What this practice covers
These questions are drawn from past Cambridge IGCSE papers and filtered to supply-side policy. You answer, you find out immediately whether you were right, and you get the reasoning for the correct option and for each distractor. Wrong answers go to a mistakes locker so you can come back to exactly those.
Practice is free. You need an account only so your progress and your mistakes are still there next time.

What examiners see students get wrong here
These are the errors that cost marks on supply-side policy, taken from our own topic notes. Read them before you practise and you will recognise the traps in the questions.
- Confusing supply-side policy with fiscal policy. Both may involve tax changes, but the aim differs: fiscal policy targets demand, supply-side targets capacity.
- Claiming supply-side policies fix a recession quickly, their lags are the longest of any policy.
- Listing measures without saying how each raises productive capacity.
- Ignoring the equity effects of cutting benefits or union power.
- Saying privatisation always improves efficiency, without mentioning the risk of a private monopoly.
