What's inside

Every core diagram, drawn properly

Markets, market failure, the theory of the firm, macro and global. Each page carries a checklist of what the examiner is actually looking for, axes, labels, shifts, the annotation students forget.

The mistake examiners see

Named on every single diagram. Students stop repeating the error once they can see it written down next to the correct version.

The Question Decoder

22 lines matching exam wording to the right diagram. "Minimum wage" means the labour market diagram, not the minimum price one, the traps students fall into are built in on purpose.

Peer-marking sheet and practice grids

The whole bank doubles as a lesson activity: students draw, swap, and score each other out of 10 against the same checklist the examiner uses.

Who it's for

Year 12 and Year 13 Economics, and any teacher who has watched a strong written answer lose marks because the diagram underneath it was unlabelled, mis-shifted, or simply the wrong diagram for the question.
