I'm thinking of taking Economics AS Level this year iA  but the thing is i need someone to show me where i can find the Whole syllabus so that i kno what i need to study.

I didn't take anything related to commerce in my IGs so will that be a problem when i take Eco in A Level ?  :-\

I went thro the Edexcel site and found this page and then didn't kno where to find the place where i can find the whole syllabus *   http://www.edexcel.com/quals/gce/gce08/economics/Pages/default.aspx  *

If i have doubts and post them over here will someone help ?  *cuz very few take eco in A lvel ? *
Thanks In Advance .

Here is the specification.

For economics you can take one paper in Jan and one in June, so its best to give them both together, in June.

I am always sceptical of parents teaching their children an A Level subject, your father does not know the techniques to answer the questions, and perhaps may not go into adequate depth about the subject matter.
Often, he may teach you the practical stuff more, and ignore a lot of the theory. So unless you can find a suitable teacher, I feel it best not to take the subject, Eco is equally defined by both theory and technique.

And yes, quite a lot take economics actually, and it does not matter whether it is CIE or Edexcel. So yes, people can help you. I will also give you a very useful e-mail, that you may use to help yourself.

I've taken Economics at A Level... And it does require a notion beforehand so that you can understand the more complicated concepts.

I'm taking the Cambridge papers, I don't have the syllabus for Edexcel.

But still, I do have a notion about the subject. My sister studied Commerce, and lemme tell you, Commerce and Economics are not totally similar. Sure, SOME concepts in Commerce will help to understand Eco better, but Eco is more logic, forecasting, politics...

For CIE, answering Economic questions depends more on the country. Like if we, Mauritians use the study guide of Japan, throat cut.  ::)

Is your father a teacher? If not, you can take tuitions. Here, I agree with Dude. If you want to take Eco, you have to be really good at it, and find an equally good teacher. Cause it's more complicated than any other subject, frankly speaking.

tbh honest I'm still thinking abt it but my sis recommended accounting as more ppl at home can help (and we have loads of books as well and i can get a lot of resources in the net )  but in both cases I'll have to depend on myself most of the time ,cuz Dad is also a busy man ,u see .

He is not a teacher but he is a financial controller in the company he works for.

Alpha:
Accounting is easier, and more.... 'stable'. ;)

Then, I guess, you'll better find a teacher. Cause Eco keeps changing with time.
