- Composite scaled to 90 points (MCQ 60, FRQ 30). We average the last three curves to map composite → 5‑point scale.

- For FRQs, clearly label graphs: axes, equilibrium, shifts, and show directional arrows.
- Practise explaining monetary vs fiscal policy impacts on unemployment, inflation & growth.
