I actually had a nice day back until I realised I've done no revision for an economics mock on Thursday. I've got a whole lot of time to learn the entire microeconomic topic considering I'm awful at economics!

You've got a mock already :biggrin:. Microeconomics isn't too bad though, it's better than macroeconomics :tongue:

How did you get into A2 Economics :biggrin:, there's plenty of good notes on the physics and maths tutor website, it'll take like half a day to read through the notes though :colone:

I absolutely hate edexcel, they ruin peoples lives :biggrin:. For my exam this year, unit 1 was an absolute car crash, they were on like crack when they were making that paper and i ended up getting 28/80 which is a U. Paper 2 was bliss, i got 79/80 and came out with an A overall at the end :u:

It's a 2 year course. Our teacher thought the AS would be a waste of time, which in my opinion is true, considering you can run off with an A overall with a C at AS (which IMO shouldn't be the case).

And trust me, I've done notes, tried explanations and nothing works. I need a verbal explanation of the theories and then be told why it's like that.
