A Level Economics Quiz 2016 Part 3

20 Questions

Quiz Description

Economics can be defined in so many ways. One of its major definitions is “a subject that deals with the scientific study of the ownership, use, and exchange of scarce resources – often shortened to the science of scarcity”.

The hardest part of learning A-level Economics is that you have to use what you know to apply to the test, which requires you to be fluent in both English and Math because there are so many topics related to it.

Examinations are always a problem for all students. You can dream about an “easy” exam, but can A-level Economics deliver it? The answer will be yes, because as long as you have a good grasp of the exam structure, you will only wish to see it.

The quiz you’re about to take are questions summarized from the June session of 2016. The quiz is made of 20 questions. Each question has four possible answers and only one is correct among the four.

After this set of questions, you can then move on to the next set of questions. To keep on challenging yourself, visit our website.
