Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen.
..So how's things?
I'll give you 5 ways to do well in an Economics exam. This is according to me so I'm not sure if that'll work for you.
1.Economic data.
As you progress throughout the year, it'll be more and more important to stay up to date with economic data such as the inflation rate and other stuff and why it is that way. For example, high inflation lately was due to high fuel costs, high banana prices and high consumer demand due to strong economic growth. You can look them up on news sites Note that economic growth does strongly influence inflation, unemployment and inflation and other economic indicators.
2. Essay Practice.
Practice your essay writing. Learn to gather, plan and write the info. down. Invest in that 40% of the trial/HSC exam that everybody hates.
3. Answer questions correctly
Seen the glossary?http://hsc.csu.edu.au/economics/glossary/2292/keywords.html
-Take note of the number of marks they are worth and I suggest you should use Leading Edge Workbooks with answers on the net. You should continuously see this as a revision tool. Note the words "explain" and "analyse". This means you need to show the RELATIONSHIP between the various main features.
4. Know cause and effect of everything (with its features)
Cause and effect of....globalisation...protection...unemployment....CAD.....
5....see things from a different perspective
There's good and bad to every protectionist policy, economic growth, globalisation, CAD etc. You need to make judgement in your essays.
Need more help?
I'm planning, over the next week or so, to provide free online Economics tutoring. I understand that it is a very stressing time as such as it is the start of the HSC year.
If interested then, PM me.
Here, I can:
-answer most of your queries on the syllabus, answering questions, writing essays and the content.
-motivate you and build self-confidence.
-recommend you certain sites and books which'll help you understand the content and aid you in getting higher marks.
-provide some help on other subjects such as Maths and English, though I'm quite rusty on those.
-also set you "homework" whereby I will "boss" you around into learning the content. Each day/ second day/week, I'll throw questions at you to answer. If you don't feel like learning, I'LL MAKE YOU!
I'll keep you informed of anything that changes.
