A-LEVEL ECONOMICS

Learn to use the model (diagram) — and think like an economist

George Chantry · Professional A-Level Economics tutor · Oxford First, 3 prizes in economics · Tap on the diagram the correct answer to every question. Every game carries its past paper question — and a REVISE mode with every answer labelled.

George Chantry made this game to engage students with the model in A-Level Economics. Have a go and see if you like it — shoot the right part of the economics diagram. The diagram is the model, for the purposes of A-Level Economics — and economists always think through the lens of a model. So whatever part of A-Level Economics you want to approach, knowledge of the model and how to use it is fundamental: both to being competent at economics, and to getting an A or A* in your exam. And it’s fun at the same time.
