- Generate your answers based on theory, then make reference to case study materials (when practicing)
- Start from the back because they make up almost half/more than half of your marks.
- Understand/memorize standard answers then adjust according to the context, you don't have time to slowly craft a response. Always draw diagrams! Practice drawing them.
Essays:
- Don't spend so much time on intro, delve more into your body paragraphs. Put in definitions of concepts in your intro.
- Write at least 3 points, 2 detailed, 1 not so detailed because you don't have time.
- Practice drawing diagrams. You can condense your diagrams if needed.
- You can make reference to diagrams you have drawn in part (a) in part(b) but you cannot make reference to diagrams in another question.
- Make sure you know how to modify the 'standard response' according to what the question wants, come up with 'detailed' and 'condensed' versions of your answer.
- In microecons, do questions related to market structure and market failure because they have a clear essay structure.
Evaluations:
- Know your standard evaluations and elaborate in context.
- They don't have to be in the conclusion only, evaluate your answers in the body paragraph as well. State assumptions when illustrating a mechanism/theory.
Examples:
- Don't just state examples, explain them and link them to the point/explanations you are making
- Examples should have relevant details.
- Use standard examples (eg healthcare, public lighting), but you must be able to explain them well.
