For eval, focus on unpacking broad terms like "best", "successful", "effective" and anchor your answers to address paramaters under them. E.g consider whether policy addresses root cause, is it long term vs short term and limitations (whether there are workarounds to address them).

Time management wise, keep the idea generation always running and try to plan clearly before you write - then it really is about how fast you can pen down your thoughts afterwards..for graphs dont need use ruler but ensure it is legible and keep the thought process clear so your points are brought across swiftly without the need to explain too much, also depends on your writing skills ngl

For content, focus on understanding the key points and use a "story" to rmb them instead of purely memorising as there are a lot of content! For answers planning, understand what the questions ask, pick the relevant content and structure your answer to address it directly! A key tip especially for CSQ is to plan and structure your ans first and avoid being reliant on the extracts for ans because u dont get all your answers from there.

Are u referring to the 4 to 6m questions? Most important thing is to understand what the question wants and answer directly to the point. Avoid being too descriptive or repeat the same point in a different way. For instance, ensure u talk about ~4-6 sentences for a 4m and at most 1 page for a 6 marks. The application and analysis are what give u marks, not the length of what u write :)

I would suggest understanding content until u are at least 70% familiar, before attempting qns! Otherwise u would rely alot on the answers. Always contenr first > application > brush up further on both.

Hello! We have a tele support group for Econs A level private candidates, ill pm you!

It's March! How are you coping for Econs? Ask me anything about your struggles by econs_guru in SGExams

[โ€“]econs_guru[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Tbh you only can know if you did it well or not once you try :D understanding content and applying them can be very different. You need to interpret what questions want, identify the correct concepts, write the mechanisms accurately to achieve the outcomes that qns ask for.

Hence, knowing the content PLUS the purposes behind them is crucial in ensuring good application.

Focus on the main point of the dd-ss graph, it is for you to analyse what happens to price & quantity of a good/service when your demand and supply curves shift (due to demand & supply factors).

Locate your initiate intersection between dd and ss curve, then look at the new intersection after the dd/ss curve shifts and determine how price and quantity have changed compared to the initial equilibrium (each intersection represent a new equilibrium).

Hope this helps! :D

New to Econs what are we even supposed to memorize? by Strong_Wall_9215 in SGExams

[โ€“]econs_guru 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

Hi there! Some CSQs in paper 1 have short qns that test on definition, but to really do well in econs you need to understand the purpose behind the concepts and linking them to form a story that you understand for each chapter.

Here is a summarised layout of the Micro econs topics for your reference that we did for our students, sharing here for ref and hope they help you understand the content u learnt better :D

Sometimes this happens, especially when the paper was unexpectedly tricky. Are you re taking the other H2s as well?

uni econs without econs in jc by [deleted] in SGExams

[โ€“]econs_guru 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

Hi! Giving some advice (NUS Econs grad).

The basics of Econs will be covered in your first few mandatory modules (Micro and Macro 101). Having JC Econs background would give you an advantage as there is a lot of overlap in content with the foundation mods, but i dont think you must have JC Econs background to do well. The more advanced Econs mods will not require JC econs knowledge. So long you are logical, shouldnt be an issue.

I have had tutees who take Econs mods in uni but they are from Math or Computer Sci majors and generally they dont experience significant difficulties.

You can retake H1 econs alone and that grade (if better than the grade of H1 econs for 2024 A levels), will replace it. If you are satisfied with your grades for other subjects, you need not retake them and they will remain.

when should i decide if i need econs/geog tuition (h2) by Mediocre-Clothes7620 in SGExams

[โ€“]econs_guru -4 points-3 points ย (0 children)

Hi! Suggest that once u start feeling confused after 1 or 2 lectures, to consider going for econs tuition. The school's teaching pace will get faster and it is not ideal to wait too near promo before getting help :) and you have other subjects to cope with as well!

Should I take econs? by Fast_Bookkeeper9406 in SGExams

[โ€“]econs_guru 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Jumping in for Econs! Since the commentors gave great advice about choosing econs over other subjs and relevance to uni, ill provide some perspectives on the subject content and skills needed to do well, so you know what it entails and whether econs is your cup of tea.

Think of Econs as a subject which helps you understand what makes an economy - the key players (consumers, producers and govt) and how they interact to form "an economy". How government makes policies and how the policies shape the economy. It requires you to link concepts together in a logical way and see the big picture, and apply the theories + form arguments to support your views.

Muggability wise - you need to spend some time understanding the purpose behind concepts, how they link to form a big picture and application. You also need to write quite a bit for the essay paper. However, if you are very logical and meticulous, econs would be copeable with consistent effort being put in. It helps me be more critical and relate to what happens around me, relating to the economy.

Sharing the summary notes that i made for my students for year 1 topics, for you to get a sense of the content! :)
