The Economics folio is assessed by the school and moderated at Stage 2. Teachers select moderation samples and submit materials online.

The folio should consist of a balanced program of tasks that assess the skills, knowledge, and understanding which enable students to demonstrate their learning across each of the learning requirements.

Students demonstrate their application and transfer of understanding of economic concepts, principles, and models in a variety of contexts. They apply economic thinking to demonstrate their skills of economic inquiry. They apply their inquiry skills and use economic data and information to interpret and analyse evidence.

Each folio task is allocated a word limit. The total word count for the three or four tasks combined should be a maximum of 4000 words if written, or the equivalent in oral or multimodal form, where 6 minutes is equivalent to 1000 words.

Student work should be their own. See Supervision and verification of student work.
