Introduction

AS units of the new GCE2008 specifications were sat for the first time in January
2009. As support for teachers on Results Day, this booklet has been prepared as an
exemplification of how marks were awarded to the written paper for 6EC01
Economics during the January 2009 examination. It features work produced by the
candidates in the actual examination. It contains the questions and mark schemes,
together with examples of student answers plus marks for each exemplar response. It
does not include exemplars for every question on the paper, but only those where
contrasting levels of response could be produced.

Currently, the booklet does not contain commentary by senior examiners on the
exemplars. Towards the end of March these documents will be updated to include
examiner commentary on the sample answers, and will be republished on the
website.
