i'm currently a uni student and selling my A Level Econ notes and I have fully developed essay plans on nearly all the evaluation points on the spec if you're interested! I got an A* just from those notes and essay plans so message me if you want to buy them - they're fully electronic, hand-written notes that I can email over to you ASAP :smile:

I need so much help. The exam is monday and idon’t know the content well. I’ve finished all my notes, and im attempting exam qs but I can’t even answer them. Howam I meant to get prepared in less than 2 days ??? Istruggle a lot with section A. Everytime i attempt questions I get them all wrong. Do you guys think it’s better if i solidify the content or continue doing exam questions? Also if you said to do exam questions do you think i should be doing these with or without my notes? I also have a sociology exam that monday so im trying to balance it out.

i would say learn content on your weakest topics eg. econplusdal or something and then attempt a few section a questions on them to solidify the knowledge. but i think content if more important because if you don't know content, you really can't answer the questions at all.

i find it really helpful to devlop a few really solid chains of analysis because alot of the time you can adapt the same chains into different contexts. in macro a lot of it is kind of like full circle. apart from financial markets i find they all link in some ways

Supply of loanable funds increase which shifts the supply curve right which reduces interest rate.its called loanable funds theory if u wanna do more on it
