IB Economics Online Private Tutoring in Dubai
Why is IB Economics so difficult?
For students in Dubai, IB economics is a challenging subject. It demands a strong proficiency with theoretical concepts, discerning responses to data analysis questions, and concise, well structured essay writing. For HL economics students, there is also the additional challenge of Paper 3, which involves additional mathematical calculations and conceptual understanding. Candidates find the complex content of IB economics difficult to adapt to, as the assessment components and criteria are much closer to university material than they are to the economics studied in MYP, IGCSE, and other early secondary school programmes. Without adequate support for an expert tutor, understanding the course’s vast array of topics can be a challenge, and it is easy for learners to fall behind.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I do well in IB economics?
BartyED recommends several methods for students in Dubai looking to achieve a 7 in IB economics. Firstly, reviewing past papers and practice questions is imperative. This will improve time management, content understanding, and active recall. For effective exam practice, learners must ensure that they have mastered all areas of the syllabus. Using this knowledge, as well as learning from model answers and real-world examples, students can build a collection of evaluation points to use in their exam.
What is the difference between IB economics and A-Level economics?
IB economics has a far greater focus on critical thinking and analysis than A-Level economics, which primarily focuses on mastering technical knowledge.Both qualifications cover the two components of microeconomics and macroeconomics, though the A-Level curriculum places far less emphasis on international perspectives. Finally, assessment methods for the two qualifications differ as well. IB economics uses Internal Assessment, where students complete three commentaries based on real-world economic events, accounting for 20% of the final grade. There are also written examinations covering all syllabus areas. On the other hand, A-Level economics primarily relies on written examinations with multiple-choice questions, data response questions, and essay writing.
