Pretty happy, hoping for 90 raw mark. What did everyone put for q8 of the multiple choice where you had to select the appropriate response for each cause and the short answer q impact of aggregate supply on economic growth.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so smart man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm hoping for a 30 raw mark at best (my trial is only worth 30% so only 30 marks) unlike yours which is worth your full internal!!! good work mate

What structure did people use for the macroeconomic policy and objectives essay?

 

[Drifting95]

Was okay, multiple choice were a bit difficult in my opinion for CSSA compared to previous years

What structure did people use for the macroeconomic policy and objectives essay?

Not sure what is the correct way, but i just spoke about each policy individually, said how it is conducted and than went through price stability, full employment and economic growth for each.

Quuick question, did anyone see the examiners at the back

did it have any trinity grammar teachers such as ian moore or mrs clarke

we did the independant paper last week, he changed the questions, apparantly they were all from the CSSA paper

i.e monetary policies , forums/International organisations/ trade blocs and we had an exchange rate

 

[SharkeyBoy]

I went surprisingly well!! haha.
I wrote 8.5 pages for macroeconomic policies (i doubt anyone would've chose micro lol) and my teacher replaced the second extended response question to a globalisation case study question and i wrote 6.5 pages for that!! sooo happy

 

[Insanity95]

Quite happy with the exchange rate extended response question.
Not a bad test overall.
Multiple choice was a little difficult.

 

[SharkeyBoy]

Was that exam booklets or just lined paper?


Also, can anyone refresh me on what the other stimulus essay was on? Not the monetary policy one.

 

[lolwot]

Oh and what was the answer to the GDP calculation question lol???

Umm not 8.5 and 6.5 booklets, that's crazy!! haha, just pages. theres 7pages in our booklets, so one had 2 booklets and the other just 1 booklet

 

[SharkeyBoy]

Oh and what was the answer to the GDP calculation question lol???

i did GDP / CPI
i got a number that was exactly divisible by 100 (either 400 or 800, think it was 400, i forgot)

 

[NFmusic1995]

Examine the influence of international organisations and trading blocs in promoting globalisation

mine was a bit different

it was analyse the impact on int organisations, trade blocs and economic forums

 

[Marc26]

Oh and what was the answer to the GDP calculation question lol???

Nominal x (100/CPI) = _______
So 840 x (100/105) = 800

 

[Drifting95]

Nominal x (100/CPI) = _______
So 840 x (100/105) = 800

+1

Got this
