Score a 7 for HL & SL IB Economics with ETG
Watch Mr. Eugene Toh explain the ETG difference
Why Smart Students Don't Score 7s
After 19 years of teaching Economics, we've identified the hidden barriers that stop intelligent, hardworking students from reaching Grade 7. Here's what's really going wrong, and how we fix each one.
"Abstract Concepts Feel Impossible"
Market structures, costs and revenue diagrams, elasticities, firm theory... these concepts feel foreign. And IB's added quantitative elements don't make it any easier.
How ETG Fixes This:
- Real-world examples you can actually relate to
- Metaphors and stories that make content stick
- Step-by-step breakdowns from the ground up
The "Common Sense" Trap
Writing like a business blogger instead of an economist. IB wants rigorous chains of economic reasoning, not generic "supply and demand" platitudes or opinion-based answers.
How ETG Fixes This:
- Economic chain-of-reasoning frameworks
- Turn opinions into examiner-ready arguments
- Think like an economist, not a student
Diagram Precision Failures
Your diagrams look "correct" but lack examiner-grade annotations. IB wants labeled shifts, precise arrows, and annotated equilibria. Not textbook sketches.
Fix: Geniusbook Micro Diagrams with every IB diagram pre-annotated to examiner standards
Command Term Blindness
"Evaluate" and "Discuss" look similar but demand completely different responses. Most students write the same answer for both and lose marks on every essay.
Fix: Command Term Matrix so you know exactly what each word requires
"I Understand, But..."
You nod along in class. But when it's time to write a 10-mark or 15-mark Extended Response, your mind goes blank. Understanding alone doesn't earn marks.
Fix: Bridge theory to application; learn to evaluate like an examiner
See Real-World Application in Action
We train you to think like an economist, not just a student. So you're ready for curveball questions, not just standard ones.
PAIN POINT #6
Paper 1: Essays
Your essays keep getting feedback like:
How We Fix This:
- ✓ Command term mastery
- ✓ Essay structure for clarity and impact
- ✓ Evaluation with real-world examples
- ✓ Scoring criteria decoding
PAIN POINT #7
Paper 2: Data Response
Lower-order trend questions should be easy marks, yet many miss them. Higher-order questions feel like hit-or-miss, with answers lacking focus or data linkage.
How We Fix This:
- ✓ Extract key insights from data
- ✓ Answer with accuracy and structure
- ✓ Avoid vague statements
- ✓ Handle full DRQ difficulty spectrum
PAIN POINT #8
Paper 3: HL Hybrid
The Quantitative + Policy hybrid terrifies students. Most centres don't teach it properly because they focus on A-Levels. We've cracked the code.
How We Fix This:
- ✓ Dedicated Paper 3 tutorials
- ✓ Step-by-step calculation walkthroughs
- ✓ Policy recommendation frameworks
- ✓ Evaluation techniques under pressure
