Who's feeling in profit after that one?

So by our calculations, A-level Economics is now 33.333% done and done. So how did it all go?

Labour markets were a no show in the major-marks sections, which made a lot of people very happy - while those 25 markers were...pretty good...?

Here's how the internet reacted - and check the links below for deeper discussion on each paper on The Student Room.

Not everyone was feeling 100% prepared on the way in - there are some topics you really just don't want to see

But labour markets taking a pass on the top-mark sections was a definite win

Then government intervention rode in to the rescue

And some of those other 25 markers were giving the thrills too

What people are saying about A-level Economics Paper 1 on The Student Room

Found it pretty good, anyone do Context B & Essay 2. Pretty sure I got the 2 marker wrong but studied labour markets and poverty literally last night so feeling happy.

This paper1 was so hard especially the 8 marker cross eleasticity problem and section A was also tough
