economics alevel

Hi there
I’m starting economics alongside sociology and business this year for alevels. but i’m really worried about taking economics because i only got a grade 6 in maths and and in business. i find the bridging summer work a bit confusing but i’m scared i’m going to be the dumbest in the class and find it really hard.
has anyone got any tips?

i got a 6 in maths and 70% overall in my economics a level. there’s really not that much maths. i did business for a level and there is a lot of overlap but it’s more year 2 a level so i wouldn’t worry. what’s on the bridging work?

are you interested in keeping up with the news? i didnt think enough about this when i started econ but ive done it for all of y12 now and its very real world application based. not a huge fan of reading the news tbh but as long as u enjoy it u should be okay :smile:

on the bridging work there is index numbers and two news articles that have heaps of questions
