Lol.

At the very least, you should prep for 4 essays.

But, don't stress. Here's a few principles when approaching eco essays:

• A 'theory' essay almost always trumps a 'stats' essay;
• Learn your main graphs and where you could apply them;
• Look to RBA snapshots for the main stats;
• Make essay skeletons, don't memorise whole essays.

Hope this helps.

wdym by a theory and stats essay? also what do you mean by a skelton essay should it be like a normal essay I warp to the question asked or something else?

 

[mmmmmmmmaaaaaaa]

essay skeleton means your thesis, topic sentence, etc... the important parts

If you think about it stats are only useful when applied in relation to the theory behind it. Hence ideas such as supply and demand are much more valuable in an economic essay in comparison to just listing the statistics of an economy’s dependency on goods and services.

But in saying that I still use stats right or just all theory?

I like to see stats as a form of evidence that backs up your claims + your logic/reasoning when using theory so just simply stating the theory wouldn't really suffice, I've never seen an economics essay without stats ever so its important they are present. I think the point Life is trying to make is that simply dropping stats for the sake of it would not contribute to your essay unless it is applied to the theory you talk about (e.g Lorenz Curve/GINI coefficient + stats around nation's GINI coefficient etc...)

Haha, don't completely nuke your essay of stats...

Practise writing a great theory response, and get confident at that. Then, see where you can include a few stats.

get a real and I mean real good understanding of the concepts, cram as many stats as you can into ur head, practice applying those two things to trial + hsc essay questions in timed conditions, and do that consistently from now till trials and hsc. give it to ur teacher or someone good at eco to mark, get feedback and try constantly implement it
