    What book are you using? Make sure it's up to date. I used that blue Folens one that's around since like 2002 and it was grand for the theory but obviously the macroeconomic stuff wasn't up to date. Also there wasn't really any exam hints or how to answer questions.
    Are you taking grinds or anything? What I did was economics in school for 5th year, then I needed to change my timetable in 6th year so I studied Economics on my own for 6th year. I didn't take grinds but I went to the Christmas revision course in the Institute of Education. Got good notes there so after that I don't think I used the book at all.

    Thanks ,
    I'm using "Positive Economics" published this year. No , Currently not taking any grinds, but the Counsellor did mention that I would be going to the IOE for revision course later in the year.
