The IB Economics Standard Level (SL) Tutoring Program provides focused support to help students develop a strong understanding of economic theories and concepts, strengthen their Internal Assessment (Commentaries), and prepare effectively for external examinations.

Tutors also help students apply economic theories and models to current real-world issues, structure well-developed economic responses, and critically evaluate economic issues, building confidence and accuracy for Internal Assessment and external examinations.

IB Economics SL is graded on a 1–7 scale, with 7 being the highest grade. The final grade is calculated based on two components: 70% comes from two external examination papers and 30% comes from the Internal Assessment.
The Internal Assessment consists of a portfolio of three commentaries, based on published extracts from news media. The commentaries are based on different units of the syllabus and use different key concepts as a lens for analysis.
Both SL and HL cover the core areas of microeconomics, macroeconomics, and the global economy and use the same nine key concepts and real-world focus. However, HL includes additional content, greater depth, and three external examination papers instead of two, with more extensive analytical and evaluation requirements. Both levels require the Internal Assessment portfolio of three commentaries.
Economics SL is ideal for students who have an interest in economics and want to develop a strong understanding of economic concepts, models, and theories while applying them to current real-world issues, all while maintaining a balanced academic workload within the IB Diploma Programme (DP).
