Staff in the Department have spent some time putting together packs of past paper questions for you to have a look at over the Easter break. How you manage these is of course, pretty much up to you but I suggest that you have a go at at least TWO papers in their entirety over the 3 weeks.
In terms of revision, you might want to take the approach of looking at individual topics and then considering the four main skill areas for each one. With the L6th economists yesterday for example, I looked at the topic of economic growth and considered where the CONTENT (KNOWLEDGE), APPLICATION (CONTEXT), ANALYSIS (WHY?, WHY?, WHY?) and EVALUATION (REASONED JUDGMENT) came in. You could do this for any topic and also for any answer that you write. Miss Gittings has done some really good stuff with the L6th BS students where she has highlighted evidence of these four key skills in different colours in individuals' answers; the results are both colourful and informative.
For help with revison and exam tips, have a look at both Tutor2U and bized.
