1. Read the Question Carefully
- Highlight the key terms and determine what the question is asking.
- Understand if it's calculation-based, diagram-based, or explanation-based.
2. Start Each Subpart Clearly
- Label each answer with the question part, e.g., (a), (b), (c).
- Answer each subpart in order.
3. Structure for Calculation Questions
- State the Formula: Clearly write the formula you're using.E.g., Total Revenue = Price × Quantity.
- Substitute the Values: Show the values substituted into the formula.E.g., TR = $10 × 50.
- Calculate the Answer: Perform the calculation step-by-step to avoid errors.
- Final Answer with Units: Write your final answer clearly, including the correct units.E.g., Total Revenue = $500.
4. Structure for Diagram Questions
- Draw an Accurate Diagram:
- Use a ruler for neat lines.
- Label axes, curves, and equilibrium points clearly.
- Include any necessary shifts or annotations.
- Explain the Diagram:
- Describe what the diagram shows.
- Link it to the question (e.g., explain shifts, equilibrium changes, or efficiency effects).
5. Structure for Explanation Questions
- Define Key Terms: Start by defining any economic terms mentioned in the question.
