Product Details
The problem with most flashcard sets is that they answer the wrong question.
A flashcard that defines “elasticity” as “how responsive demand is to a change in price” will not earn you marks. A mark scheme wants: the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. The definition, the formula, and the unit — all three, stated precisely.
Every card in this deck is written the way a mark scheme reads it.
What’s in the deck
358 cards across all core topics:
- Foundations — scarcity, opportunity cost, the production possibility curve, comparative advantage
- Markets — demand, supply, equilibrium, price elasticity, income elasticity, cross elasticity, consumer and producer surplus

- Open economy — comparative advantage, terms of trade, exchange rate systems, current account, capital account
- All 6 appendix terms from Economics Made Simple — the complete 358-term glossary, fully cross-referenced
How the cards are organised
Cards are grouped by topic unit, not sorted alphabetically. Alphabetical order is useful for looking things up. Topic order is useful for learning — you revise a unit, build the connections between ideas in that unit, and move on. Each card states its topic and sub-topic in the header so you can filter your own stack.
Three types of card
- Definition cards — the term on one side, the exam-ready definition on the other, with any synonyms or related terms flagged
- Formula cards — the concept on one side, the formula and its components on the other, with a worked example where useful
- Distinction cards — the most commonly confused pairs (movement along vs. shift, real vs. nominal, cyclical vs. structural unemployment) explained side by side
Who it is for
Students sitting AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics, or Cambridge AS and A Level Economics (9708). Also useful for IB Economics SL and HL. The terminology matches the marking language of all three exam systems.
Works as a standalone product and as a companion to Economics Made Simple — every card maps to a chapter in the textbook.
