Key Assessment Notes

  • Economics rewards logical chains of reasoning, so tutoring often focuses on linking each point clearly to the next.
  • Students who know diagrams but cannot explain them fully often underperform relative to their knowledge.
  • Balanced evaluation is usually the difference between strong and top-band answers.
