how to revise economics edexcel a a-level

hi guys,
im currently working at a borderline A (ive been 1-2 marks of it this yr consistently) and i'm kind of lost with this subject 😭. i have no idea how to start revising or even where to start it. ive heard so much- some say do exam papers, and analyse what youve got wrong and go over them but i cant do that for paper 2 because i know barely anything of theme 4 😭

how do you guys structure ur revision.
i want to get a strong A or even an A* but i honestly dont know atp

thanks

Hello I got an A* in my a level economics exam last year and I’m giving away some of my flashcards. I have a tiktok “APstudy” where I preview some of the cards give me a dm on tiktok if you would like access.

I would say atp don't make notes, go through your specification and highlight areas, write down key definitions,formulas and watch videos(econplusdal) and maybe write down the concept e.g the chains of analysis for a policy or topics that have been consistently coming up e.g market failure and labour market for micro and policies and globalistaion stuff for macro and after you understand each concept do exam questions- tutor2u have questions by topic. I had really bad teachers specially in yr 12 and start of 13 so i have had to do everything now by myself.
