Economics self study

I am a current year 12 who is studying AS and A -level economics on my own. I am booked to do the edexcel economics paper at the end of this year. I have used anki to make flashcards and I have finished all of the micro content and have almost finished the macro content (2.4 out of 2.6).

I am now trying to focus on exam practice and exam technique, I have watched EconplusDal's videos on technique but I have struggled to find relevant questions as I do not want to do past papers so early when there are only 16 past papers available for edexcel AS economics.

Does anyone have any advice on what I should do in the mean time ?

Hi there @doorrightsix ,

Good luck with Year 12, I hope it's going really well!

I totally get what you mean with not wanting to start with he past papers just yet because you don't want to finish them too early. My first thought was that there should be questions at the end of each chapter of your subject textbook, which you should have? I know that these are really helpful for a lot of people, and provide a range of exam-like questions for each topic. You could also see if you can find any mock papers made by people, but I know some people charge for these as they make them themselves.

I hope this helps! 😊
