Why this subject matters<\/div>\n

IB Economics is diagrams, real-world application<\/em> and IA commentaries.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
7<\/div>\n
the top grade, consistently achieved by our focused IB Economics students<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

IB Economics underwent a major syllabus change in recent years \u2014 the new specification places heavy weight on real-world application, the nine “key concepts” (scarcity, choice, efficiency, equity, economic well-being, sustainability, change, interdependence, intervention), and the IA portfolio of three commentaries based on real news articles.<\/p>\n

Where grades are actually won<\/h3>\n

For most students, the decider is the 10-mark and 15-mark essays on Paper 1 and Paper 3. These require labelled diagrams, specific key concept integration, real-world examples and explicit evaluation. Classroom teaching rarely drills the full checklist \u2014 and students lose 8\u201312 marks per paper as a result.<\/p>\n

How we teach it<\/h3>\n

Every Times Edu Economics student writes one full essay per week from week 3 onwards, marked against the exact IB criteria. IA commentaries are coached separately \u2014 from article selection through to final submission \u2014 with examiner-style feedback on each of the three portfolio pieces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Syllabus Content<\/div>\n

Assessment Structure<\/div>\n

Every paper and every IA, mapped.<\/em><\/h2>\n

IB assessment mixes exam papers with the Internal Assessment \u2014 and the IA is where most schools lose marks. Here is the full breakdown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
PAPER 1<\/div>\n

Common Pitfalls<\/div>\n

Why even strong students<\/em> lose IB points here.<\/h2>\n

These are the three traps we see most often in diagnostic sessions with new IB Diploma Economics students \u2014 and every one is fixable with focused coaching.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
PITFALL 01<\/div>\n

Missing the key concept<\/h4>\n

The new syllabus requires every essay to integrate one of nine key concepts explicitly. Students who skip this cap at grade 4 regardless of content quality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
PITFALL 02<\/div>\n

Weak IA article selection<\/h4>\n

A poorly chosen article makes a full commentary impossible. We coach selection in week 1 \u2014 articles must be current, international, and rich in economic content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
PITFALL 03<\/div>\n

Skipped evaluation<\/h4>\n

15-mark essays must include explicit evaluation. Students who argue one-sidedly lose 5\u20138 marks per essay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

My Economics IA portfolio went from a predicted 4 to a final 40\/45. Three sessions per commentary and my mentor showed me exactly what the examiners were scoring against. Final grade: 7.<\/p>\n

\n
\nIs the new IB Economics syllabus harder than the old one?<\/summary>\n

Moderately harder \u2014 the real-world application requirement and key concept integration add new complexity. But it is also more coachable because the criteria are now more explicit. We teach to the current syllabus.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\nHL or SL?<\/summary>\n

HL adds Theory of the Firm, Game Theory and Paper 3 \u2014 and is required for most competitive Economics, Finance and PPE programmes. SL is sufficient for students taking Economics as a secondary subject.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\nCan you help with the IA portfolio?<\/summary>\n

Yes \u2014 this is one of our most requested services. We coach article selection, commentary structure, and each of the three portfolio pieces separately. Most students gain 10\u201315 marks against predicted with our portfolio coaching.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\nDo you integrate Vietnam-specific economic data?<\/summary>\n

Yes. We encourage IA commentaries on ASEAN and Vietnamese economic issues where appropriate \u2014 examiners reward specificity and cultural context.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
