You need to be sure that you are well informed of some of the key economic issues of the time.

Currently now there are the issues of the bankers’ pay and whether the gov have done enough to avert another crisis.

There are also micro issues such as the kraft/ cadbury merger and the takeover of Opel and whether it breaks EU law.

You should also have some idea of the significance of maths for economists.

Moreover, you ought to be able to talk about something in Economics that has interested you, particularly beyond the A level curriculm.
