CIE考试局AS经济马上就要开考啦,或许,你们中的一些人已经开始考试了,不管是哪一种,现在都到了该学习的时刻了。A-Level经济考试既是考核学科知识,也是考察学生的考试能力,锦秋A-Level给大家介绍的就是exam-smart tips,帮助大家考试拿高分!
Tip 1-事件的影响
纵观整个经济大纲,经常会要求学生评估事件对某一事物的影响。在解决这样的问题的时候,可以参考这些分析范围:
Tip 2-集中精力于经济分析
写经济essay的时候,时间总是紧张的。那么知道内容比例的划分就尤为重要,解释content占多少,简洁的explanation占多少。有一个70/30的原则。举两个例子:
Theory of CA包含很有价值的经济分析,学生应该解释它的假想条件,比较机会成本比率,得出贸易可以获得什么。
Material SOL要求具体的经济分析,包括实际GCP与名义上的GDP数字、收入分配、按PPP计算的GDP。
Tip 3-合理性检查
非常有用,但也经常被忽视的一点。意思就是看一下自己的topic sentences,是否用最直接的方式回答了问题。有时候,我们有些段落可能是用来介绍背景信息但却没有直接回答问题。
举个例子
Explain why the price of fuel tends to be more volatile than other secondary products. (10m)
Topic Sentence (Version 1): The PED of fuel is affected by a number of factors, including its degree of necessity. Supply of fuel is also affected by a number of different factors.
Topic Sentence (Version 2): Demand for fuel is price-inelastic due to its nature as a necessity. Supply may also fluctuate given unstable conditions in theMiddle East, a major oil producing region. An unstable supply curve coupled with an inelastic demand curve would lead to wide and frequent fluctuations in price.
Tip 4-记住内容
学习内容很多的概念时(比如说弹性概念、规模经济、进入壁垒),可以参照一个DDEE的原则保证答案的完整性。
Definitions
Diagrams
Explanation
Examples
这样学习概念更方便记忆,因为之前大家的知识是分段的。比方说遇到“Differentiate between internal and external economies of scale (10m)”这样的问题,根据DDEE原则就能立马想出essay结构:
Definition: Internal EOS are reaped due to growth of the firm while external EOS are independent of firm size and are attributed to growth of the industry.
Diagram: Internal EOS is seen diagrammatically as a movement downwards along the long run average cost curve (LRAC) while external EOS manifests as a downward shift of the entire LRAC.
Explanation / Examples: Sources of internal EOS include technical, marketing, financial or managerial economies. On the other hand, external EOS takes the form of economies of information, concentration or disintegration.
