  6. My Oct/Nov results released today and I got an A* in Economics, without the help of any book or a teacher, solely with these notes and past paper practice/mark schemes. Thank you for uploading these notes!

      1. Is it enough if I just read this notes and practice past papers? I will be sitting for this in 2023 May/June series and I have been struggling using the textbook. Notes are much easier so thats why

        1. Hi Varshi, we would suggest going through the text book and practicing past papers first. Our notes are great revision material you can use to brush up on all the concepts.

    1. This is IGCSE Economics (0455) which is similar to 2281, but not exactly the same. Please go through the 2281 syllabus and ensure you cover all topics.

    1. Yes, they are! These notes are tailored to match the CIE IGCSE notes, however, the two syllabi are very similar, so they can be used for Edexcel too.

    1. These notes cover the syllabus completely, and is suited for revision. But please do ensure you have read through the prescribed textbooks (that are Cambridge-approved) before you use these notes.

    1. Much of the content is the same, so yes. However they are not tailored to exactly fit the new syllabus. I am currently working notes that do fit the new one, though 🙂
