AQA A2 economics - finding questions on past papers

The two files attached list the AQA A2 questions that have been asked since 2003, arranged by topic. I find it useful, when I am revising a particular area of the syllabus, to be able to find a range of data response and essay questions to work through with the class. Note that the questions themselves are not given here, just the date of the papers on which each topic has come up. Although the numbering of the papers has changed, from unit 5 to ECON 3 and Unit 6 to ECON4, and the marks available has also been changed, the actual questions being asked seem to have changed very little apart from a little more context being given to the essays, and the data response questions being set in the context of the EU or of Globalisation; therefore this still feels like a useful exercise.

One problem - you can still find some of the legacy papers from January 06 to January 09 on AQA’s website but you may need to rely on having paper copies available to look up the older questions. If you are missing any of them, I suspect that some enterprising student will be able to tell you how to access them - and the markschemes!
