ah....right~
no wonder i never get high marks for my essays. i have NEVER planned my essays before even though the teacher keeps telling us that it is vital. now that even you guys say it's that important maybe i should try it in the hsc

im bored.... but i just got my new laptop ahahahcoroneos said:lol..
orite srsly economics is a bs subject.. they should triple the content to make it in line with the workload from other subjects.
There are no secrets to economics other than the fact that it is by far the easiest subject in the hsc
enjoy studying ...
economics is by no means, a bullshit subject. to succeed dude, you must show the real uptodate facts, and supported by well based examples. anything other than that, and ur ECONOMICS essay will be dragged down to nothing. In contrast to the king-of-bullshit subjects, ENglish - writing about texts, and quotes that dont actually exist, and in this case, bullcrapping abt the theories and figures behind the economics will NOT be beneficial..
now that said, i just realise i gotta finish my english essays due tomrow... arrrgh fk ... ive got a lot of bullshitting to do.... -_-;
arrgh yes! i may like to add that HISTORY, especially EXTENSION relies on the student to bullshit in as great a volume as possible (2ND biggest bullshit subject). typically they would be expected to churn out 1 page every 10 or 12 minutes in an exam.

Not sure if this has already been posted, but always back up theory with what's happening now. For example, if it asks for how an exchange rate can appreciate or depreciate, back it up with something like "The Australian dollar has recently appreciated against the US dollar due to...."

A few tips that helped me immeasurably:
1. Up to date statistics.
2. Well structured and planned ahead of time.
3. Syllabus info cohesive and synthesised.
4. DO NOT regurgitate the textbook. Markers can spot this from a mile away and will usually award low marks.

You've got to use it as the basis for your theory though. I think you'd have to include some ideas from the textbook and build upon them to develop your own argument.

Yes, but what I'm saying is dont just cough up the textbook the same way it is written. The idea is to use the info in the textbook as basis, then find some more indepth information on the syllabus points, then synthesise this information to produce a top band essay.
There's a big difference between what I just described and rote learning the textbook. Markers can easily separate the two.
