JAMB Economics covers both micro and macroeconomics, with a strong emphasis on Nigerian economic policy, trade, banking and development. It is one of the more scoring social science subjects for well-prepared students.
Questions on demand and supply curves, elasticity, national income, money and banking, and international trade appear in almost every year. Understanding the diagrams and definitions precisely is what separates high scorers from average ones.
