Economics – the study of the production, distribution and consumption of wealth
Our simulations are created by analysing exams from the past three years. Our research with schools indicates that our sims include the type of questions that are likely to be asked in the final exams, and that those who use them can increase their learning speed and scores by over 100%. The simulations are based on the qualifications as shown in the tables below. These are the sims that we currently have available and planned.
