Everything you need to practice exam-style questions, understand your mistakes, and revise more efficiently.
Start revisingAugment Education brings together flashcards, questionbanks, and AI feedback to help students learn key content, practice exam-style questions, and understand where they can improve.
Welcome back, Alex Chen!
Augment helps you organise revision around what matters: learning the syllabus, applying it, and improving from mistakes.

Use flashcards to remember key definitions, concepts, formulas, and ideas.

Work through exam-style questions by subject and topic.

Get AI feedback that helps explain mistakes and shows what to improve next.

Instead of passively reading the same notes again and again, use active recall to test whether you can remember key ideas without looking. This helps you find the definitions, formulas, explanations, and concepts that still need more attention.
Revision is most effective when weaker knowledge is revisited over time. By returning to the concepts you struggle with, you can strengthen your memory and make important content easier to recall under exam pressure.

What is price elasticity of demand?
Responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in price, calculated as percentage change in quantity demanded divided by percentage change in price.

Practice
Rather than choosing questions at random, focus your practice on the subjects, topics, and difficulty levels that matter most. Targeted practice helps you spend more time on the areas that actually need improvement.
Strong IB performance depends on more than memorising content. By working through exam-style questions, you practice applying ideas, explaining your reasoning, and solving problems in the way assessments require.

Question 4
Explain why a product with many close substitutes is likely to have more elastic demand.
Review
After completing a question, feedback helps you see what was missing, unclear, or underdeveloped in your answer. This makes it easier to understand why a response could be improved and what to focus on before trying again.
Reviewing the expected points helps you understand what a good answer should include. Instead of only seeing whether you were right or wrong, you can learn the structure, detail, and reasoning needed for a stronger response.

AI Marking
Demand is elastic when consumers can switch to alternatives easily, so a small price rise causes a larger fall in quantity demanded.
Explanation
Strong core definition and a relevant link to substitutes. To reach full marks, develop the causal chain with a clearer consequence for total revenue or consumer choice.
Strengths
Clear definition, correct concept, and an appropriate example of substitutes affecting elasticity.
Areas for Improvement
Add one more developed implication to show stronger causal depth and make the answer more exam-ready.

Mark Scheme
Answer
Price elasticity of demand - 7 marks
Define price elasticity of demand as the responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in price.
Explain that close substitutes make it easier for consumers to switch when price rises.
Link switching behaviour to a proportionally larger fall in quantity demanded.
Explanation
The mark scheme rewards both the definition and the reasoning. A complete answer needs to show why alternatives change consumer behaviour, then connect that behaviour to elasticity.
