My exams are fast approaching, I would like to ask this; how do I get an A* in economics and how do I improve my exam structure/essays? I do know doing exam questions is key, but are there any other tips ?thank you again sir, I will be sure to purchase your revision guide.

    • Yasmin, Glad site is helpful. There is no shortcut or quick tip for getting A*. It requires an all-round approach. Understand basics, read around subject. Understand and practice how to evaluate questions. Learn how to apply economic news into essays. As you say practice questions very helpful. ~ Tejvan

  4. I have seen the work to increase the tax rate and work to reduce the interest rate and the increase in salaries is economic and escape the economic contraction of the economy,
    Therefore, the distribution of taxes on the services of the state and the quality of health and so it is the reason for the revival of growth and development, especially education,
    Increase salaries in order to stimulate consumption and reduce interest rates
    Citizens resorted to borrowing from banks and thus long live the state,
    The economy is growing.
