A-level Economics Study Group 2023-2024

I'm in A2/ year 13 doing international A levels (IAL) edexcel economics.
I really like macroeconomics and topics like fiscal policy, monetary policy and economic growth are my favourites.
But, I kinda hate topics like market bubbles, imperfect information and moral hazard of microeconomics.

Hey. I am currently in year 13 economics. Does anyone know of any websites like save my exams that explains economics simply without having to pay for it. I can't find anything. Also just to add tutor2u has some good free resources. Especially the exam topic tracker for AQA A-level economics if you are doing aqa as it has from 2017-2019 papers and where the questions are for each section of the topic so you don't have to guess if its actually what you know or not

Economics resources:

https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/economics-revision/

https://studyrocket.co.uk/revision - scroll down this website and choose "A levels Edexcel economics A"

https://www.economicshelp.org/ (this website is for notes and guides for writing essays)

https://www.savemyexams.co.uk/a-level/economics-a/edexcel/17/revision-notes/

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/63tmfqty2syk5dv/AABURfjfg29o-rNufXLjVM-5a?dl=0 (This has essay samples which really helped me)

https://www.tutor2u.net/economics/topics (for notes and you might even find some essay samples)

As for youtube channels, "EconplusDal" is really good. These are the 3 important playlists of his for AS:

1. For microeconomics (unit 1) - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWeicFreBUYCOFC2A0SlKrpEYgwaSF63t

2. For macroeconomics (unit 2) - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWeicFreBUYDlaLppnRTZpwgBASflf4lU

3. For writing essays (really useful!) - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWeicFreBUYD-AhJtDQ8q-hO7U5Bwd1J4

(He has playlists for year 13 as well)

Surf the websites thoroughly; some of these websites may have more than just revision notes or just essay samples. And even though I mentioned which ones were useful for me, this may not be true for you. You may find those websites useful that I found less informative (for example, I didn't like the revision notes from physics and maths tutor).

Cheers and gl!

Hey guys, I do A-level economics for AQA and I was wondering if anyone had any advice for the 25-mark questions. I am currently getting 18/25 constantly but would like to go higher. If anyone has any advice at all or exemplar answers, I would highly appreciate it!! :smile:

So I actually found that using a writing frame really helps. Do you have one? If you want I can attach a link to the one I use. I found personally that when I write a micro answer my peals are better than my macro and my maco conclusion is more detailed. I will attach the link below for the one I use as I find it helps me structure my answer so I make sure I can write it. My teacher used the analogy of imagine you are blowing up a balloon and then when you get to the however burst the balloon. It kind of helped to be fair. I also do AQA. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IbstdVTOE3RZmJBfhspykJPP7dh4nXOIsK20gsPkYU4/edit?usp=sharing
