hi so i have an economics exam next week which is supposed to simulate the hsc (mc, short answer + essay). Any advice in general to dealing with the exam since its my first time doing such a structure esp. for unseen essay Q.

How long is your exam and what topic? I recommend smashing out the multiple choice section to have a more time for a solid essay. In terms of short answers, for 1-3 markers get straight to the point, you don’t have time and the space to waffle. I recommend planning a bit before responding to the unseen essay question. Basic structure -> causes -> implications (consider short-term and long-term). Not much else except to memorise essay plans.

First and second topics and its 2 hrs. I'm planning to scaffold the essay in the first 10 mins and then come back to the essay after finishing mc/short answer

Your study notes should focus on big concepts, broken down into:

• Globalisation
• Free trade
• Protection
• Differences
• BOP
• Exchange rates
• Trade agreements

Don't worry too much about the nitty gritty stuff. Then, find practice papers and give them a go. For the essay, make a skeleton/scaffold instead and keep that for revision.
