The A-level Economics course explores several theoretical ideas which are not always initially obvious or intuitive, and thus sometimes require various explanations and reinforcement to fully grasp. Since the majority of the marks gained in the Economics exam are essay-based, the majority of the sessions will be spent going through these concepts and trying to understand not only the effects that they may cause in the future, but the mechanics behind why these concepts exist in the first place. Within the Edexcel course, a majority of the larger, more sophisticated ideas can be explained and justified through diagrams, and so understanding how to construct and manipulate these diagrams will be imperative to future success. This will thus be heavily focussed on throughout the sessions. Hence, due to the nature of the topic, a typical session will usually consist of an explanation and discussion around a topic, exploring how it may affect different areas within economics, and how we can form a detailed chain of analysis using certain concepts. Only when a strong understanding has been established will we move onto short answer questions (Section A), and finally move onto planning full essay answers. It is important to note that we will never write a full essay within the sessions (unless explicitly asked to) since it is time-consuming, and we can gain the same outcome by simply planning said essays.
