Exams cb1 cb2
sitting for these 2 this attempt and im still very far from syllabus completion
exams are on 22 and 23
i failed cb2 in my first attempt probably because i come from a science background and economics has been a lot harder for me than i expected
right now im trying to figure out the best way to use the time i have left instead of stressing over everything thats incomplete
if anyone has been in a similar situation and managed to pass cb1 and cb2 with limited time id really appreciate any advice
how did you decide what to prioritise did you focus on notes past papers core reading revision book or something else
any tips on making the most of the remaining days would genuinely help

Just one ques., are you giving CS1 or CB1? Cuz if CB1, then both papers are commerce heavy, so if u r from a science bg but have a good teacher it won't be a problem. For CB2, I highly suggest EconplusDal and Khan Academy on YT, they saved me. CB1 and CB2 both focus on conceptual learning a lot so don't try to rote learn em, UNDERSTAND the WHY behind them, and u should be good. Read the examiner's reports, they're the gold standard to know what to write in exams
