ACT SSC Economics Study Notes Year 11 & 12
Revise BSSS Economics with structured unit summaries that connect theory, data and policy evaluation.
ACT SSC Economics develops the ability to explain economic behaviour, interpret data and evaluate policy choices across local, national and global contexts. These notes break the course into clear unit summaries so you can strengthen understanding before class tests, assignments and moderated assessment tasks.
Topic Summaries
Unit 1 — Microeconomics
Explains how consumers, firms and governments interact in markets, with emphasis on demand, supply, elasticity and the reasons intervention may improve outcomes.
Unit 2 — Macroeconomics
Focuses on national performance indicators such as growth, inflation and unemployment, and shows how economists interpret those measures to judge economic health.
Unit 3 — The Global Economy
Covers trade, exchange rates, globalisation and balance of payments analysis so you can explain how international forces shape Australian outcomes.
Unit 4 — Economic Policy
Examines fiscal, monetary and supply-side policy, including the trade-offs governments face when they pursue stability, growth, employment and fairness.
How to Study Effectively
Economics revision is strongest when you cycle between the model, the diagram and the application. Read the unit summary, redraw the key diagram from memory, then explain a recent or hypothetical policy shift in your own words. Flashcards are most useful for terminology, definitions and the logic behind each curve shift or policy tool.
