Studying for HSC Economics (1 Viewer)

[noddy]

The days Ross Gittins writes in the smh is usually saturdays in the business and money section and mondays in the business section usually a page into the section

Ross Gittins' articles are also useful to provide quotes to support arguments made in your essays. Teachers like to see that students can gain an understanding of a Proffessional's ideas whilst being able to relate these to their own work.

advice line?

what is this advice line that you speak of?

yeah advice line IS good...but i had a good eco teacher so I didn't have to ring the advice line for eco. I called for maths....and I got my teacher. Which I didn't mind...hahaha.

yeah, I think to study for eco it really isn't enough to read the textbook. You actually got to thin about it logically and link all the topics together to get a full big picture of things. Like, I related all the economic policies in topic 4 to all the eco issues in topic 3 and I also related globalisation and stuff to this......and everything just relates to everything. It's so interesting!!! I love eco...hahaha.

And one tip for eco essays...chuck in a few good stats here and there...and use theories and laws to explain what you're trying to say (eg twins deficit argument, phillips curve etc). Just know twhat they're about and know how to apply them in your essay...you don't need to explain it all in detail. The marker knows what the theory is about......

yeah I just did lots of practice short answers and essays and got my teacher to mark them before HSC...i guess it worked well.

hmmm some more tips for studying for eco....as it was said before by others...learn some stats and recent trends for the exams. Markers like that....eg chuck in a few stats about current eco growth etc....and relate current events to your policies and stuff. eg current monetary and fiscal policy stance if you're talking about those.

and remmeber to follow the syllabus VERY CLOSELY....mm...try to read between the lines with essay questions. Like if they ask stuff about protectionist policies, then you MUST mention globalisation etc, even if the questions doesn't specifiy that you should refer to globalisation....and i guess really do lots of practice and get your teacher to mark them. I found that really helpful...and my teacher was really nice to me so it all worked out well

 

[kochou]

i could do that...

if i spent ALL my time on eco and not work for any other subjects -__-

this is scaring me - practise essays take really long

when you actually get the hang of them they're not so bad....you should only try to do them when you've actually learnt your work..
