The WEC is open to all high school students around the world. The competition is designed to challenge, so will not be easy. Students should see it as an opportunity to develop their thinking and problem solving skills, and to test their existing knowledge of economics in real-world situations.

Participation in WEC is free of charge.

If you would like to take part in the WEC, you must let your school or organization know so that they can register on your behalf. We can’t accept registrations from students directly.

No, we will ask for the complete list later. All you need in order to register is the basic information about your school/organization.

Students will get question samples and learning materials after registration to prepare for the competition.

Yes. Taking an economics course is not a prerequisite for attending the WEC. We advocate that the competition is fair to all the levels of students. Whether you have taken an economics course or not has no certain effect on your performance. WEC values your ability of thinking, understanding and application. In the test questions of the competition, WEC will give as much relevant background and theoretical knowledge as possible. Students can complete the questions with the knowledge and information given in the test paper.

No. The scope of the test does not have much to do with the scope of the reference material. Furthermore, most of the knowledge in the test paper is not available in the reference materials. Please note that the WEC is a test of thinking and problem-solving, rather than a test of knowledge and memory. However, the reference materials will help you to understand the subject, and be familiar with the thinking mode and basic theories, which will enable you to understand the new knowledge faster and better in the competition.
