Edexcel Sample, AQA Sample, OCR Sample

Examiner assessed Model Answers used in over 500 schools

An exemplar answer to each and every current specification A-level question for AQA, Edexcel 'A' and OCR, covering two specimen series of papers and each exam series from June 2017 onwards. All answers awarded full marks or very close to it, accompanied by comments on exam technique.

Teachers & Students love our resources

Our AQA, Edexcel and OCR Economics packs include model answers to ALL parts of ALL questions from Specimen 1, Specimen 2, June 2017 and June 2018 and June 2019 series across ALL three papers.

We ask the pupils to buy a subscription to your magazine as the syllabus examines current economic issues. Roughly half the articles in the magazine were directly related to questions that were asked in the final exam last year. Also, the pupils have to do a piece of coursework looking at a specific economic issue and the magazine gives them, not only some great ideas, but great in-depth thought on the issue as well giving a starting point at least to work from.

“I have to say the colour coded Edexcel model answers are absolutely superb, and I also used your 2023 exam papers [on due topics] you created.

We had very strong results this year, and these resources were a factor in this.”

“The exam papers on ‘due’ topics have been brilliant for the last two exam series.

Accurate, thought provoking and providing accurate guesses as to the likely content in the summer exam series.

Students have found the contemporary contexts stimulating and by covering a range of topics have helped them to be more thorough in their revision.

An incredibly useful resource, one of the most valuable items that we purchase.”

My son is generally picky about what resources he uses, and has been critical about some of the other content I shared with him. So i was delighted to see a marked change in his attitude and response when he started using your answers and was very excited about them prompting lines of thought he hadn’t previously considered.
I am ever so grateful.

These exam packs are by the far the most useful revision source I’ve used. The quality of answers and the detailed commentary makes me confident that I could achieve a high grade in A Level Economics. Just wish I found them earlier. Thanks, Peter/Ella!
