Year 13 help: economics and politics

Hi I’m currently in year 13, my subjects are a level economics, politics and btec IT
In IT I’m guaranteed to get an Distinction which is equivalent to an A
But in economics and politics I’m doing so badly, I keep on achieving Es and Ds
Tbh It’s my fault as I messed about in year 12 and still haven’t started revising,
Is there any way to come back from this I really need two Bs minimum for university
Can I still achieve this

Also if anyone has any tips or advice for these subjects I will really appreciate it

Hey @Dataone8!

I loved using Tutor2U for A-Level Economics; they have tons of simple revision videos and study notes for each topic on the Edexcel/AQA specification for free on their website. I studied A-Level Economics under the CCEA exam board, and still used their materials as my primary resource.

For Economics, try to improve your basic understanding of the topics first before venturing into any of the more complicated elements of each topic. Start at the beginning of the spec and work your way through it bit by bit, using the spec as a checklist of what you know and what you don't. You can definitely achieve a B if you put in the effort and start revising now. 🙂

Best of luck,
