A good revision tip is to try and relate what you are revising to your life, with Economics this isn’t hard.

One of the most important aspects of Economics AS is definitions, on the exam there are a number of questions (usually 3 or 4) each for two marks. Often you can just quickly write an answer and move on to the ‘more important’ questions, the thing is that if your definition is sloppy then you may only get 1 mark per question. This could mean you missing out on 3-4 marks, not including the marks dropped for poor definitions within larger questions. Always try to give a good, concise definition and then a quick example either from your own knowledge or from the source - with this method you are covering yourself and are much more likely to get those vital extra marks which could make the difference between grades.

Another revision point to remember is that you need to practice your exam technique. You may have excellent knowledge but if you cannot get that knowledge down onto paper in the time frame or talk about the wrong things - you could be throwing a good grade away. Practice with past papers under timed conditions, ask your teacher for a mark scheme and see what the examiners are looking for.
