Cambridge Economics 9708 questions

AS builds the foundation in economic ideas, resource allocation, markets and policy; the A2 context adds the wider macroeconomic, trade and development work required for the full A Level route.

The course develops model application, data interpretation, policy analysis, evaluation and structured economic argument.

Economics has configured AS and A2 contexts, so a level is required to load the correct syllabus, assessment information and resource URLs.
