I got a U in chemsitry in year 12 and ended up with a B. It’s definitely possible. I didn’t do essay subjects but I know there’s a lot of online resources and YouTube videos and such. Is there any other teacher in the department or who teaches a subject that has similar structured essays that you could ask? Could you talk to students in your class that scored higher than you?

unfortunately economics is like a one of a kind subject as the marking schemes award marks in a way which only an economics teacher would know. As for the students in my class well they're all in the same boat as me. Thanks for the helpful advice tho appreciate it.
