• Independent Work – you should be taking ownership of your own learning, reading around the subject and doing extra work at home making sure you fully understand concepts.
• Long Answer Questions (18 marks) – completing these from past papers can provide a great way of checking your understanding and help you identify areas for further development.
• Wider Reading – this could include journals and should definitely include newspapers such as the Sunday Times Business Supplement.
• Take a Subscription to Business or Economics Review.
• Becoming a Sixth Form Mentor – come along to lower school lessons and share your understanding. A programme can be tailored to your available study periods.
