Identify the types of examination questions

Across the academic spectrum, Economics differs greatly in terms of examination requirements. For A Level H2 Economics, the examination can be categorised into Case Studies and Essay Questions, where both components hold equal weight of importance. In contrast, H1 Economics students are only required to answer the CSQ component. Such stark difference shows the difference in level of focus required for H1 and H2 students. H1 students have greater focus on data and trend analysis as well as source evaluation, while H2 students highlight on essay writing skills. For O Level Economics, there are multiple choice, data response and structured questions which indicates a more basic concept understanding from the students.

Arrange the questions by topics

After you have identified the different types of questions, you should sort the questions by separate chapters to facilitate productive revision. For example, you can start your Microeconomics revision by practising essay questions relating to the Theory of Demand and Supply. By focusing on the essay questions that test independent chapters, the process will strengthen your understanding of the economic concepts tested.

Attempt practice questions within a fixed timeframe

Timed class practices are important as you can build up time management skills, which are crucial for the examination. Timed practices will help you to work within the constraints and overcome the stressful examination conditions. You will learn to organise your thoughts and points before writing the answers in full. Through consistent practice, you will develop the ability to think and write fast. As such, our class practices are exam-friendly as you will develop the speed to tackle questions.

Explore complex and challenging questions to stretch your thinking and analytical skills

In addition to the basic practice questions, you should allocate your revision time for difficult questions. These questions are likely to be tested at the examinations and require thorough preparation. This implies that it can be a difficult process of finding the solutions during the examination, thus you should start by practising questions in your free time. Also, attempting more complex questions will build up your familiarity and answering skills.
