I have revised all the content for Economics but my essays are not reaching the top level, what can I do to ensure I get the highest marks?

The most important feature in an A level economics essay is evaluation. This is a common mistake amongst many A level students- an economics essay should not simply be a regurgitated knowledge but rather an evaluation of applied knowledge to the given context. Evaluation is essentially giving the pros and cons of a certain policy or factor, and also what that policy or factor depends on, you can also give different points of view (schools of thought) or how this policy or factor may work in reality compared to in theory. An easy way to incorporate evaluation into your essay is to end each paragraph with 'however it depends upon' or 'this is only valid if'. Evaluating  Once you are used to evaluating every point you make, the quality of your essay will improve dramatically.
