I got a C in Economics, so I wanted to re-site knowing that C aint my grade. So shall i re-sit now or no?
Also I got a C in Accounting, I know I can get better but I somehow dont like accounting. I am not confused about accounting coz I know I will resit it next year. But econ, i am soo good in econ when it comes to class tests, but I hope AS+A2 Econ wont be such a pressure.. Help
I am asking help from experienced people. You all (most) are students and have come across this situation, so help please? :)

The scaling in A2 is quite high, so in the end it all depends how high you're aiming for at the end of the year. If you're aiming for C's and B's for your overall A level score, you most likely won't need to resit if you do well ish in A2. Cambridge costs are really expensive, so less resits = more money.

But if you're intending to resit anyway, A2 Economics covers alot of AS concepts again, so resitting it won't be as stressful as you think, especially since it sounds like you already know your stuff. I'd recommend resitting it as late as possible though, just so you have more time to just go over the syllabus again, and that will benefit your A2 as well while you're revising AS, since alot of A2 concepts are based around AS as a foundation.

Well, later you have a chance to aim for an A* because your AS concepts would be clear and all. So it's better to go for accelerated. :)
