Which textbook and study method(s)? (1 Viewer)

[FD3S-R]

starting yr 12, my teacher emphasises textbook only provides the basic theory and yr 12 is more about using current economic data, and how we are meant to collect articles every month

is this true??? also imo with prelim leading edge book is so much better than tim riley , tim riley sometimes really hard to comprehend.

By reading this thread makes me feel like I'm going to fail eco yr 12. Because we have the bludgiest teacher that never gives out anything execpt the text book. And we didn't even finish the yr 11 syllabus, onli got pass half way a little. Got any suggestions how i can study for yr 12 under these circumstances?

and about those Ross Gittins articles, how do u remembers those to put it in the exam essays? i can hardly remember what the article is about after 1 day.

yeh the textbooks are just theory coz they get pretty outdated statistic wise
...u need to find out the unemployment rates, stances of policies etc. before u sit down and do exams coz it shows that ur applying ur knowledge to the current economic state
u can find them on the ABS website
but u dont have to ramble on about them..just mention and integrate them into ur response

and the textbooks u mentioned...we never learnt from them... we used tim dixon 'australia and the global economy' and the Bulmer and Chapmen series

textbooks are overly verbose, if you're serious about eco (with money to spare) go to leading edge tutoring unless your teacher can give you good summarised notes (like mine)

study methods? i just study the night before the exam, but whatever works for you

jeez...the leading edge tutorials cost too much, for me anyway. Oh btw the Economics Update which is produced monthly is really helpful.

im hoping for a band 6 in the hsc ... and for me the best way of studying is juist doin essys and understanding how everything works.... the most important thing is to be able to relate things to each other ...

eg increse Interest rates ----> increase capital inflow -----> increases in AUD from the increase in demand ----> easier to pay of foreign debt etc...
