I'm not a very good person to ask but your AS results are amazing so who knows? How did you get such good results, especially in Economics? Any tips?

Past papers.

Honestly, once you have a basic understanding of the content - do nothing but past papers. Make sure you do them all - 3, maybe 4 times if you can until you get full marks in them all (obviously this is only realistic if you start your revision early; I started in January).

Past papers are great because you get a feel on how they want questions answered. And additionally, once you've done them all, you find the questions in the actual exam sometimes a mirror of questions you've already done.

Best of luck, though :smile:

Yeah I've heard they can be a bit strict at times with GCSEs and since Economics is their flagship course I can see why you would be worried. However some of my friends who applied for LSE Econ in the last cycle told me they were asked for their UMS and in that case you would definitely stand a good chance. Also get your UMS emphasised in your reference. Definitely email them - let me know how it goes :smile:
Is this legit because you said you were in year 12 in another thread...
