Important Notes: 1. The format of the papers and scope tested may vary from year to year, so focus on those relevant to your cohort as you prepare for your promotional examination. 2. The H2 Economics syllabus has changed since 2022 (it is now 9570, vs 9757 before 2022) . Differences in the content have been marked out where applicable, but take note that there is some change to the duration of the examinations too. As a guide, you should be spending 1h 15 min on a 30 marks CSQ, and 50 min on a 25 marks essay. There is also some change to the mark allocation for evaluation in essays. It is now E1 (1 to 2 marks), E2 (3 to 4 marks) and E3 (5 marks). 3. The markers’ comments contain very useful information, as they highlight the common mistakes that students made, both in terms of content as well as understanding of question requirements. Read them! 4. This set of materials should be used in conjunction with your notes, tutorial worksheets and Book 0 ‘Economics Learning Guide’ as you revise. 5. Try the questions in this revision package. You may not have sufficient time to write out full responses for every question – for some of them, you can write brief essay outlines with sketches of relevant diagrams. Then, check them against the suggested responses to see: - Have you answered to the question requirements? - Is your response structured in a logical and organised manner? - Have you given rigorous and developed economic explanations? - Have you applied your answer to the given context, or used examples to illustrate? *** Learning takes place through active processing, not simply passive reading *** Skills to take note of (refer to Guide to Economics for more information) Question Dissection Writing Paragraphs Evaluation Command word Content (concepts required) Context given Have I established the two requirements of each question part?
