Economics

Hi guys, unfortunately my first preference of Biology 3/4 clashed with Chemistry Units 1 and 2 (there was only one of each class); So I now have Economics Units 3 and 4, which isn't too bad because it was my first reserve.
I've always been good at commerce throughout year 7-10, but I haven't done 1/2 Economics.. So I want to be able to read the stuff over the holidays.

The book we study at school is called "Economics Down Under Book 1" I was wondering if anyone has the book (PDF) or anything that contains 1/2 Economics.

If you have any other notes or any other tips, please don't be afraid to contact me via my inbox.
My principal (who teaches the subject) asked how is my writing.. I replied with fast and readable; he also asked how I am with analysing stuff.. I replied with Quite decent.. Why did he ask these questions? 0.o

Thank you very much.

Not a lot of economics students on VN I'm afraid. I don't have a pdf version of the book either. However, it is not necessary to do units 1+2 to do 3+4 (I did, but others in my class didn't.)

As for why your teacher asked you that... I'm not really sure, obviously economics is a subject that has a fair bit of writing, and a bit of analysis-style questions, but no more than most subjects.

everything you need to know is covered in 3\4, so I'd just get the 3\4 textbook early, and ask questions about things you need to know on VN:)

It isn't too bad, some of it gets boring, but you'll learn a lot of useful information.

Some bits are more interesting than others, but in the whole it's good to know that it's all relevant and applicable stuff that you can actually use in the real world.

Honestly, it was in year 11.  Now, not so much.  But yeah, it's pretty interesting.

Eco usually goes 40 --> 42, 45 --> 46, so it goes up a little bit. I've decided not to do it in VCE in favour of exploring other subject areas as I'll be covering quite a bit in uni, and first year eco subjects apparently assume no previous knowledge. But Eco sounds amazing; especially behavioural economics, game theory, economics history and all that stuff!! :)

I'm going to LOL very hard if you decide to change all of your university stuff.

But yeah, it seems awesome.

I think a lot of the stuff are common sense aswell. I think the short answers is goin to be hard.  And my teacher said that you can predict what is going to be on the exam, cos they normally write it on what is actually going on in Australia.  Eg. GFC
