05—Tips

Economics Exam Tips from Top Scorers

Use PEEL in every paragraph

State your point, explain theory, apply to context, and link to the question with a mini-judgement to keep answers analytical and focused.

Always reference the extract in Paper 2

Quote data directly from tables or charts and connect it to economic theory. Generic explanations without extract evidence lose marks.

Show full calculation steps in Paper 3

Write formulas, substitute values, and include units. IB awards method marks, so complete workings protect your score.

Evaluate with clear conditions

For 10- and 15-mark tasks, compare short-run versus long-run outcomes and different stakeholder impacts before concluding.
