Economics Factory : Total subject understanding!
Hi, I'm Peter, privileged to lead the A-level Economics Department at Nottingham High School for many years, with a record A*/A grade rate of 92.5% (A* = 62.5%) from a single cohort of over 40 students.
I have many years of experience writing resources and texts that support teachers and give students the edge in their exams and Economics Factory has grown to share this expertise with you.
Our exemplar answer resources have helped students and teachers work together to boost grades for a number of years. A hugely successful collaboration on the AQA set of answers with my wonderful former student Ella led me to create comprehensive sets of answers for Edexcel and OCR which have also sold spectacularly.
We know how loved these resources are from the feedback, such as: "Best results ever - know for a fact that students used your resources religiously."
In March 2021 the business grew significantly to include exclusive supply of the Economics books previously published by Anforme, including my own revision guides, and the publication of the market leading A level Economics magazine, Economics Today. We will offer an ever expanding collection of teaching resources through this website too.
Stick with us - we've got you covered!
Examiner assessed Model Answers used in over 500 schools
We've got comprehensive collections for AQA, Edexcel and OCR, covering all past papers for the current specifications of each.

Our teachers also found it a very useful ‘one stop shop’ to access resources in lessons as and when required.”

We ask the pupils to buy a subscription to your magazine as the syllabus examines current economic issues. Roughly half the articles in the magazine were directly related to questions that were asked in the final exam last year. Also, the pupils have to do a piece of coursework looking at a specific economic issue and the magazine gives them, not only some great ideas, but great in-depth thought on the issue as well giving a starting point at least to work from.

Economics Today is excellent – I’m asking our library to carry it and look forward to learning from it myself

“I have to say the colour coded Edexcel model answers are absolutely superb, and I also used your 2023 exam papers [on due topics] you created.
We had very strong results this year, and these resources were a factor in this.”

“The exam papers on ‘due’ topics have been brilliant for the last two exam series.
Accurate, thought provoking and providing accurate guesses as to the likely content in the summer exam series.
Students have found the contemporary contexts stimulating and by covering a range of topics have helped them to be more thorough in their revision.
An incredibly useful resource, one of the most valuable items that we purchase.”

“As an A level Economics teacher of over 30 years, Economics Factory’s resources remain crucial to the delivery of my A level teaching in this subject. I extensively use the model answers which students find highly informative and add significant value to their own subsequent responses. I cannot commend the resources highly enough to you.”
Paul Smith
Head of Economics, Oaklands School
“Economics Today is essential reading for budding economists everywhere, offering the latest topical thinking from experts on key subjects in the A-level curriculum and beyond”

These exam packs are by the far the most useful revision source I’ve used. The quality of answers and the detailed commentary makes me confident that I could achieve a high grade in A Level Economics. Just wish I found them earlier. Thanks, Peter/Ella!

I’ve just received my latest pack of model answers. Many thanks to Peter Cramp for putting these together.
Would thoroughly recommend. Suggested answer for every single question across all three papers AND written explanations for the multiple choice. These cover all questions on the current specification, including specimen papers. Invaluable!
