apt4 AQA A-level Economics: Practice Mock Exam Paper 1 on Markets & Market Failure (1 of 4)

This is the first of 4 Practice (Mock) Exam Papers for AQA A-level Economics Paper 1 on Makets & Market Failure, including mark schemes with detailed example answers, written by a senior examiner for multiple examination boards and experienced teacher of AS & A-level Economics.

The full set of 4 question papers have been written to include questions that test as many areas listed in the specification subject content relating to Section 4.1 as possible.

Question papers, mark schemes and answers have been written taking into account the specimen assessment material (SAM) for A-level Paper 1 published by AQA for the launch of the new A-level Economics specification (from 2015). The structure, style and format of question papers and mark schemes are in line with this SAM, with a few minor differences / additions considered beneficial for teachers and their students.

For questions carrying high marks, the detailed example answers provided:

are written in paragraph form.
contain a range of comments that attract a mark.
include annotations that show where individual assessment objectives (ie Knowledge, Application, Analysis and Evaluation) have been demonstrated.

These Practice (Mock) Exam Papers are one of several resources published by APT Initiatives Ltd to support teachers and students taking AQA AS and A-level Economics. Multiple Choice questions (interactive and printable tests) have been produced for AS Paper 1 and AS Paper 2, as well as for the entire AQA A-level specification, and Practice (Mock) Exam Papers have also been produced for Paper 2 (on Section 4.2 of the A-level Specification) and Paper 3 (on the entire A-level Specification).
