About the app
This app has been developed by an Australian economics educator and is designed for senior secondary (or 1st year university) students of economics. It provides hours of practice completing multiple choice (MC) tests, as well as valuable assistance understanding the key elements of any senior economics course. The explanations provided for all of the MC questions will help students to know why they went wrong. More importantly, the explanations provide an effective ‘learning tool’ and are designed to help students develop or consolidate their understanding of each area of the course. The app contains more than 100 multiple choice tests (1000+ questions in total). In addition, version 2.0 of the App includes hundreds of short answer questions requiring students to fill the gaps to reveal sample A+ answers.
All tests/questions are broken down into the 15 separate categories below:
1. Introductory concepts (40)
2. Market Mechanism (70)
3. Price Elasticities (30)
4. Market Structures (20)
5. Market Failures (30)
6. Macro activity/Eco growth (50)
7. Inflation (50)
8. Employment & Unemployment (60)
9. External Stability (50)
10.Income Distribution (40)

12. Monetary Policy (60)
13. Aggregate Supply Policies (40)
14. The Policy Mix (20)
15. Course Revision (130)
Each test contains 10 multiple questions (either MC or SA) and comes complete with test statistics and graphs. The number and range of questions makes this app an ideal companion for economics students. There is no need to waste time when travelling to or from school, or when out and about with a few minutes to spare. Test your understanding of the course and learn as you go!! Completing all of the questions and heeding the advice/information provided within the explanations is one sure way to improve your examination performance in this subject.
If you are having trouble understanding how the market mechanism works, or what is meant by a market failure, or you simply need more practice handling questions related to the external sector, this App will provide you with loads of support. It is one investment you cannot afford to pass up!
