likely to appear in the 2026 exam:
1. Weight-loss drugs & pharmaceutical markets – patents, monopoly power, market failure, positive externalities
2. Fast fashion & environmental externalities – negative externalities, government intervention (taxes, regulation, subsidies)
3. Dynamic pricing in concert tickets – price discrimination, market power, consumer surplus, government regulation
4. Supermarket competition & supplier pressures – economies of scale, buyer power, oligopoly, monopsony
Every section includes a two-extract stimulus, four questions (5, 10, 15 and 25 marks), and a detailed mark scheme with indicative content, level descriptors and example answers. Questions mirror AQA command words and mark allocations exactly.
Ideal for timed exam practice, mock exams, or independent revision. Covers key specification areas including market failure, market structures, government intervention and competition policy — all through engaging, current contexts students will find relevant.
