These are Edexcel economic essay plans that are very comprehensive, with examples, specifically UK and Nigeria based (as my chosen developing country for Theme 4). I’ve separated the essays into 5 differing parts covering all/majority of the specification. I have divided all chapters into 5 individually to provide option of buying one chapter. The Topics of my essay plans include: International Economies (Globalization (Evaluating both costs and benefits), Causes of Globalization, Patterns of Trade, Specialization and Trade, UK leaving EU, Free trade, Protectionism) A critical essay plan on the causes of poverty and ways to reduce income inequality Essay plans on aid, with relevant contemporary examples in the UK (x2), as well as 2 general development economics essay plans,one on tourism and debt relief and trade liberalization. Essays covering main bullet points on role of the state, including macroeconomic measures for poverty/inequality, international competitiveness, changing levels in taxation and public expenditure, along with problems for policy makers. I memorized all of these in time for my exams and conveniently, my plans had appeared in Paper 2, in verbatim to the specification. Edexcel have a tendency to either draw towards past essay questions from the legacy spec or 16 markers (unit 3) or use bullet points from the specifications. Essay plans are essential in all topics to guarantee your success. These plans inadvertently prepare you for 10,12 and 15 mark responses in section B (Edexcel). Whilst I’ve made these essay plans for Edexcel, the structure is similar to other exam boards, so if the content is relevant it may also be of use. A few of my essays may contain 3 paragraphs because it is nice to have choice when planning and deciding what points you understand easier. In the exam I aim ideally to write 2 detailed analytical paragraphs with heavy convincing evaluation and a strong judgement with extra theoretical weight. Note: majority of the plans are comprehensive, a significant minority of these plans may be less detailed. By doing all of this, allowed me to achieve an A* in my paper 2 exam.
