Does anyone have insights into studying economic information or studying in general? Business studies is probably the most common route concerning economics, although it might even be easier to advance through information technology and mathematical fields.
The entrance exam for business studies, in its current form, has also been so accessible that I find it to be a fascinating reasoning test. When you have to think at the level of four multiple-choice statements, and not just memorize the content of books, which is the more common entrance exam format in Finland. Below are examples of recent years’ entrance exams and a website where you can find a keyword search summary of high school economics course books.
As a disclaimer, I could clarify that I made the latter website myself as part of a trilogy of free study utility websites. The first one, http://helpotnopat.fi/, concerned the easiest study credits.
But as was discussed on the website, it might be that in the business studies entrance exam, which is more about economic information than economic models, an applicant benefits more from, for example, reading the “Pörssien suunta” (Stock Market Direction) thread and following “Vernerin Vartti” (Verneri’s Quarter) on YouTube than, for instance, Matti Pohjola’s Economics Textbook or Econ Core’s Talous. Since the entrance exam also asks for understanding of what has been read, but does not necessarily delve into economic models and theory before the basic course in economics. So, one can also study by expanding their general knowledge.
