A Level Economics – Micro Topic Tracker 2023

AQA Model Answer Topic Tracker – Micro – 7136/1


How to use this tracker
1. Revise a topic then identify a question to answer or plan an answer to. Timed practice is vital to exam preparations.
2. Spot topics that have not been examined for a while and may be “due” to come up. Question setters have a responsibility to examine
all parts of the specification. Just be aware that topics are also examined through multiple choice questions on paper 3 and do not rely
on topic spotting.
