how to get all A*s in my a levels

Economics exam board?

i'm doing economics, business and sociology and its so close to exams but i'm not sure how to revise in order to get all A*s

what u working at now?

i got an A* in my mocks but i cheated for one of the papers

Bruh. Do past papers for economics - or just focus on the essays if you cba to do the whole paper since those are the most important components of the paper. Even if you don't get the essays you revised for, you're likely to have one of the smaller questions that reflect one of your practice essays. 18th May.

okay so i've done all the past papers kind of, now if i make flashcards on every single question i got wrong and memorise them, will that help?

Yeah, should do. Try doing some of AQA's economics questions if you're done with Edexcel past papers.

Great to aim for the top. Don't be disappointed if you don't get exactly what you are hoping for because it is a very tall order and very few people do it.

You've had some good advice in this thread so far.

One very important thing people don't mention - have good routines for sleeping and eating.
Eat regular, healthy meals at consistent times each day.
Get a good amount of sleep each night, no screen time for 45 mins before bed.

so when i'm good at all of the edexcel papers, does that mean im on track for an A*?

Economics is all about the exam technique; if you've got the exam technique down, then yes, you can probably get an A*. You should be marking the past papers you do under timed conditions if you haven't been doing so already, since that'll be a pretty good indicator of what level you're working at.

true! thank youu

thank you! i feel like a lot of private school kids get all A*s and i want to be like them; i definitely have the motivation but i just keep procrastinating :/

Heya!
What are you currently getting? Are you doing practice questions and then going through the mark schemes to identify why you are losing marks? Do practice questions under exam conditions and then mark yourself, see if there is a specific reason you are losing marks and note down how you can improve your marks for next time!

I hope this helps!

So last year, fewer than 9000 people got 3 A and A* grades at A Level (source). We know that 14.6% of all A Level entries were awarded A* and 21.8% were awarded an A grade. (source) From that, I can work out that about 40 000 people got at least 1 A* at A Level. A very crude calculation tells me that about 859 people got 3 A*s at A level, out of a total of around 276 000 people taking A Levels last year. A rate of about 0.003% of people in the country.

The point I'm making is - great to aim for that, but don't be disappointed if you're not in the highest achieving 0.003% of the country.

thank you for putting it into perspective! I just assumed that achieving three A*s is achievable because of how many of my private school friends have been predicted three A*s
