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.

Economics Today is excellent – I’m asking our library to carry it and look forward to learning from it myself
Professor John Maloney

“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.”
Head of Economics and Business
QEH Bristol
“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.”
