Pearson Edexcel International A Level (IAL) Economics past papers and mark schemes
99 papers · January 2018 – June 2025
There are 99 Pearson Edexcel International A Level (IAL) Economics papers on this page, covering four current units and a matching set of older-specification papers. The current units are ‘Unit 1: Markets in action (WEC11/01)’, ‘Unit 2: Macroeconomic performance and policy (WEC12/01)’, ‘Unit 3: Business behaviour (WEC13/01)’ and ‘Unit 4: Developments in the global economy (WEC14/01)’. Units 1 and 2 last 1 hour 45 minutes, Units 3 and 4 last 2 hours, and all four are out of 80 marks.
The series run from January 2018 to June 2025, 22 in all, and 8 papers are specimens. Each paper has a mark scheme, and 71 come with an insert. The four groups labelled older specification hold papers from the previous IAL Economics specification; they are there for extra practice and do not feed into the revision plan. Most of the files are on Pearson’s site, while some open on Physics & Maths Tutor.
If time is tight, one timed paper per unit each week, marked strictly against the mark scheme, is a steady pace to aim for. Reschedule can hold you to that pace. Enter each paper’s date and the days you can study, and it builds a daily plan down to subtopics, with past papers and mark schemes added for each paper.
