The economy,
minuted.
Economics A is the Treasury's syllabus: half of it asks how a single market clears, the other half asks why a whole country doesn't. We teach both sides from zero, then drill you on 502 exam-grade questions until the 25-marker feels routine.
The brief, in two columns.
AQA splits the subject clean down the middle: Individuals, firms, markets and market failure on one side, The national and international economy on the other. Every section below is a full taught course — hook, worked examples, misconceptions, exam technique — and every one links straight in.
Individuals, firms, markets & market failure
The national & international economy
Annexes: the three skills that get paid.
AQA marks Economics A on four assessment objectives — knowledge, application, analysis, evaluation. Everything on this desk is built to convert those objectives into marks.
The 25-marker, defused.
Papers 1 and 2 both close with an essay worth 25 marks — the single biggest prize on the exam. We train the full shape: a judgement that actually answers the question, chains that earn analysis marks, and evaluation that isn't just "it depends".
K-A-A-E, every paragraph.
One paragraph, four moves: state the theory, pin it to the context, run the logic chain, then weigh it. Practise the sequence until it's muscle memory and the mark scheme starts working for you.
Draw it or lose it.
Cost curves, externality diagrams, AD/AS shifts, labour-market equilibria — examiners reward diagrams that are labelled, shifted, and referenced in the writing. We drill all three habits, not just the sketch.
Recommendation: begin immediately.
The desk advises that candidates who practise little and often outperform candidates who cram. The bank is free during beta, the lessons assume nothing, and the first question is thirty seconds away. Approve and proceed.
