What is in the Data Response Question Collection?
The IB Economics Data Response Question Collection is composed of Paper 2 and Paper 3 (HL)-style Data Response Questions. Each Data Response Question presents you with resources about a country or market and a corresponding set of questions. The variety of resources and questions ensures that you have ample opportunity to practice interpreting and analysing data, applying your knowledge to the context presented in the Data Response Question, and formulating concise and accurate responses for each question type found in Paper 2 and Paper 3 (HL). The Data Response Questions are accompanied by written markschemes and a concise sample answer, as well as video explanations that further clarify the content and the best approach to the question. Finally, you can submit your responses for detailed and targeted feedback from Newton AI.
How should the Data Response Questions be best used?
IB Economics students will benefit from actively practising the type of questions that are on the exams. By reading and analysing the data, text, and figures and answering the accompanying questions, you will improve your ability to interpret information and apply your knowledge of Economics in previously unseen contexts. You will also learn how to formulate concise and relevant responses to IB Economics questions - supported every step of the way by markschemes, video solutions, and Newton AI.
What is the difference between Open Study and Examination Mode?
A Data Response Question can be attempted in either Open Study or Examination mode. Open Study mode will allow you to answer each question at your own pace. You can also receive carefully tailored AI feedback and consult the written markscheme and video solution at each step. Alternatively, you might choose to answer all of the questions for the Data Response Question at once, in Examination Mode. Under this mode, you can tackle questions in any order you wish and go back to change answers before you submit the whole Data Response Question at once when finished. You can choose to time yourself, using the duration indicated for each Data Response Question. After completion, you will have access to all markschemes and video solutions, and you will receive AI feedback and an overall 1 - 7 mark on your submitted work. In Examination Mode, your answers will be saved so you can always return to them. In Open Study Mode, you can attempt each question anew.
How are the Data Response Questions organised? Should I go in order?
The Data Response Questions are organised by themes and papers taken from the Economics curriculum. This allows you to choose a Data Response Question that will give you more practice in a particular area of the curriculum and so better tailor your revision. Note that each Data Response Question relates to multiple subtopics, even though the focus is on one of the themes. As a result, the order in which you do the Data Response Questions is entirely dependent on your schedule and preferences. We do, however, recommend that you work through several Data Response Questions in order to apply your knowledge from across the curriculum.
How long are the Data Response Questions?
Due to the nature of the IB Economics exam, the best practice for Paper 2 and Paper 3 (HL) is to do an entire Data Response Question. However, we recognise that IB students have a lot going on, so we have created not only full Data Response Questions that are the same length as an IB Paper 2 or Paper 3 (HL), but also designed shorter Data Response Questions that will give you a similar range of practice in a shorter time period.
How hard are the Data Response Questions?
In order to tailor your revision for Paper 2 and Paper 3 (HL) we have created Data Response Questions that are relatively easy, medium or hard. The individual questions in RV Economics Data Response Questions range in difficulty from easy to hard, as indicated.
