Hey guys. I completely forgot to post the writing frame I said i would post for econ which I use for my answers.
Economics Writing Framework (for 9, 15 and 25 marker paragraphs)
(AO1) Point 1 (use the question): One option/issue/factor/reason/ to consider is ________________________________________ because ________________________________________________________.
(AO2) Evidence: The story/data/figures state (quote as appropriate) OR An example of this could be when _________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
(AO1/2/3) Analysis in context: This means that _________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ because (refer to theory/diagram/context as appropriate) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
This could/should/does/did lead to (great to refer to diagram here!) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ for ______________________ because (theory/diagram/context) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
(Optional Stretch? More diagram?): This is particularly important in this case because _____________________ could have an impact on _______________________ because _________________________.
Link (refer to question): Therefore, eventually/in the long-run ____________________ will help/be important/be the new situation for ____________________ because (theory/context/more diagram) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
ONLY USE FOR 25 MARKERS AFTER EACH PARAGRAPH
(AO4) Mini-Evaluation (only 25-markers!): However, this will depend on/only happen/be effective/ be risky if _______________________ because _________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________.
paragraph 2 for 15 and 25 markers
(AO1) Point 2 (use the question): Another option/issue/factor/reason to consider is ______________________________________ because ________________________________________________________.
(AO2) Evidence: The story/data/figures state (quote as appropriate) OR An example of this could be when _________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
(AO1/2/3) Analysis in context: This means that _________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ because (refer to theory/diagram/context as appropriate) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
This could/should/does/did lead to (great to refer to diagram here!) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ for ______________________ because (theory/diagram/context) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
(Optional Stretch? More diagram?): This is particularly important in this case because _____________________ could have an impact on _______________________ because _________________________.
Link (refer to question): Therefore, eventually/in the long-run ____________________ will help/be important/be the new situation for ____________________ because (theory/context/more diagram) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.
ONLY USE FOR 25 MARKERS
(AO4) Mini-Evaluation (only 25-markers!): However, this will depend on/only happen/be effective/ be risky if _______________________ because _________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________.
CONCLUSION - ONLY USE FOR 25 MARKERS
(AO4/AO3) Decide (only 25-markers!!): Overall, _________________ is the best option/most important factor/strategy (refer to question).
This is because ___________________________ matters more than ________________________ because of ______________________ ________________________________________________________.
It depends on: This depends on/would only work if/in a situation like _________________________________________________ because ________________________________________________________.
Short vs Long-Term: In the short-term/At first, __________________ _________________________________will lead to/happen because ________________________________________________________.
However, in the long-term __________________________________ should result in ____________________________________ because ________________________________________________________.
Cost: The cost of this action/policy/decision/strategy could/will be _______________________________________________ because/if ________________________________________________________.
Opportunity Cost (Stretch): The opportunity cost of choosing __________________________ is ____________________________ because ________________________________________________.
Most importantly: The most important factor/evidence to consider in this situation is ____________________________________ because ________________________________________________________.
Reminders:
* Feel free to vary your words or sentences as you like as long as the same overall meaning exists.
** Use Economics terminology and theory with context throughout your answer to add depth and take your answer to the next ‘level’.
*** Make links between topics taught across the course to assess the impacts of your arguments.
****Refer to any fully-labelled and accurate diagrams used!!


I will rewrite this out as I’ve just seen it’s really weirdly done

I would say leave the revision for that until you have done the other questions. I can talk to a couple people in my class to see if they have an exemplar for the 10 marker we did because they are so confusing. With regard to the multiple choice.. my microeconomics teacher says that all the multiple choice questions are chosen from a bank of questions so if you revise all of them by doing them all then you’re likely to score high. But honestly leave the multiple choice until the end and if you can do the 25 makers first for all papers. If you understand the concepts to a certain extent then they make it easier to answer the multiple choice questions. I just find the wording is terrible for the multiple choice questions.

do the 25 markers for paper 1 and 2 aswell?

I guess that can be useful to avoid answering them when you're tired, have you found it easier to do that?

Evening guys, i cant lie i am cooked for this subject. Does anyone have any advice for what I can do for the next few days leading to paper 1 and 2 AQA? I am currently trying to focus on exam technique and time conditions for the exam but my economic knowledge will severely hinder me. Should I just trust predictions and hope for the best? Also, of course I know I did this to myself but any advice will be much appreciated! Thank you and have a nice evening and all the best in revision for exams!
