✨ Top-Band Tips

Use data from the extract/question in your analysis
Define key terms at the start of each paragraph
Draw diagrams — AD/AS, supply/demand, cost curves
Chain your reasoning: Point → Explain → Develop → Link back
Evaluate critically: "However, this depends on...", "On the other hand..."
Use real-world examples relevant to the context
Conclude with judgement: weigh up, consider time frame, magnitude

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Listing points without developing chains
No reference to context/data given
One-sided arguments without evaluation
Vague evaluation: "it depends on..."
Missing diagrams for macro/micro analysis
Repetition instead of new analytical points
No conclusion or weak, unsupported judgement

📐 Diagram Checklist

Label BOTH axes correctly
Show original AND shifted curves
Label equilibrium points (E1, E2)
Show price/quantity changes with arrows
Title the diagram appropriately
Reference the diagram in your text
