CIE Economics, repeat? Tips for the exam please

Hey guys. So I got 74% in CIE AS Economics. I expected to get a lot more. I thought my prep was fantastic. After thinking things through, I realised that even though I studied a lot, I didnt make my own notes or practise qps nearly enough. Should I go for a repeat this October? Or should I work hard for an A? While this is my estimation, I most likely missed an A for 3 marks. Any tips you would like to give for preparing for A2? Edexcel peeps are welcome too as their econ is even tougher!

What do your teachers think? If you're continuing to A2 is there really any need? Will it just be extra pressure that you don't necessarily need?

I think you're best having a discussion with your teachers as they know your ability better than anyone on here :smile: Good luck with whatever you choose :smile:
