Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Economics HL course planner cover?

Every topic in the live Learning Portal's own Economics HL structure — 4 topics in total, from "Introduction to Economics" through "The Global Economy" — plus assessment checkpoints and a past paper practice block near the end of your plan.

Are the topic hours official IB DP figures?

No. IB DP doesn't publish an official hours-per-topic breakdown for this subject. Each topic's share of the plan is calculated proportionally from how many subtopics the Learning Portal itself lists under that topic — a reasonable pacing proxy, not an official weighting. Treat the hours as a starting point you can adjust.

What if I have less time than the plan needs?

The plan shows a "Feasible" or "Tight" badge comparing your available weekly hours to the total target. If it's tight, increase your weekly study hours, move your start date earlier, or reduce the past paper years target — the plan regenerates instantly.

Does this link to real lessons, not just a generic homepage?

Yes. Any week that covers a single topic links straight to that topic's real page in the Tutopiya Learning Portal — notes, video lessons, quizzes and past papers for that exact topic, not just the subject's front page.

Can I export this course plan?

Yes — after a one-time free sign-up, export to an Excel-ready CSV, a printable PDF, or a calendar file (.ics) you can import into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook.
