What CCEA AS Economics covers, and what it leaves out

CCEA AS Economics is the first year of the 4410 course and a qualification in its own right, examined in 2 units, Unit AS 1 and Unit AS 2. This page holds only what the AS examines: 22 topics across 137 subtopics, 2,083 active recall questions, starting with Key Economic Concepts, The Basic Economic Problem of Scarcity and Choice and Demand and Supply in Product Markets. The 19 topics kept back for the second year are not shown, so nothing here is content you have not been taught yet.

Starting the second year? The full CCEA A-Level Economics page adds the A2 topics on top of everything here.

Spaced Repetition Schedule

How reviews are timed

Levo will automatically distribute all of your progress into a spaced repetition calendar. Once you’ve answered, it’s scheduled for you on the next day in the spaced repetition schedule. Over time, the gaps between your recall get bigger, from a day to three years, reinforcing memorisation over a long period of time.

Economics revision questions

Common questions about revising CCEA AS-Level Economics. Tap any to open it.

What is on CCEA AS Economics?

22 topics across 137 subtopics, examined in Unit AS 1 and Unit AS 2. They are all listed on this page, and each one opens to the subtopics inside it. The full topic list is Key Economic Concepts, The Basic Economic Problem of Scarcity and Choice, Demand and Supply in Product Markets, Markets and Equilibrium, Elasticity of Demand and Supply, Factor Markets: Labour and more.

Does AS Economics count towards the full A level?

Yes. In Northern Ireland the AS units are marked as a standalone AS qualification and also carry forward into the full CCEA A level, which is why the first year matters more here than it does in England. Check the current weighting on the 4410 specification, as it is set by the board rather than by us.

What is the difference between AS and A level Economics?

AS is the first-year units only. The A level adds 19 further topics, among them Short Run Versus Long Run, Business Objectives, Business Growth, and expects you to connect them back to the AS material. Work the AS content here, then move up to the full A level page when you start the second year.

When do you sit CCEA AS Economics?

Normally at the end of Year 12, in the summer series. That gives you one year to memorise 2,083 questions' worth of material, which is roughly 11 questions a day across an academic year if you start in September.

How should you revise for AS Economics?

By retrieval, not rereading. Cover the answer, pull it from memory, then check. Levo runs that loop across all 22 AS topics and brings each question back on a spaced schedule, so what you learn in September is still there in June.

Is it worth revising AS content again for the A level?

Yes, and it is the mistake most students make. The second-year papers assume the first year, and in Northern Ireland the AS marks usually count towards the final grade as well. Keeping the AS material on a spaced schedule through Year 13 costs far less time than relearning it.

How many questions are there for CCEA AS Economics?

2,083, written from the 4410 subject content and grouped into 137 subtopics so you can work one small area at a time rather than a whole topic at once.

Can you use Levo for just the AS year?

Yes. Pick your subject, choose the AS topics on the topic screen, and every mode — the 3-step method, Cram, Blank Blitz, Build It and Test It — works only that material. Add the second-year topics when you get to them.
