Set up an H2 Economics paper

H2 Economics Paper 1 uses a Structured paper type and Paper 2 uses an Essay paper type.

In the Paper type dropdown, choose the option that matches your paper. For the full steps, see Create an assignment.

Paper 1: Case studies​

  • Choose the Paper 1 option, marked (Structured).
  • Show clearly where each mark is earned in your answer scheme (your marking scheme). For example, list the figures students must quote, or the concept you expect by name, such as PED (price elasticity of demand), YED (income elasticity of demand) or PPC (production possibility curve).
  • For diagram questions, say which diagram you expect and what earns each mark, such as the direction of a shift or labelling the curves.

Paper 2: Essays​

  • Choose Essays (Essay).
  • Under Do you have an answer key?, choose Yes, I'll add it and upload your marking rubric or band descriptors if you have them.
  • For diagram questions, say which diagram you expect and what earns marks, as for Paper 1.

A full Paper 2 with Sections A and B​

The list also has Paper 2 (Sections A and B) (Structured). Use it for a full Paper 2, where students answer three of the six essay questions: one from Section A, one from Section B, and one more from either. Each question has part (a) for 10 marks and part (b) for 15 marks.

  • You must upload your answer scheme in the Answer key box.
  • To set how many answers count towards the mark, open the assignment page after you create it.
Try a few first

For a new essay paper, choose Let me mark a few myself first when you start marking. You mark two or three scripts, and ren. compares your marks with its own. It suggests fixes to the answer scheme before it marks the rest. See Mark a few first.

Mixed or other papers​

If your assignment mixes papers, or none of the options match, choose Custom.... See Choose a paper type.
