Strategy tips

Distinguish short-run from long-run claims carefully. A trade-off that's true in the short run (Phillips curve) is often false in the long run โ€” many questions test exactly this distinction.

Don't confuse the deficit with the debt. One is an annual flow; the other is an accumulated stock. Read the question stem carefully to see which one it's asking about.

Growth questions are usually about supply-side factors โ€” human capital, physical capital, technology, resources โ€” not short-run demand management.

Read the explanations even when you got it right. Each one teaches a small fact that often returns in a different form on the exam.
