How should I learn economics in Alevel's course

Here’s a solid plan to tackle A-Level Economics:

1.

Understand the Basics: Start with the key concepts like supply and demand, elasticity, market structures, and macroeconomic indicators. Use textbooks like "Economics for A-Level" by Ray Powell and James Powell.

2.

Watch Videos: Channels like EconplusDal and Tutor2u on YouTube break down complex topics into bite-sized, understandable videos.

3.

Practice Diagrams: Economics involves a lot of diagrams (e.g., supply and demand curves, AD-AS models). Make sure you can draw and explain these.

4.

Stay Updated: Read economic news (BBC Business, The Economist) to link theory to real-world events, which is crucial for essays and exams.

5.

Past Papers: Start doing past papers early. Practice answering in exam conditions to get used to the timing and question formats.

6.

Revision Guides: Use revision guides like "My Revision Notes" by David Horner for concise summaries and tips.

7.

Join Study Groups: Discussing tricky concepts with peers can help solidify your understanding.

Stick to a routine, and you'll grasp the content in no time!
