Haha welcome to the economics boat, unit 1 economics isn't so bad it's the long answer and unit 2 is pretty hard but that's not for another 2 weeks so I'm not focusing revision on it until I've finished geography :smile:

Yeah same unit 1 is on tuesday and unit 2 the following week. I done a mock recently and got 1 off a B without revising, quite happy with that. Good luck :smile:
