The #1 VCE Economics Tutors in Melbourne
VCE Economics is a highly competitive subject, in which the difference of a few marks on the exam can be highly costly to your study score. On the 2024 exam, in order to meet the A+ cutoff you could only lose 7 out of the 80 total marks. The study design covers Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, the Global Economy, and Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply policies. As a very contemporary subject, Economics is always changing and very much linked to current Australian economic conditions.
The subject is not just about learning content, but applying this content to different scenarios. It is all about making links between different economic factors and the effect these have on the macroeconomic goals.

What we cover: Units 3 and 4
Unit 3 (microeconomics): how markets work – demand and supply, the price mechanism, market structures and market failure, and their effect on living standards. Unit 4 (macroeconomics): the government economic goals (strong growth, low unemployment, low inflation, external stability and equity) and the fiscal, monetary and aggregate-supply policies used to pursue them. We tie every concept to current data so your analysis is exam-ready.
