June 2016 Edexcel A Level Economics a-paper-2-as Mark Scheme

This is the official Edexcel mark scheme for Economics Mark Scheme a-paper-2-as from the June 2016 session. Mark schemes show exactly how each mark is awarded, including acceptable alternative answers, required key terms, and common errors that lose marks. Edexcel mark schemes use notation like "allow," "accept," and "do not credit" to define the boundary between full marks and zero.

This mark scheme corresponds to June-2016-QP---Paper-2-Edexcel-(A)-Economics-AS-level. For maximum revision benefit, attempt the question paper under strict exam conditions first, then use this mark scheme to self-assess. Pay attention to the marking notation: "allow" means an alternative is accepted, "do not credit" means a specific phrasing is rejected even if technically correct, and "ORA" (or reverse argument) means the mark can also be earned with the opposite reasoning.

Edexcel mark schemes reward precise language. For Economics, look for keywords the examiner requires — definitions must include specific terms (e.g., "per unit mass," "resultant"), and calculations must show working even if the final answer is correct. Understanding mark scheme conventions helps you write answers that hit every marking point, not just the general idea.

Based on analysis of 5 official Pearson Edexcel documents (2023–2024).

Underdeveloped chains of reasoning — stating points without 'Because, Leads to, Therefore' steps

“Your responses will score highly if they show clear evidence of development. Examiners are looking for a 'chain of reasoning'. Make one point per paragraph, apply it to the context of the question, and then explain it carefully, step-by-step.”— 9EC0 Paper 1, June 2024

How to fix: Every paragraph must walk through cause → mechanism → effect using BLT linking words ('because', 'leads to', 'therefore', 'as a result'). One stated fact = AO1 only. A two-step chain that shows why the fact matters in context = AO2 (analysis). Examiners describe a chain of reasoning as the single most-rewarded skill.
