This post will show you how to do well in high school or WAEC Economics. Even though the post is meant for students studying for their last external Economics exam, it will also help students in junior classes.

Are you an Economics teacher looking for more ways to help your students learn better and get better grades on their Economics tests? I think you will find something here that will help you.

Every point in this post is important if you want to do well in high school Economics. I strongly suggest that you take your time and read everything carefully so that you can get the most out of it.

Okay, let’s start by answering this question. I saw it somewhere on Google, and I’d like to find out for sure.

So let’s face it. Can you get a passing grade in high school Economics if you don’t study? Seriously? It’s possible.

Yes, you can pass Economics even if you don’t study. I mean not studying French, Biology, or Literature.

But, if we’re being honest, you can’t really pass Economics without studying Economics! The story’s over.

Now, let’s talk about why you and I are both here. We want to get a good grades in high school Economics, so we should study Economics strategically, right?

So, if we both agree on this, we have a place to start when we talk about the best ways to do well in Economics.

With the tips and tricks I’m about to give you, there will be nothing you can’t do to do well on that WAEC/WASSCE Economics test.

If you are a very serious student, you can even get an A in Economics if you follow these tips.

This is still true for people who are about to take other high school exams, like IGSCE, NECO/SSCE, JAMB, and so on.

Why should I tell you how to do well in high school economics?

Well, I went all the way up to the GCE “A” Level in Economics. And I did quite well. Ask anyone who has taken GCE “A” Level Economics in the past.

This person should also know what the WAEC/SHS Economics syllabus is all about. I’m sure they’ll tell you that I can show you how to get an A1 or a credit pass in Senior High School Economics.

Again, I’ve had the chance to help thousands of senior high school students and WAEC/WASSCE Nov/Dec candidates do well in Economics.

Some of these students had switched from their original SHS courses and were learning about Economics for the first time. In many cases, we were able to give them what they wanted after only six months of study.

Also, I’m proud to say that we did it without cheating on exams or doing anything else illegal that you probably know about.

It just took a lot of hard work, dedication, and focus, along with honesty and a plan.

Things to watch out for and remember

Please remember these important things if you want to do well in high school or WAEC Economics. Most students don’t get the right facts about these myths and ideas about studying Economics.

It is a big reason why they can’t study well enough for the Economics paper. So, when the results are finally out, they are usually not happy with them.

We don’t want you to go through the same thing, do we?

You can’t pass a class you don’t like.

If you don’t like Economics, it won’t be easy for you to get a good grade on a test or assignment. The simple answer is that we tend to ignore and put off studying things we don’t like. We won’t even go to Economics class.

So you can’t do well in Economics if you don’t like it. This brings us to the next thing to remember.

It’s hard to do well in economics if you don’t like your teacher.

Either you can learn to like your high school Economics tutor, or you can find a different teacher with whom you feel more comfortable.

I’m not saying that you should be too friendly with your high school Economics teacher if you want to do well in the class. At the very least, all you need to do in class is keep an open mind.

Even if you don’t like the teacher, you can still listen and pay attention in their class.

Not trusting or respecting people won’t help you.

Students who openly don’t trust their teachers or treat them badly always have trouble in class. Even if your Economics teacher misspelled a word or made a big mistake during a lesson, that doesn’t mean you “know” more than them.

This is important. Your high school teacher is qualified to teach you about economics. Because of this, you have been put in their care.

So you need to tame your ego. Give in and learn as much as possible from them. When you add that to what you do on your own, you will get a long way.

Economics in high school is not that hard.

Is it hard to learn Economics in high school? No, to put it simply. Economics is not a hard class, based on what I learned as a self-taught student and later as a teacher.

But still, it depends. You see, how you approach a subject makes a big difference in how hard or easy it is.

Some people may say that high school Economics is hard because someone else told them so, and they didn’t check the facts.

As you may already know, most people do that, which is sad. They hear something said about someone or something, and, excuse my bluntness, they believe it without thinking. In fact, it is much easier for them to take in information that is bad for them.

It helps to check on your own.

It won’t help you, though. Get an open mind. Stop believing everything bad that people tell you right away. Please go do your own checks on everything.

Find out as much as you can from as many other places as you can. You might be pleasantly surprised to find out that the person who told you the bad news did so because they wanted to get something for themselves.

This is true for all kinds of negative information that toxic people love to give away for free to anyone who will listen.

All I want to say is this. If someone tells you that Economics is hard, don’t just take them at their word. Whoever that person is doesn’t matter.

They could be a senior student (who might not even be an Econs student), a teacher who loves to scare his or her students, or a “kind” and “knowledgeable” family friend. Don’t forget that talking is easy.

I’ll show you soon what to do so that Economics will no longer be hard for you. In the end, you chose to study Economics in the first place because you have the potential to do well in it.

Don’t Work Hard Economics for college students

Economics at the university level covers more complex topics and math problems than Economics in high school.

This is why you need to keep going back to the Economics course you took in high school as you study. These Economics test questions from the past will also be very helpful.

You don’t want to waste your time studying things that don’t matter or are too hard for you. Even if it comes from your teacher, it doesn’t matter.

You can help yourself by politely bringing their attention to the high school Economics curriculum. And please do it alone, not in front of the class or other people.

Your teacher will understand unless there’s a special reason for them to teach you all those complicated Economics ideas and calculations that they just learned in college.

Remember that this page is only about how to do well in high school Economics.

Stop using the phrase “mandatory question.”

When I talk with high school Economics students, I hear this phrase a lot.

When they say this, they almost always mean the so-called “data response” questions, which are usually the first and second questions on the Economics essay (written) paper.

So I ask them, “Are you supposed to answer those two questions?” If not, there is nothing that has to be done about it. You have to make a choice here, just like you have to choose from the other essay questions.

If you think of this part of the high school WAEC/WASSCE Economics paper as “required,” there is a risk that you won’t do it.

It makes you spend more time than you should on studying that subject.

Many students who have been told this falsehood tend to think that they need to study it on its own and not with the other things they are learning.

They forget that the so-called “compulsory” section tests how well they understand the ideas in the whole Economics curriculum.

Then, the same method is used for the Economics test. Too much time was spent on one “required” question.

You can’t, for example, spend 50% of your time on one question when there are three or four others waiting for you. All questions carry equal marks, please!

So be careful. If you believe this common but false idea, it will make things harder for you in the exam room and on the day your grades come out.
