Hi there!
I am doing the AQA exam board
I enjoy how logical economics is and also the graphs.
The area I struggle with most is probably exam technique
I chose to study it because it fits well with my other subjects and I believe (I hope!) I'm good at it (or at least I'll become good at it)

Hey! Amazing, how are you finding things so far?

Things are going quite well thank you, considering I moved to a new sixth form last minute! I have two Economics teachers and both seem like they are very knowledgeable in what they teach and are happy to teach it, very enthusiastic!

Oh wow, moving last minute must have been a lot to handle! Are you enjoying your new sixth form? I’m so glad your teachers are nice too 😊

Hii,
I am doing AQA Econ,
The thing I enjoy is that economics is learning about the connections between the theory and how it applies in the real world.
The area i struggle most with is the nasty multiple choice questions.
I choose to study economics because i did it in GCSEs and I just really enjoy learning the theory.

Ooh, lucky! My school didn't have econ as a GCSE option. How was it? I do AQA economics at A-levels now too!

Econ at GCSE was very interesting, its the same knowledge taught at the start of yr12 but much more simpler. How are you finding econ rn at A-levels?

Not too bad, I did Business at GCSE so it makes a lot of sense, and the graphs are all right as well, thankfully 😄Hbu?

It's nice to see that GCSE business came in handy for you at A-level econ. Currently, in class my teacher makes us do a lot of essay practice (Set as homework) which is really helping me get the gist of how to format my answers. overall it good tbh!

Hey, Im in year 11 doing GCSE AQA Business and planning on taking AQA A Level Economics next yr along with possibly biology and english literature, is this combo good, idk what i want to do maybe law, but is econ good or very mathsy or tolerable maths
