    Text: Economics by Denis L. O' Grady (Folens)
    Revision Book: Rapid Revision Economics

    Past papers and marking schemes also essential

    Understanding Economics by Delaney and Rapid Revision Economics are the two best by far. Read the Sunday newspapers and keep an eye on the statistics/news. You don't need a abig thick curriculum book like whats in school at the moment. HAlf the stuff will be missing anyway and you'll spend more time reading than learning.

    Could anyone tell me if it's worth taking up Economics? I'm going for about 580+ points and I'm a repeat. I've already taken up Ag Science but it's all timetabled in and we should get the course done. I'm thinking of dropping Irish, I don't think I have what it takes to move up from the B.. anyone got any ideas? I'm only doing 7 honours and if I took the Economics I'd drop the Irish HL...
