1. Content mastery

‍Needless to say, building and strengthening the foundation is the most crucial step. Of course, definitions such as price elasticity of demand, inflation need to be memorized. But the majority of content require understanding rather than pure memorization for its mastery. If you struggle to understand concepts, try crafting mind maps and create summaries to help you. 💥 At Indigo Economics tuition, we offer solutions to you by providing digestible, bite-sized summary notes.

2. Skills

Data response and short structured questions of a case study require concise answers. The key to success is precision and clarity in explaining cause-effect relationships among economic variables. On the other hand, the higher order thinking (HOT) questions of a case study require a more detailed economic analysis, supported by case evidence.
‍
Essay writing requires students to dissect the question accurately to identify the issue and organize the essay in a coherent/structured manner. Once you scope the essay, what matters is then to develop rigorous answer through step by step explanation, good use of framework and diagrams and application to the context. The issue should be addressed in the conclusion paragraph. This involves weighing of different perspectives and formulating a judgement supported by yardsticks relevant to the context. Such exam skills can be developed and polished. 💥At Indigo Economics Tuition, you have ample practices to hone your exam skills in our regular weekly tuition.

3. Knowledge of real world events

A-level Economics is application-based. To do well, you must get exposed to a variety of contexts such as different markets and different economies. For a start, read the news (e.g. Straits Times, The Economist) and identify the pertinent issues through the lens of an economist. Check if you are able to translate layman terms into relevant economic analysis. Once this becomes a habit, you’ll be more confident in handling source-based case study questions and in formulating insightful evaluation in your answers. 💥At Indigo Economics Tuition, we provide you with summaries of world events and hone your skill through annotation of case extracts.

4. Time-based assessments

This is when your exam answering skills are sharpened under time constraints! 💥At Indigo Economics Tuition, our assessment modules are carefully designed with various levels of difficulty to meet your needs. Through practice and exposure to different question types, you will become more confident for the A-level Economics examinations.
