Diagrams are very important for economics exams. Adding a relevant diagram to your essay will bring a strong support for your argument and will help you score a maximum of marks. A good grasp of diagrams is also essential for multiple choice questions.
The golden rule for diagrams is that they must be
✓ Accurate
✓ Big
