Guidance to Score Good in Class 11 Economics:

Economics can be a tough subject to score well in in exams. However, the experts at Extramarks have compiled a list of time tested and proven tips to stand out in these exams. Students can incorporate them into their preparation strategy to score high grades.

Some of the useful tips are as follows:

  • Make a habit of studying the Economics subject NCERT Books daily. Read at least 4-5 pages every day.
  • Try to practice answer writing from CBSE sample papers after learning any new topic or after completion of any chapter from the CBSE syllabus.
  • Try to cover the microeconomics portion first and then proceed to statistics.
  • Students must focus more on the numerical portion of statistics and learn the formulas for mean, median, mode, correlation, standard deviation, etc. to master the topic.
  • Evaluate the CBSE previous year question papers and integrate them into daily study sessions.
  • Include examples, diagrams and flowcharts while answering questions.
  • Check out the CBSE extra questions on Extramarks to be prepared for any type of questions from the CBSE syllabus. 

Learning Definitions and Meanings

Definitions and meanings are an important part of preparation. Some of the useful tips are given below:

  • In order to learn definitions, students must first understand the meaning of the terms involved in the economic context and not in the literal sense.
  • Definitions require a formal structuring of the sentence and thus, learners are expected to memorise them.
  • Make a list of definitions in a separate notebook and revise it often to commit it to memory.
  • The correct definition will guarantee good grades in the exams.

Difference Between Questions:

Some questions can be highly scoring while others may be difficult to get right. Students should keep the following points in mind when attempting questions during exams:

  • Questions that require the direct statement of facts will fetch high marks.
  • Make a neat and clean table to explain details while answering questions.
  • The answers should be adequately spaced.
  • Give relevant examples wherever applicable.
  • All points must be valid and to the point because examiners tend to dislike answers that beat around the bush.
  • Students should use tabulations, graphs and flowcharts to accentuate their answers.
  • Refer to CBSE important question papers provided by Extramarks to note which questions to attempt and how to write better answers.
  • Make use of CBSE revision notes from Extramarks to draft answers.

The subject of Economics is broadly demarcated into four types. 

Namely

  • Traditional Economy
  • Market Economy
  • Command Economy
  • Mixed Economy

Benefits of Economics Class 11 Syllabus

Every student should access the CBSE Class 11 Economics syllabus before starting to learn new topics. Extramarks has made the syllabus easily accessible in a PDF format, so students can access the same.

  • Going through the syllabus will narrow down the topics to be read.
  • It highlights the high scoring topics as weightage of the units are mentioned.
  • It also has relevant information about the marks’ distribution in both terms.
  • The syllabus contains all guidelines regarding the project work, methods of submission and presentation.
  • The syllabus has provided information about viva voce to be conducted by both internal and external examiners.
  • Students often tend to memorise the entire text which has little relevance with relation to the examinations, so adhering to the syllabus helps avoid those irrelevant material and cuts down unnecessary stress.
  • Adhering to the syllabus is helpful in providing a bird’s eye view of the examination and that saves time.


ECONOMICS (Code No. 030)

(2022-23)

Rationale

Economics is one of the social sciences, which has great influence on every human being. As economic life and the economy go through changes, the need to ground education in children’s own experience becomes essential. While doing so, it is imperative to provide them opportunities to acquire analytical skills to observe and understand the economic realities.

At senior secondary stage, the learners are in a position to understand abstract ideas, exercise the power of thinking and to develop their own perception. It is at this stage, the learners are exposed to the rigour of the discipline of economics in a systematic way.

The economics courses are introduced in such a way that in the initial stage, the learners are introduced to the economic realities that the nation is facing today along with some basic statistical tools to understand these broader economic realities. In the later stage, the learners are introduced to economics as a theory of abstraction.

The economics courses also contain many projects and activities. These will provide opportunities for the learners to explore various economic issues both from their day-to-day life and also from issues, which are broader and invisible in nature. The academic skills that they learn in these courses would help to develop the projects and activities. The syllabus is also expected to provide opportunities to use information and communication technologies to facilitate their learning process.

Objectives:

  • Understanding of some basic economic concepts and development of economic reasoning which the learners can apply in their day-to-day life as citizens, workers and
  • Realisation of learners’ role in nation building and sensitivity to the economic issues that the nation is facing today.
  • Equipment with basic tools of economics and statistics to analyse economic issues. This is pertinent for even those who may not pursue this course beyond senior secondary
  • Development of understanding that there can be more than one view on any economic issue and necessary skills to argue logically with

2. What are some study tips to score well in CBSE Economics questions?

CBSE sample papers are a need for perfecting one’s academic preparation. Within the allotted three hours, students must attempt to solve these papers. During the last month of the academic year, CBSE revision notes are available for quick last-minute revision. Students must practice and revise CBSE past years’ papers, and CBSE Extra Questions for a full analysis of difficulty level, time management and marks distribution among other things. It is recommended to practise CBSE questions from the past years’ question papers or sample papers for further practice. Extramarks has also provided CBSE notes, formulas, etc to help students step up their preparation with reliable and accurate study material irrespective of the student’s level. It’s better to plan, prepare and ensure that you’re confident before and during the exam.

3. Is Class 11 Economics tough?

The study of Economics is both a broad and fascinating field of study. Depending on their preferences, skills, and abilities, it may or may not be simple for some students.  Some schools offer Economics as a fifth or sixth subject. Students generally believe that as a fifth or sixth subject they can easily improve their grades without much effort. Such students will face difficulties if they choose Economics. Without reading the content carefully and comprehending it, students cannot succeed in exams. The subject also calls for applying critical thinking and common sense.Thus, students will find Economics to be easy and interesting only if they have a real interest in the subject.
