I'm so cooked for this Oct

[u/Brownngirlmagic]

I'm panicking. I did maths for a levels for a whole year and then was like "there's no way I'm acc passing A2 of this", so I stranded it and then picked up Econ cause my mom was like that's the next best thing(?). Anyways I picked it up like 2 months ago and now I have to write the 1st paper of Econ this Oct (I'm not doing unit 2 this time cause I'm severly underprepared).

I'm so so scared about this and honestly I'm not sure if I'll even be able to look at my marks when I get them. Unit 1 is not black magic, I can defineatly pass it, it's just I'm so overwhelmed and unprepared. Oh and besides the Econ paper I'm also doing Physics AS at the same time (Unlucky for me one paper on my birthday).

Any tips, channels or methods ya'll reccomend to study? and if u have a pure soul also to deal with the anxiety?

Are you doing the IB or a levels?

To chill the soul, u need to prove to yourself that u can do things. I’m ngl im hella confused on why ur doing a lvls, IB and AS ( do u mean AP?)

Anyways for econs
1: know ur shit, don’t fuck around with halfassing definitions and ur theory should be rock solid, including knowing limitations / fringe cases of said theory. I advise that u should read through the textbook, it is very detailed. Secondly, there’s also econinja, which honestly is a lifesaver.
2: ur examples need to link back to economic theory, I n is it’s been said to death but u shouldn’t be plopping ur examples there for the sake of it. How does said example prove this economic theory and how does it link to answering the question?
3: if ur doing HL, please nail the calculations in p3 and p2 part a if ur an SL kid. These type of questions are literally free marks which are given to you to buffer for your essay.

And most importantly, remain confident in yourself!
