You need to get yourself a study plan and stick to it, ideally you should be starting past papers now and YouTube is such a great resource for videos to help explain extra things but also if you are struggling in an area speak to your teacher for help. You can always retake the A level again next year to get a better grade.

Hi there,

I'm so sorry that you're in this situation. As someone that also struggled with macro, I understand that it can be challenging. However, the answer is practice and more practice. I'd advise you to go through past papers, write questions, see what you're missing on the mark scheme and rewrite the questions. If you still struggle with concepts, then EconplusDal is awesome. Then, I'd advise you to create a regular routine.

I hope this helps!

All the best,
