·         Have you got your revision notes well organised into these topic areas, with key term cards, mind maps, condensed notes?

·         Revise key terms – know your definitions (2 DEF), use glossary.

·         Practice your key diagrams – be ready for diagram test after Easter; how can you illustrate current issues in the world economy or in theory of the firm: energy price capping and game theory, growth in BRICS.

·         If stuck on a topic make use of the Cherwell Economics You Tube Channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/CherwellEconomics/featured

AS Res-its: If you are re-taking an AS exam 6EC01, practice as many Multiple Choice questions as possible, attempt past papers – email your overall score over and any questions that you have marked wrong and still do not get.
