Revise with understanding

Start by reading the topic definitions, then make a short outline of the chapter under clear headings. Explain each point in your own words. Keep causes, effects and policy measures separate so your answer directly addresses the question asked.

After studying, try the chapter practice without looking at your notes. Review any incomplete answer, identify the missing concept and return to that section. Use the Economics hub to move to a related chapter when the same idea appears again.
