HOW MARKING WORKS
Where the marks actually go
An H2 Economics essay question comes in two parts, the first out of 10 and the second out of 15, and each part is placed in a level by its descriptors. Analysis is credited when the chain of reasoning is complete: the cause, each step in between, and the result, tied to a diagram where one helps. Evaluation is marked on its own, and it is earned by a judgement that weighs the argument against the context in the question. Repeating the points already made earns none of it.
Length does not move an essay up a level. A shorter answer whose reasoning has no missing step is placed above a longer one that jumps from cause to result. And a diagram earns nothing by being drawn. It has to be used in the explanation, with the shift and the new equilibrium described in words.
WHAT YOU GET
Write it as you would in the paper
You practise real H2 Economics essay questions and answer them the way you will on the day. Type them, photograph your handwritten working, or draw straight onto the screen. It comes back marked immediately, ladder by ladder. You see the band each part of the essay reached and what the next band up asks for, rather than a single total and a model essay. If an explanation does not land, you can ask for the same thing again in plain words.
