    Yeah, I retook Unit 1, got 61 in the summer, but 87 for unit 2. I need at least a B but preferably an A overall in Economics, and that leaves me needing 173 from A2 or 133 for a B, but hopefully unit 1 went okay, but unit 3 and 4 for the summer for moi.

    What do you need/expecting? I'm predicting a D for unit 3.
    I scabbed an A last time on unit 1 got 80/100 but I resat it so I did both micro units together. I'm going to resit unit 2 which I got a C on in june.

    I need a A, I'm expecting an A/B.

    The depressing moment when you realise you'll probably have to re-sit a re-sit.

    I'm sure mistakes like this happen all the time. Ticking the questions probably just makes it easier for the examiner. But I'm sure they'd look through and check if it seems you missed out a whole question. Don't panic

    Hey there, what exam board are you for Economics,

    I'm getting rather anxious now to say the least, I did the OCR economics F585 paper btw ha

    Good luck for results day.
    Hello hello,

    I did the edexcel unit 1 paper, so we're on different boards. But still, economics is becoming very much a exam technique exam :/

    Good luck to you too!

    Ahh i'm sure they will let you off with that. As long as you didn't answer both sets of questions.

    Which question did you do - Beef or Housing? I found the paper decent but i keep thinking i've done so much wrong in it.

    Good luck

    I just forgot about it as soon as I could after the exam so I don't know how I did.
    But I've got high hopes for unit 5 in june. I really enjoy it.

    OMG no I forgot as well, not sure if I did it or not, but I am pretty sure it doesn't matter at all. they are judging about ur subject rather than something stupid like your careness.

    LOL it will be bad if I got U for Economics. No man kidding no way we will be fine.

    AQA Economics is the same. It's less about substance. It's more about how you write instead of what you write like it should be.
