Notes :
The new syllabus has emphasized on Singapore
Economy. Hence, students are required to have a good understanding
of the important economic issues and policies that are
affecting Singapore
both locally and internationally.
The new examination format requires students to
have the ability to understand and interpret economic information
presented in textual, numerical or graphical form.
It also requires students to select and apply
economic concepts and principles to explain and analyse recent
events at both the micro and macro levels.
Hence, it is important to master the skill of
analysis rather than merely memorizing the facts.
