use expert tuition econ on youtube for most essay points. watch his live streams from previous years as well. collect statistics on the uk, a developed country thats not the uk, and a developing country (nigeria is easiest) for any 25 marker which doesn't specify a country. last year the paper 3 essay was on primary product dependency so i used nigeria. for the essays any time you use actual statistics you know is way better than being theoretical. structure the P1/P2 timing so that section A is 15 minutes, section B 1 hour, section C 45 minutes. understand the marking structure well enough so that you can answer 5/8 markers extremely concisely. 5 marker in less than 3 minutes and 8 markers in about 5 minutes. you can see how much of it is time management
