A Level EconomicsA2

What A Level Economics covers

Cambridge International A Level Economics (9708) builds on AS Level with more advanced content: the price system and the microeconomy, including the theory of the firm and labour markets, government microeconomic intervention, the macroeconomy, government macroeconomic intervention, and international economic issues. AS content is assumed knowledge.

How A Level Economics is assessed

• Paper 1 (AS): multiple choice, 1 hour.
• Paper 2 (AS): data response and essays, 2 hours, 60 marks.
• Paper 3: multiple choice on A Level content, 1 hour 15 minutes, 30 questions.
• Paper 4: data response and essays on A Level content, 2 hours, 60 marks.

Where students lose marks

• Theory of the firm diagrams. Cost and revenue curves must be drawn and labelled precisely.
• Shallow evaluation. A* essays consider assumptions, time scale and context.
• Weak use of examples. Real-world examples make evaluation convincing.
