I think the main focus of the question was also to answer "To what extent". I basically did my personal interpretation, but also brought in the concept of textual integrity as well.. so not only was it characterisation that influenced my response, but also other factors such as language...

- Going to Europe for a month with 2 friends as an 'end-of-HSC' present from my parents - HSC allows me to see what I'm capable of doing (or not capable of XD) - Made some really great friends this year. People I never talked to 4 years ago are now some of my closest friends. Gotta stick...

Hooray it came! And Thanvi got hers as well =D Thanks a lot MedNez! Loved the certificate of participation thing too =P Totally putting that in my CV.. bwaha. Anyway, for all of you curious people. It was 6 movie tickets. Now just need some good movies to watch. Lately the cinemas lacking...

How long ago was that? I haven't received it yet.. and if it's the damn mailman stuffing up again I'm gonna be super pissed off =D Looks like another visit to the post again...

To be honest, not very hard. I write a few extended responses every once in a while, and do short answers sometimes.. but it's nothing compare to what I do for other subjects. I would say I've done a total out about 3 or 4 hours of eco since graduation.. and that was nearly 3 weeks ago. I do 4...

When I said 'study' I meant the EXTRA work that you do outside of school. The people who don't 'study' and top Economics are the ones that really listened in class, do the homework, and leave it at that. No extra kind of revision. And how do they do it? Far out, I don't even know. I guess you...

I go to an all girls school. The way we approach economics is the same as every other subject - that is, do whatever we feel comfortable and to our ability. We have girls who never study and suck. We have girls who never study and topping the subject. We have girls who write like five extended...

My teacher forcasted Freetrade from the beginning of the year. He put it as the only question in the extended response question in our half yearly, and it also appeared on the CSSA trial papers this year. So it's very likely. They put in a question focused on protection in 2002. It'll be on...

Because they're changing the structure of the labour market. By deregulating, it changes how the whole system work, and thus is a "reform". I think.

It's the policy that brings about the reform, I think. IMHO, they're interchangable. I wouldn't worry too much about the difference - if there's any.

Maybe she meant that, you take an hour to get 20 marks for extended response, while people would only take probably less than 5 minutes to answer a 5 mark question in the short answers. If you think about it, it's much harder to get the 5 marks in extended response than short answers. So I think...

I guess I'm just relying on past papers. I've done most of them under timed condition, and the time I take for multiple choice and short answers are roughly the same every time, so from that I pretty much just estimate that I have around 50min for each extended response. I try to finish them in...

Other than Christianity, isn't it Judaism and Islam? 14 (I think) Jewish people came with the First Fleet, while Afghan Muslims helped open up the exploration of the Outback by camel. Or something like that. I vaguely remember reading about it.

"Interest rate rises has dampened the demand for goods and services, causing a small fall in inflation from 4% to 3% of GDP." I thought inflation is measured by the change in the CPI, and not as a percentage of GDP? "because of an increase in interest rates in a contractionary monetary policy...

I always start with an extended response first, then do multiple choice, short answer, then the last response. This way I'm not writing two huge essays in a row (give my hand a break!), and since most of your reading time should be used thinking about what you're going to write in the extended...

I think you go too much into describing, while the questions asked in extended responses are usually Discuss or Analyse questions. Just from the top of my head: 1. Maybe mention that though fiscal policy is a macro policy because of the budget outcome (surplus etc), its components are...

MedNez gave us an update 2 weeks ago.. seems like Laz is still sick, and the MedNez himself is unwell as well. The impression I got was they were gonna be mailed soon but I haven't received it yet. But yeah.. the mail dude around my area is kindda dodgy.. so I dunno if the others got it yet ^^

Haha no worry at all! I hope I haven't come across as sounding greedy and wanting it now or whatever. I was just worried something had gone wrong. Please do take your time. And hope Laz gets better soon!

So what's the update? =D

Just to let you know I haven't received it yet (dunno if mail is delayed or there's problems with the post and it's gone astray). I don't know about the others ^^
