A level revision 2024
Hi all,
Just wanted to see if i could get some feedback from people on here about my A level revision as I am self studying and don't have much guidance. I am studying Economics Edexcel A, Business Edexcel and AQA French
For Economics:
I am going through Dals playlists and understanding/noting down key bits and bobs. I plan to finish the whole course by the end of the month then intend on completing all past papers including AS ones in order to understand topics that i'm weak at as well as practice my exam technique.
for business:
I have gone through the course and will be doing the same as Economics in terms of past papers and practice Questions
for French:
Going through the possible speaking questions, understanding my IRP in depth, practicing grammar through translations and using quizlet to learn all the vocabulary. Regarding P2, i have a tutor guiding me through.
Any guidance or advice would be much appreciated.

For economics, your plan is good. Tho you might want to use flashcards (either digital or physical) to remember the key terms. Also, you may have noticed that most essays are repetitive and they are mostly the same but the examiners sometimes phrase the essay in a way that might make you think that the essay topic is a new one. So I would suggest you to remember common analysis and evaluation points for the most repetitive essays.
Make a spreadsheet where you will insert the marks you score in each past paper and include your mistakes in that spreadsheet. After doing a few past papers, you will notice a few specific mistakes that you tend to repeat. Then you can focus on fixing those mistakes.
And start doing past papers from now. Don't wait till the end of the month. Or maybe just try the questions of past papers that you know you can answer.

I started the P2 content just over 3 months ago and as daunting as it was at first, I think i'm getting there.

Does anyone have any tips for business?
Nope. I do business. Got A in AS. But I don't even know how I got it. I still struggle in it very much

I've made flashcards covering the content from Edexcel spec. I'd be more than happy to share them with you if you want to have a look

I feel that for business, as long as you master the content (which at its base is just understanding of a concept plus 2 pros/cons) then master how to write that content down in the form of exam technique you should be good.

Yes I get it. My main struggle with business is that I can't find an application from the case studies to form a good analysis. I can only catch the EXTREMELY OBVIOUS application marks.
Yes please. It would be really helpful!

Wow those are NOT what I expected. But I think business gives you more variety in A levels. Like studying is less boring hopefully.
My other subjects are accounting and economics
