For the new As economic syllabus - how are you guys revising?
How much revision have you done in economics and what are you doing?

I think the best way is to use the specification and make sure you know everything and use it like a checklist as it has everything that you will be tested on.

Haven't started past papers yet will probably start as soon as I finish all my notes, and what's your exam board?

hmm, to be honest, if you are not intrested in ecnonomics then it may not be fun, as the way its taught it can come off as really boring and a long lesson, however it is not hard as long as you don't fall behind and make notes from DAY ONE, seriously I made the mistake of slacking and it took me quite a while to get back on track, and I wish i started earlier.

Am sure you will do fine then :smile:, I would recommend that after you finish your GCSEs to start revising just a little bit to get a head start

The only thing that's confusing is that since there's no past papers it's going to be hard to practice.

It's a new specification so there wouldn't be any past papers.

Oh no! I thought they only changed when we're doing our exam. I didn't know they changed the specification!
