O/levels Economics: past papers or book? Which is important?

[fizzanrb]

AoA, i wanted to ask something. I'll be appearing for o/levels economics this m/j.
My problem is that i havent actually started off with economics, i gave most of my time to mathematics, and now i am confused. Should i study and learn from the eco book or should i just go thoroughly through past papers and marking schemes?
Will studying from the past papers and marking schemes be enough?
Really Looking forward to your advise..

You need to study through the book and then do the pastpapers. Mark schemes were made to be checked with answers, not to be used as answers although they are used as such. Anyways, you cannot harvest the knowledge of the whole syllabus by just studying mark schemes. Therefore, gain crystal-clear concepts and knowledge ,and then do pastpapers. Leave practicing Maths a bit.

I would advise you to do double the papers 1 as, if you have crystal-clear concepts and good knowledge, you can pass paper 2 with good marks still.

By knowledge, i mean memorized material. You do need to memorize well in Economics.
