One of the simplest things you can do is to take notes in class. It's easy to overlook, but good notes really go a long way when you're studying for an exam.

If you're not understanding the material, talk to your teacher and ask for extra assistance. You might also a friend to see if they can help break it down for you, or you could get an outside tutor.

Question

What are the things I must know as a beginner in economics?

Community Answer

Keep abreast with the news and always follow economic decisions made globally, like read articles on why IMF has decided to fund a country or what will happen after US pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal. It will help you understand concepts so when you're taught at school you can better relate to it and get a better understanding than the other students.

Question

What if I am just in secondary school?

Community Answer

Pay attention in class and study like you would for any other class. Make sure you understand the theories the teacher presents, which are unlikely to be too complex for a secondary schooler to understand. Make sure you ask the teacher any questions you have.
