Microeconomics Assessment Tests Simon D Pratt

his book provides an invaluable resource for busy teachers of A level, International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement and first year university/ college students of economics or business. Here, there are 13 sets of explained true/ false questions which are designed to secure and strengthen an excellent understanding of key principles in economics. In doing so, many of the questions asked have been set with a clear aim of stretching and challenging students to deliver top grades in their final examinations. To this extent, some material has been introduced which may not be found in the more basic text books. A key objective of this book is to help develop the skills needed to tackle multiple choice question papers. Here, students become familiar with the skill of interrogating every word in the question - many of which often depend upon a single phrase or word. Several universities also assess first year business economics students using either multiple choice or true/ false test papers, which means that equal gains can be made by students at undergraduate level. Model answers are also provided, which allows students to mark their own papers, if required, again making best use of teachers' time. They also provide students with a permanent feedback record, which will prove invaluable during the final examination preparation period. Each of the test papers covers an individual area of the syllabus, which may be set on a weekly basis as a topic test. They can also be used very effectively as a researched homework activity. However, these materials will work equally well as a revision tool in the second term by helping keep students' knowledge of micro-economics fresh where teaching may have moved on to macro-economics.
