Edexcel A-Level Economics A

I would really appreciate any help you could offer with the economics exams this year (2019). We can all help eachother. Things like revision notes, resources, predictions etc.

Haven't really seen many posts for Edexcel Econ A, surprised with there only being 2-ish weeks left!

Having been through the recent examiner reports, Chains of analysis (/reasoning) is extremely important to enter Level 3 band for KAA, which is essential when aiming for grades A/A*.

This series of videos available on Tutor2u is honestly great, each 4-5 minute videos (probably take 2-3 hours tops to watch/ understand them all) and he explains how to effectively analyse to help you flow onto a better evaluation (linked below)

EconplusDal also has some great videos coming up to exams, including live streams answering students questions. One of his recent videos gives general stats for 2019, being essential for those application marks in long essay questions (linked below):

Any other good resources you've found, please do share!

Definitely worth rinsing through Econplusdal's videos. They tend to be only around 10 mins long so plenty of time to go through them all before the exams.

Then working through the Tutor2u essay guides for more detailed analysis and evaluation.

P&MT is another go-to for revision notes - although I find a lot of it has been pulled from Dal's videos and some topics are missing some key info. Still handy to brush up with.

Also worth noting Tutor2u's MCQ series below. Handy for general revision and also AQA Paper 3:

I found this video really motivating in a moment of stress too!
