AQA A-Level Economics Paper 3 | 10 Mark Question
Exam technique
Timings: I would recommend spending up to 20 minutes on the 10 mark question in Paper 3
Structure: I would recommend writing a short introduction, 3 or 4 short paragraphs and a short conclusion.
How to write a perfect introduction: I would recommend writing the key definitions and describing the information you would ideally want to answer the question.
How to write a perfect paragraph: I would recommend making an argument in the same favour each time e.g. using the data I agree with the statement. Then, refer to a specific piece of data. Then, analyse the data using a quick calculation if possible, analyse the link between the data and the concept in the question, and concisely explain the limitations of relying on that piece of data
How to write a perfect conclusion: give your overall opinion on the question and balance it if needed by saying why the statement is not guaranteed to be true.
