actually I remember macro econs as being easierbecause the essay can just anyhow write micro econs is very very technical

so most of you guys encountered the same problem. guess i'll heed the advices and hang in there for a bit. those encouragements are seriously making me feel much more better!

omg eagle, what an improvement! i am definitely confident that i will be able to follow in your footsteps, lol at least i'll try :l

i wish i was like you SBS261p, i think the teacher plays a very significant role in our absorption of the contents. if they made it fun and engaging, it certainly would make the entire lessons less of a chore and bore. so lucky to have a teacher like yours!!

yeah man wishboy, im taking h2, will really c onsider dropping to h1 if the results are still bad at the end of the day, kinda no point stressing myself out everyday also right?? but of course, im gonna have frequent study groups with my mates to try to improve on it before dropping...

hiaYcaptain- what zai?

Ronnie Null SG

and yeah, i am also thinking of taking extra lessons in econs, any suggestions out there?

Mr.ms.chairperson SG

Well you can see the trend regardless. All those who got A for econs study like crazy dogs to get it. As did i. Never did love econs, probably never will. But shows A is not entirely impossible. You just need to work hard and get work your own way out of studying econs. Following the schools standard studying method is not neccessarily the best way for you. Definitely didn't work for me. That's why you see me missing during econs lecture. =)

Regardless find your own way of studying that works best for you. =)

yo! i didnt do well for my h2 econs for all my exams. i got an U for my mid years and an S (after moderation) for my prelims in J2. However, i didn't give up on my Econs still (despite the lousy grades) and went ahead for consultation with my tutor (it's REALLY HELPFUL!) and i scored an A for my Econs A levels.

Trust me, go for consultation. Do an essay a week (or one essay every two weeks if u are lazy like me) and let your tutor go through with u in a small group. it was very helpful to me. Try taking down notes about how to attack an essay question as well.

Always remember to score the two evaluation marks for each essay (part B or the 25m essay qn). then, always manipulate your answers until it sounds like a L3 answer (read the answer scheme and u'd know what i am talking about) and u'd get high marks for your essay. (lol)

for case studies...well..cant say much. i always suck at case studies.

=) my 2 cent worth. hope it's useful to u

SBS261P SG

case studies just answer to the point can le. no need long answer.

e.g. ask for trend then just give "it dropped from 2005 to 2008, and increased thereafter" can get you 1 mark.

dunnid to explain "it dropped from 50% to 44% from 2005 to 2006, followed by a short period of increase from 44% to 45% from 2006 to 2007, then dropped again from 45% to 30% from 2007 to 2008, and increased from 30% to 50% from 2008 to 2009."

It's a trend, not an analysis.

seems like almost everyone of you guys got off to a bad start with economics! hahaha i need to pull up my socks man:(

miracle, where did you go for consultation?, i was thinking of going for quite a long time already, but i have no idea which ones are reliable.. and yeah, it certainly is helpful to me!

Ronnie Null SG

so guys, any idea where should i go for consultation? for a reasonable price.. thanks in advance! :)
