It names the 5 Micro topics the JC1 promos test and says where your last weeks should go. If your promos are inside 3 weeks, go from there to Track C on page 27, the triage run.
The rest is Microeconomics and exam craft, written for the JC1 Promotional Examinations: the OCDS question read, the R1 and R2 essay spine, the 4E paragraph method, the DATE move for case studies, 3 evaluation masterclass pages, self-audit checklists across all 5 topics, an evaluation bank you can adapt, the diagrams that earn marks, a 60 day plan in 3 tracks, and 6 complete model essays with coach notes in the margin.
The 6 model essays are condensed for clarity and to fit the guide. ETG students receive the full, fully developed versions in the 50 Model Essays bank, issued in class.
The Study Sprint is five 90 minute lessons working through about 25 exam questions. For JC1 the first three are the promo topics: lesson 1 is demand and supply and elasticities, lesson 2 is market failure and intervention, and lesson 3 is market structures and firm behaviour, which page 8 marks H2 only. Mr Toh teaches lesson 1, Ms Cherilyn teaches lessons 2 and 3, and Mr Clarence teaches lessons 4 and 5.
Page 8 also says where to weight the time you have left: most of it on demand and supply, the CSQ workhorse, and on market failure and intervention, where the essay and evaluation marks are. Those are lessons 1 and 2 of the day.
The three days
The Ultimate Exam Pack runs six to nine days: the crashcourses, the Economics Essence Workshop, the Final Consolidation Lecture and two full Mock Examinations, with materials couriered to you. The writing craft, the evaluation moves and the diagram families in this guide are the same skills those days drill, at higher stakes.
