Synoptic revision mats are a digital resource designed to help Year 13 A-Level Economics students to develop their skills and confidence with linking micro and macro concepts to a given case study or scenario.

Key features of the Synoptic Revision Mats:

✅ Each volume has five mats, each exploring a different industry or economic scenario

✅ Students answer a series of questions drawing on their knowledge of both microeconomics and macroeconomics

✅ Each mat is provided in pdf format designed to be printed ideally onto A3 paper

✅ Full set of suggested solutions so that students can check their own work.
