Study Tips for Succeeding in Economics

Economics is a subject you learn by doing,

not by memorizing.

The more you work problems,

the better you understand the concepts –

and the better you’ll do on exams.

Study Tip # 1: Practice, practice, practice.

MyEconLab gives you lots of practice and study resources. For every chapter, you get:

– Practice Tests – Homework if assigned by the instructor

– Study Plan – eText upgrade optional

Click Quizzes & Tests to find Sample Tests for each chapter.

Use them for practice, and to test your understanding of the chapter.

Study Tip # 1: Practice, practice, practice.

Study Tip # 2: Identify your strengths, and overcome your weaknesses.

You’ll do better on exams when you

identify which topics you know well,

and master topics you don’t know yet.

MyEconLab helps you do both.

Your Practice Test results generate a Study Plan.

Beside each chapter topic, you’ll see:• Yellow star if you’ve mastered the topic• Red arrow if you need to review and study the topic

For problems you haven’t mastered, click the name of the topic to find:

• Additional practice problems• Each practice problem has study aids that help

you master that specific type of problem: guided solutions, animations, and more.

Study Tip # 2: Identify your strengths, and overcome your weaknesses.

Study Tip # 3: Seek out help when you need it.
