Thanks Sam, it helped me and i am noticing the change💓

What ratio would you say you use the economics library vs college library vs your room for work?

[@SamHillman]

Last term it was probably 90% room, 5% college library, 5% economics library. But for this term I want to spend more time in the libraries.

Hey Sam, I have 16 A*/As in my IGCSE and I'm aiming for 4 A*s in Maths , Further Maths, Econ and Business in A levels. What advice would you give me to be accepted in Cambridge for Economics?

[@chatwixx9899]

hey Sam I am taking Further maths , Maths , Economics and History is that good combination for degrees such as Maths and Eco , PPE or eco and management in unis like Oxford and LSE btw I would love any suggestions or tips you have

[@SamHillman]

My biggest bit of advice would be to focus on super-curriculars. Whether this be reading around the subject, going to public lectures, taking online courses, etc. It helps set you apart and demonstrates your passion for the subject.

[@rhea5241]

Hi Sam is it possible for you to show your paper 2 aqa economics answer as I have macro on Monday and the first one was very useful

[@ilb9387]

Would you recommend a laptop or Ipad for economics at Cambridge? I have an iPad atm but am wondering if it’s worth upgrading to a MacBook.

[@SamHillman]

I personally have never had either, but I would probably recommend an iPad. iPads are really convenient for taking lecture notes and supervisions.

[@freddien2886]

hi sam, quick question. do you make a plan before you begin a 25 marker? or do you think about it briefly and answer the question asap

[@SamHillman]

depends on the question. If I am comfortable with the topic then I probably won't do a formal plan. However, if it's a topic I'm less comfortable with I may do one, just to organise my thoughts

[@KeepingUpWithKpy]

I've been watching your videos for about a month they are super helpful and I am so proud of your achievements. But I had a question that keeps bugging me, so if you answer a essay question but your answer is different / not on the mark scheme can you still get full marks?

[@SamHillman]

I can only really speak for Economics essays, and the answer is sort of yes and no. Chances are there will be big topics which they expect you to mention, and if you don't then your marks may be capped. However, you can still get full marks if not all your points match up with what's on the mark scheme.
