Applying Economics Content Learnt In School:
Techniques to Tackle Exam Questions
Essay Techniques for Papers 1, 2 and 3
Essays are tested in Papers 1, 2 and 3 (HL only) in the IB Economics Paper. Students will learn how to analyse various essay types to recognise commonly tested topics and answering patterns. We teach a structured process to dissect questions, identify marking requirements and craft answers with the right points, keywords, phrases and diagrams.
Students will have the opportunity to hone their answering techniques through a variety of exercises and comprehensive companion notes crafted by us.
Our students consistently achieve significant grade improvements as a result of their ability to effectively tackle a wide range of question types.
Data Response & Calculations
Data response and calculation questions are tested in Papers 2 and 3 (HL only). These questions demand high levels of content application and poses a huge challenge for many students as they are required to answer questions in context.
In class, we help students navigate the paper by providing them an easily replicable strategy to confidently tackle all question types; from simple graph and calculation questions, to complex evaluation questions. Our companion guides teach students how to strategise and approach a wide range of case materials and data sources.
IB Economics Classes
Lessons are tailored to address specific student needs. There would typically be a mix of content teaching as well as practising exam questions - the pace would be dependent on the child's proficiency. Lessons would shift more heavily towards exam practices in the build up to tests and exams.
We also provide support for the three internal assessments (IA) that students have to complete over the two years. This includes the sourcing of articles, brainstorming of the IA structure as well as revising the IA drafts towards completion. Should students choose to do their extended essays (EE) on Economics, we would also provide support to complete the EE.
