I'm ****ED. I get the structure of how to answer stuff but I need to refresh my memory for the definitions.


Aha! Those nasty definitions. You can Google the economics definition lists online and probably try and cram them. :colone:

I'll churn through them.. Thank god I only have C1 and M1 after, because I'd be sweating myself right now not even gonna lie.

Haha, I'll be sitting M1 too. Probably gonna be here at the end of every exam checking for some unofficial mark scheme.

Make sure you're strong in your graphs and you'll be fine! A2 has a load of graphs.
Doing AS

Had a mock today, was rushed for time on the 15 and 20 marker. I spend too long reading and highlighting the extracts. When I'm rushed I start to forget my structure and forget all these chains of one change leading to another, so my analysis was weak. Hopefully my thorough valuating made up for it, but it didn't feel like I'd done so well. I'll probably get the results next week so will let you know how I did

You should try writing a plan as you go so you don't waste time thinking about your next point and constantly referring to the contexts.
I'm doing AS and am really stuck for macro. I haven't got very good notes from throughout the year and so am relying on the textbook for everything :/ Does anyone know of any good online revision material?
Definitions....Definitions everywhere. That will be the death of me.

thank you!
Doing AS, I've probably failed.
I know the structure of how to answer all the questions and I've been averaging Cs throughout all the mocks, which considering I haven't done one shred of revision is pretty good.

I'm planning to drop it too, so I guess it won't be the end of the world C:

I enjoy macro cuz of the the chains of analysis which i find quite fun lol whereas with micro, there aren't really any chains, just knowledge


Yeah I guess macro is a bit more interesting just like micro because I find it easier lol

Go through as many past papers as humanely possible.
