What do teachers say about this resource? (12153)
I like this resource, there is a good variety of questions and a good variety of topics. The questions are useful for revision purposes, as well as practising exam technique because they are similar to the style of questions in the OCR exam. The case studies are up-to-date, just as they would be in the exam.
I really liked the passages which students have been asked to read. They are up-to-date, engaging and include lots of relevant data. They are interesting just as a standalone read in order to get background knowledge even if students do not answer the questions. The passages could be used in order to gain knowledge of the wider economy as well as different policies the government has used over the last few years. It even includes questions on the failure of the mini budget which is really topical and is something which students will have followed in the news.
What do teachers say about this resource? (12150)
I like this resource, it is small sections of the syllabus addressed by a variety of different length questions which is very useful for students for revision and for teachers at the end of a topic. The text book has many questions but this resource is split down into sections and has mark schemes as well which the textbook does not have so this is a useful addition.
I liked that each chapter was one or two topics so that students could focus on one area at a time using it to test if they have understood. I liked the variety of questions, there is a good mixture of calculations, definitions, short answer questions, extended questions and essays. All of these are tested in the exam so students get a good amount of practice at these questions. I like that the data is all up-to-date. I also like that at the top of the page it specifies the topic and specification area the questions are from.
I would use this with the students I tutor, I would give it to them as a homework task which we would then go through in the next lesson

The text book has many questions but this is split down into sections and has mark schemes as well which the textbook does not have so this is a useful addition. The questions are slightly easier than exam questions in that they are a little more direct rather than being obscure like exam questions often are. This means that this resource is useful for using before students tackle exam questions.

So much has changed in the economy over the last few years, it’s good to see resources which are addressing these issues.

[Students] can use it at the end of the topic for revision. It would be very useful for teachers to use as a topic test when they have completed topic. They would also be useful for use before exams as revision. The answers mean students can use this for independent learning, or teachers can set it as homework to mark. The answers are reasonably detailed so that on the whole students will be able to see where they have gone wrong and what they need to do to improve. This means that the resource can be used to enhance learning. It can also be used for independent study if a teacher is absent or they need to set some work over the holidays as there is enough guidance in the mark scheme for the students to be able to self mark.
