A Level Economics (A) Edexcel Exam Technique Guidance

(1)
This document explains how to approach all types of questions . I have tweaked and improved this over a number of years based on feedback from other schools and other top educational organisations . This has been a life saver for my students and all of them have a copy of it in their folders and refer to it when practising questions and preparing for exams. It explains the exact breakdown of what to do for each question type for the Edexcel Economics course (all three papers). It explains what makes a perfect paragraph, the levels for 10+ mark questions and how marks are allocated for different question types, as well as the overall paper structure for the three A Level papers. Included at the end is a good check for understanding worksheet for students to assess their own understanding of the exam requirements. I print those last two pages our regularly to reinforce this. All my students love this resource and so will yours! Happy shopping!
