need advice for economics trial on tuesday... (1 Viewer)

[Morgan1234pooki]

ok i have my economics trial exam on tuesday and every time i have an economics exam i know all of the content but i manage to screw it up.

my worst section is always multiple choice, which is so annoying!

how do you do multiple choice properly and how do you succeed in an economics exam! i need to pull my course mark up

Buy the leading edge workbook, They have multiple choice questions for every chapter. So you'll have 20 questions per chapter (HSC Style questions of course) and try some of the past HSC papers from 2004-2010.

I manage to get around 17/20 easily that way .

for multiple choice, cross out ones that you are confident are wrong and if you cant answer it leave it and go back to it later, so then you can spend more time on an extended response question rather than wasting your time on a one mark mc question.

The way I do it is, look at the question and try and think of the answer yourself before looking at the options. Or at least try and get a gist of what the answer should be or what the question is talking about before starting to cross out the wrong answers.

Do the hsc online multiple choice

In multiple choice, one answer should be wrong- Cross it out.

Then consider the rest and cross out two which are wrong.

Practise online, or through textbooks

I highlight the key points in the multiple choice if the question itself doesn't come obvious to you immediately. As the person above me said there is usually one or two that are completely wrong or irrelevant so you can get rid of them. Then you look at the others and see which one is the most sensible / "closest" answer. Also sometimes I come across questions where the answer isn't really obvious but there are 3 wrong answers so you just work backwards to get there. Also remember don't overthink if you think an answer is right since some multiple choice questions can be dead set easy so don't be like "mmm trick question".
