Synopsis

UPDATED FOR EXAMS FROM 2025, this updated calculation practice book is packed with activities to help students develop their confidence and practice all the quantitative & numerical skills required for Edexcel (A) A-Level Economics. Perfect for homework, cover & revision. Quantitative skills are worth up to 20% of the overall A-level Economics marks and, along with the effective use of diagrams, calculations form an important part of this skill. Every year, Examiners' Reports consistently note that many candidates lose significant marks across a variety of calculation questions. This could be because they have not practised a particular skill (such as calculating percentage change, rearranging formulae, or using fractions and ratios) since GCSE maths, or because of basic errors such as forgetting units or struggling with the scale (e.g. millions or billions). Many candidates also find the newer quantitative skills hard to master, including calculating and interpreting index numbers, converting between money and real terms, and elasticities. The tutor2u Edexcel A-Level Economics (A) Calculation Practice Book contains focused practise on every calculation skill that might be required, with greater focus on those areas that students tend to find most challenging, with scaffolded exercises and plenty of exam-style practice. Question formats include:- Simple calculations Interpretation of answers Hunting for and using relevant data in a body of text Completion of tables Application of calculation techniques to micro and macro data
