How to I approach the 10 mark question on paper 1?

Start by defining the key economic terms which are used in the question. This is absolutely essential. After your definitions move on to the next paragraph. In the second paragraph you need to explain the relavant economic theory. A diagram is almost always necessary. In the final paragraph include a real life example. This is key to scoring in the 8-10 point range.
