A Level Economics - practice questions?

[mrspartow]

DC is revising for A Level economics mock and would like to see lots of example questions, particularly the longer questions. They have found 3 past papers online, which have helped, but they'd like more. Any suggestions?

The exam boards usually publish all past papers.

Lots here. This website is great for notes etc too.
Econ plus dal and tutor2u have lots of online content too including exam question walkthroughs and multiple choice blasts.

There are many teachers going through exam questions on YouTube too

Thanks all. He's doing the Edexcel 2015 syllabus, so I think that's why there are only past papers available from 2017, 2018 and 2019. Perhaps it would be worth him looking at papers from the pre-2015 syllabus too, and from other exam boards. Are there any economics teachers here who might know whether that would be worth doing? It is particularly the longer questions he wants to see lots of examples of and get practice in.

Ime when they change the syllabus they sometimes release sample papers so the teachers in the first year of a change know what yo expect.

Yes, thanks, he does have a sample paper as well as the three past papers.

Economics is NOT my subject but yes, if a student who did my subject (MFL) wanted more practice and had looked at the very few available past papers for their board, I would suggest practice of other boards' past papers could be worthwhile.

There will be a mark scheme to check answers. But caveat: the set up and questions will not be the same so he should bear that in mind. For example, German A level AQA requires translation skills which would be universally expected; but the word count for literature essays would vary across boards (as would the texts). So he needs to be aware of that (does that ramble make sense?).

I assume he's year 12? It's worth looking at the essays from the AS papers too. That will immediately give him another 8 or so to use (I teach AQA but I'm sure the other board's papers aren't that different).

Good shout @Phineyj, of course AS questions will not be in the final exam and will be different in style to his A-level questions, but it will be good practice.

Probably too late but I just came back to say the obvious answer is to go to the Tutor2u website and buy some papers "in the style of Edexcel" in their shop!

Legacy papers can be helpful. Also papers from the international a level by edexcel are fairly similar in format. Physics and maths tutor has these.
