I'll kick this thread off! Hi, I'm Scarlett! I'm studying Edexcel A Economics. My favourite thing about Economics is looking at case studies and examples that I can use in essays! The thing I struggle with the most is adding enough detail to my essays.

The maths in A-Level economics is essentially limited to basic addition and subtraction and percentage change calculations - I wouldn't worry too much!
