Economics a level test help me

I have just realised I didn't include data accidentally for any of the 15/25 markers that needed it......this is because I got too carried away with answering the questions themselves. My essays were very good, but dont refer to the extracts or data even though they are in the context of the question asked. I realise that the levels cap you at certain marks for this.

Can someone tell me if they would cap me at a mark for not including the data even though my responses were really good.

Hi are you talking about the alevels this summer. I did edexcel but ummm yeah you don’t get capped if you use quotes from the extract. They actually say in the examiner reports in questions above 8 marks it’s more about application to the real world. So things like the budget deficit of the uk or the gini coefficient of china. It’s more about putting things into context and not just quotes and quotes. I did my econ this summer too I wouldn’t worry about it. You’ve got this ❤️
