  • This book really does what its title suggests and puts the entire IB HL and SL Economics course content into a wonderfully convenient and beautifully constructed "nutshell". As such, it will prove to be an invaluable asset for students and teachers of IB Economics alike, making life for both groups considerably easier!

  • A concise time saver! It follows the syllabus to the letter and is very thorough. Before covering a topic, I double-check The Nutshell so as not to miss a thing. My students were thrilled to have it before their exams.

  • The Nutshell is a concise, easy to use exam study guide - an excellent resource for students to complement their textbook and class notes. My students have described it as "a life-saver" and "indispensable".

  • This book is an excellent guide as IB students approach exams. It contains the entire syllabus, including a glossary in 100 pages. What I found useful the month before exams was to have my students commit to studying 3 pages per day. This was a manageable number, so they were able to review all material with relatively little stress. It is not a new textbook, its purpose is to present information tailored to the IB in a concise manner, so the student makes the most efficient use of his/her study time.

  • An extremely well-written book, that answers to all of the questions of the IB syllabus without having to go back and forth to find the answer. It has all the information needed in one place. It is an amazing energy-saver book.

  • Collecting only the essence of IB Economics, it is compact and concise yet comprehensive.

  • I really enjoyed this study guide. It was extremely effective in preparing me for my recent HL Economics exams as it has a great layout that is very organized and color coated. It gives you everything you need from the definitions to the graphs and evaluations of each concept. I'd definitely recommend it!

  • I have been working on economics these past few days, and I realized that I have lent my nutshell to one of my friends. Until Sunday I will be in Adana, so I don't have any possible way to get my book back. It would be great help if I had one. What should I do?

  • The Nutshell is very concise and clear. I wouldn't know how to study for the IB exam without it!

  • A reader-friendly guide that really sparks up the memory before exams.

  • It's perfect because since it follows the syllabus exactly, I don't have to take notes in class and this way I can pay attention to the lesson

  • IB Economics in a Nutshell is a concise study guide and an excellent complement to the textbook and my own notes when studying for tests, especially mini mock exams.”

  • This book is exactly what an IB student with Economics as a subject should study as a good and in-depth revision before tests and exams. It is so helpful as you feel that you have absolute control of the size of the syllabus and that everything is so organised, especially for final exams. What I love the most about this book, is that I could find everything very quickly and this may help other students who are anxious and who want to revise so easily. I strongly recommend this book due to its size and its very well written content, that makes you feel like you can control the amount of work you have to do and helps you remember all the basic points and examples.

  • I like the key in the beginning. I know how each page is organized and I get the most out of each page. It's efficient.

  • This study guide was very helpful for understanding the information needed for both IB SL and HL Economics exam. It helped me to completely understand each topic fully and clearly in the simplest form possible. Not only does this study guide allowed us to see the SL material, it also color coated the HL material in the same section which I found very helpful!! Overall, a great study guide for IB Economics exams and I would definitely recommend this to any teacher for economics or student learning economics!!

  • This book is the best study guide for the IB economics course. All the information you need to get a top grade is in those 100 pages.
