Economics paper 2 tips and resources URGENT HELP!

Hey everyone, I’m taking IGCSE Economics (0455) and I really want to improve my Paper 2 marks. Right now I usually score above 70/90, but I’m aiming for consistent high 80s or even full marks eventually.

I’m writing my actual IGCSE this Friday, so I’d really appreciate any last-minute advice from people who scored very high in Paper 2 or improved a lot over time.

Some things I’d love help with:

  • Best answering techniques for 6 and 8 mark questions
  • How detailed examiner-style answers should be
  • Common mistakes that stop students from getting full marks
  • Tips for evaluation and analysis
  • How to manage time during the paper
  • Any resources, YouTube channels, notes, flashcards, or model answers that genuinely helped you
  • How you structure answers to maximize marks
  • Any PDFs or worksheets specifically for the calculation parts (PED, PES, percentage change, inflation, index numbers, etc.)

I sometimes feel like my knowledge is decent, but I’m probably losing marks in the way I explain or evaluate points rather than the actual content.

Would really appreciate any tips, tricks, resources, or even sample answer structures that helped you score really high. Thanks 😄
