How is economics at a-level

I'm currently doing gcse economics and i would like to know how it changes at a-level. Is it harder, is it fun, is the work load alot , etc

chapter 1 : personal life cycle, making decisions, choosing to spend, choosing to save, choosing to borrow money, managing your money,

chapter 2: work , why people work, the reward for work, understanding what affects pay. understanding unemployment

chapter 3: national and global economy, understanding international trade, exchange rates, the power of the consumer, understanding work in the national and global economy.

chapter 4: managing the economy, the economy at work, economic objectives of the government, the economic growth and ethical issues. The role of the EU. The welfare state and its alternatives. Government economic policy.

Incredibly easy. I self teach it alongside 4 other subjects

I do A2 Economics!

Economics is very fun when you understand it, workload isn't that much (everything links together nicely) and fairly easy. I didn't do GCSE Economics though so I cannot comment on a comparison; what topics are you doing at GCSE and I can tell you if they could appear in alevel.

Just curious what you got for your A-levels?

I haven't got my A level results - I'm doing AS this year and predicted AAAAB in maths, further maths, geography, economics and history respectively.

Am I the only one who find its challenging? It's my hardest AS level lol.

Content wise it's quite alright OP, I just mess up on the multiple choice section on part of my paper. I suggest you look at the spec and perhaps watch one or two YouTube videos to see if you like it before you make your decision

Well I wouldn't say it is easy especially if you self study and haven't got the results yet. For a student to aim for an A there is a lot of hard work involved and constant practice of papers to improve exam technique and that's difficult to learn on your own.

It seems you're offended by my saying it's easy. Doing constant past papers is something you should be doing from day one, regardless of your subject, and how it's taught.

Economics has significantly less content to my other subjects. The boundaries are also very fair, and the data questions are relatively open-ended. In addition, 50% of macroeconomics is common sense, particularly for someone doing geography, and some who takes an active interest in geopolitical affairs.

Anyway, economics is an easy subject.

What other subjects do you do?
