OCR A-level Economics past papers and mark schemes
27 papers · June 2017 – June 2024
For OCR A-level Economics (H460), the last heading on this page is Component 03 (Themes in economics — synoptic, any content from components 01 and 02), listed alongside Component 01 (Microeconomics) and Component 02 (Macroeconomics). Each component is listed at 80 marks and 2 hours, with 9 papers under it, so there are 27 files in total and all of them have a mark scheme.
The series run from June 2017 to June 2024, with 24 papers from real exam sittings and 3 specimen papers. Every file opens on Physics & Maths Tutor. Since the synoptic paper can draw on content from both of the other components, you may find it useful to attempt it once you have practised Microeconomics and Macroeconomics separately. Time yourself to the full 2 hours and mark with the mark scheme straight after, while your reasoning is still fresh.
Reschedule is an independent revision planner that builds your daily plan from the specification, right down to individual subtopics. Tell it your subjects, exam board, the date of each paper and when you can study. It places each subtopic before the paper that examines it and adds past papers with mark schemes for each paper, and if you miss a day, the unfinished work moves to your next study days.
