How to practise this subject

These practice suggestions are editorial guidance from Australian Study Resources.

  1. Choose a current course task with this focus: globalisation — trade in goods/services, financial flows, investment and transnational corporations, technology, transport and communication, international division of labour and migration; effects on growth, quality of life, unemployment, inflation, external stability and the environment. Define the economic concept and identify the relevant measure or variable. Use the scenario’s data to establish the starting conditions.
  2. Choose a current course task with this focus: australia's trade and financial flows — composition, direction and value of trade over time. Draw and label the relevant economic model where appropriate. Explain the chain from the change to its effect on households, firms or the wider economy.
  3. Choose a current course task with this focus: economic growth — measurement (real GDP), the multiplier, aggregate demand/supply, sources and effects of growth, the business cycle. Evaluate a policy using an explicit economic criterion. Explain a benefit, a limitation and the conditions affecting your judgement.
  4. Record the specific point you missed, write a corrected response, and attempt another question that requires the same skill. Check older material against your current course before reusing it.

Plan your next practice session
