π What actually shows up most in your IGCSE Economics (0455) exam?
We analysed 8 years of past papers (2018β2025) β every question, every mark, mapped topic by topic β to see how Paper 1 (Multiple Choice) and Paper 2 (Structured) really weight the syllabus.
Some of what we found:
πΉ Government & the macroeconomy tops both papers, at almost identical weight (~24β25%)
πΉ Economic development carries nearly DOUBLE the weight on Paper 2 compared to Paper 1
πΉ The basic economic problem is tested far more on Paper 1 than Paper 2
If you're revising for 0455, this breakdown could help you focus your study time where it counts most.
