What Should A Student Do In The Final Lap Of Preparing For The Economics Examination?
We are less than 100 days to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE ‘A’ Level Economics examination. By this time, most students who have signed up for the examination should be gearing up for it. Some may start looking from a good economics tutor who has a good track record of providing economics tuition while others may start reading the lecture notes which have been handed out by the school. As an economics tutor who specializes in ‘A’ level economics tuition, one common question which is posed to me around this time of the year is, what should a student do in the final lap of preparing for the economics examination?
Economics Past-year Examination Papers
In the final lap of preparing for the economics examination, a student should look through the economics past-year examination papers for at least over the last 10 years. Looking through the economics past-year examination papers helps familiarize the student with the questions. This enables them to find out the style and the level of difficulty of the questions. In addition, it enables the student to predict questions. This is not to say that one should solely focus on the questions that they predict will come out in the examination. Rather, it means that they should prepare model answers for the questions with the help of their economics tutor in economics tuition or with reference to good materials such as JC Economics Model Essays and Economics (A Singapore Perspective). It is important that the student not only look through the economics past-year examination papers, but ensures that they are able to answer the questions. This can be done with the help of their economics tutor.
Economics Tuition
In the final lap of preparing for the economics examination, a student should look for economics tuition either on an individual basis or a group basis. It is important to note that the student should get an economics tutor with a proven track record such as Mr. Edmund Quek at Economics Cafe Learning Centre. As stated earlier, with the help of a good economics tutor, the student can familiarize themself with the economics past-year examination questions. In addition, the economics tutor can help the student prepare model answers to the questions that they predict will come out in the examination. When a student is in the final lap of preparing for the economics examination, they are likely to encounter more problems than they normally do. Therefore, with the help of a good economics tutor, they are able to clarify their doubts. This will enhance their understanding of the key concepts which they need to master in order to do well in the examination.
Economics Model Essays
In the final lap of preparing for the economics examination, a student should look for good economics models. Reading good economics model essays enables the student to learn how to apply the economic concepts that they have learnt to answer economics examination questions. In addition, it will allow them to learn how to better structure their answers to economics examination questions. Although there are several economics model essays books in the market, the one that is by far the best and most highly recommended is ‘JC Economics Model Essays’ written by the Principal Economics Tutor at Economics Cafe Learning Centre which is a renowned economics tuition centre in Singapore specializing in ‘A’ level economic tuition. However, it is important that the student does not simply engage in role learning. Rather, they should understand the economics model essays are written in the way that they are. This will enable them to better understand the economics model essays.
