What the syllabus covers
SSC 2027 runs on the full syllabus, so Economics covers all of the following:
- Basic concepts of economics and economic systems
- Demand, supply and equilibrium price
- Production, factors of production and cost
- Markets and competition
- National income, consumption and saving
- The economy of Bangladesh — agriculture, industry and services
- Money, banking and public finance
This is a topic list — chapter order and numbering may differ in your edition. Download the definitive syllabus from the NCTB website (nctb.gov.bd).
How to score well in Economics
- Practise drawing and explaining demand and supply curves — the diagram scores separately.
- Memorise the steps for turning a schedule into a graph.
- Knowing recent statistics on Bangladesh helps on the higher-ability part.
A preparation routine that works
- Read the textbook chapter yourself first and get the core idea — starting with a guide book leaves the concept half-formed.
- After each chapter write a one-page note in your own words: definitions, formulas or key points, and an example.
- Solve that chapter’s creative and MCQ questions from past board papers, then check your answers.
- Reserve one day a week for revision only — skim every earlier chapter note.
- Sit at least one full timed model test a month, then work out exactly where you are losing marks.
