how to study for p32

 

[CVB15]

I would suggest doing as many papers as you can and comparing your results with those in the thresholds. For improvement, pin- point any weaknesses in your answers and revising those topics (not practical to study the whole course again...) There are specific topics from the syllabus which come in the paper 32- do those thoroughly. Have a look at what kind of answers cie expects from you in the mark schemes.

Please what topics normallz come in paper 32

 

[CVB15]

• Economic indicators
• Developed and developing economies
• International aspects
• Demand and supply (diagrams)

there might be some basics from the other chapters e.g

• market systems
• types of business organisations ... mainly these topics, in my opinion.

You must understand that since it is a case study, you will be required to base your answers on what you have read from a given extract- some of the questions may be like "which country had the highest rise in GDP?" or "why is gold of great value to Ghana?" which need you to identify valid reasons from what you have read. Good luck, and make sure you remain optimistic about this

umm yeah so actually i am pretty messed up because i am not very sure how to start preparing for paper 3 economics. having a 12 day gap was surely more than enough to prepare for it well and i actually went through the book in depth but i still don't know what all is important. plus now with just 4-5 days left i want to focus on solving the past year papers and stuff but i still don't know what to revise like noww ! and what should be my primary agenda . so just wanted to confirm what should be my pattern to study for paper 3 because i so wanna nail this paper and score full marks

 

[CVB15]

There's no point in going through the whole course again, so the main thing we should do is papers, papers, and more papers. While doing the papers, time yourself- very important for the exam- and try to pick out where you're losing marks. Work on these things

Even though the paper 12 is after a while, i was just curious about how you guys are preparing for it? By the way, has anyone got any links to economics (0455) multiple choice papers before 2000?
