ECAA 2020 Entry

The economics essay part of the paper, are you meant to answer using A level economics that we learnt in class? Or is it more based on articles i may have read and more opinion based answers?

they give you an article/section of text that is usually economics based - in 2019 we had to write an essay on brain drain, however they gave an Economist article to read from. Usually it is common sense, you don't need to use diagrams/market theory or whatever.
The maths is mostly A Level maths but a bit more problem solving style, as long as you practise past ecaa questions/tsa questions it should be fine.

I was trying out this paper for practice and was totally stumped on how to answer section 2 for both 2017 and 2018 because it was like tasks rather than one big essay so I didn't know how to formulate an argument throughout the piece
How did you tackle the q? Man I'm so stressed about section 2 I can't write an essay to save my life

I remember using the bullet points as a guide for my main points-
introduction
main point (including point, evidence, analysis and evaluation)
main point
etc.
and then conclusion (your view)
