goto xtreme papers
I am using the specimen as well. And now that you mentioned it, I just realised it never is harder than the actual(Original post by PPF)
BTW you can also use the specimen paper on edexcels website. the real thing is never harder than the specimen paper
Would love to get my hands on some more unit 6 papers though

Re: Edexcel Economics Unit 4: 20th June 2012I got 58 in unit 3 though, I'd need 122/120 in unit 4 :P(Original post by ugk4life)

Re: Edexcel Economics Unit 4: 20th June 2012That is a bit crazy....(Original post by Yumnaarrhhh)
Hey guys, good luck with your exam!
Btw random question..about unit 1 and 2..do you think that it's possible to try and teach yourself? I'm doing my AS this year and I made the mistake of picking bio instead of this..so how hard would it be to teach yourself those 2 units?
Thanks
I am currently doing both biology and econ A level and biology is defiantly easier to teach yourself as it is more about learning facts.
This is being familiar with the essay structures as well as learning all the content - which is WAY bigger.
Good luck if you do chose to do it, but i'd say stick to bio!! -

Well I guess i'd be kind of familiar with essay writing as I am also doing english lit and history, so I thought maybe that would help a bit.
Thanks

Re: Edexcel Economics Unit 4: 20th June 2012when do they aska question like that?(Original post by RJ93)
Which topics do we need to know case studies for guys (i.e. when the essay question says "Using a named example")? And also do we need to know lots of stats and relevant examples to pop into essays and possibly data response? Cheersss -
Re: Edexcel Economics Unit 4: 20th June 2012Sorry I worded it wrong. I meant when it says "...in a country of your choice".(Original post by ugk4life)

Re: Edexcel Economics Unit 4: 20th June 2012oh right.(Original post by RJ93)
Sorry I worded it wrong. I meant when it says "...in a country of your choice".
err im not sure i dont think ive seen any of those questions. -
Re: Edexcel Economics Unit 4: 20th June 2012It means exactly what it says. You select a country that you have memorised statistics for or have done further reading on and answer the question using that information. I hope that helps. Mark schemes for those type of questions are likely to be vague.(Original post by RJ93)
