What this practice covers
These questions are drawn from past Edexcel A-Level papers and filtered to macroeconomic objectives and policies. You answer, you find out immediately whether you were right, and you get the reasoning for the correct option and for each distractor. Wrong answers go to a mistakes locker so you can come back to exactly those.
Practice is free. You need an account only so your progress and your mistakes are still there next time.

What examiners see students get wrong here
These are the errors that cost marks on macroeconomic objectives and policies, taken from our own topic notes. Read them before you practise and you will recognise the traps in the questions.
- Listing objectives without identifying a conflict.
- Drawing the long-run Phillips curve as downward-sloping; it is vertical.
- Recommending demand-side policy for structural unemployment.
- Confusing fiscal with supply-side policy, both involve tax, but the target differs (AD versus LRAS).
- Giving only the consumption channel of monetary policy; there are four, plus the exchange rate.
- Forgetting that supply-side policy relaxes several conflicts at once.
- Claiming crowding out unconditionally, regardless of the state of the economy.
