This app has been developed by an Australian economics educator and is designed for senior secondary (or 1st year university) students of economics. It provides hours of practice completing multiple choice tests, as well as valuable assistance understanding the key elements of any senior economics course. The explanations provided for the majority of questions will help students to know why they went wrong.

Completing all of the questions and heeding the advice/information provided within the explanations is one sure way to improve your examination performance in this subject.
