i did the macroeconomic policies/economic growth question and the CAD question. i didn't find the need to put in diagrams and i wrote a solid 1200 words on each.
MCQ's were surprisingly breezy but the question where you had to interpret a graph to find which year monetary was MOST contractionary from cash rate figures what did everyone put? The highest nominal cash rate was in a different year than the highest real cash rate.

What question stuffed you up most?

 

[Evertonian]

The cash rate one, the one where it was the most contractionary...i put 2008.
Extended response was ok, thank god there was no globalisation. Although, i dunnoo how people put graphs in their responses.
Some short answer questions were annoying, like the reasons for inequality in the global economy.
And yeah pretty good i guess.

how did everyone's time management go?
i tried to do m/c and s/a in a bit more than an hour and have 55 minutes for each essay.

 

[primalelement]

i always have time management issues in eco,
but my essays always take longer than the time they set.

My eco. teacher modded our extended response. We got one on exchange rates, um monetary policy. And one on inflation, and the CAD. Exchange rates and inflation for me
Did the CSSA. Actually, maybe it was only the exchange rate q that was modded. I don't remember.

I really liked the exam, short answer and multiple choice. Extended response is where I'll go wrong though. ~12-15/20 maybe for each.

how did anyone who did the CAD question go with it?
and anyone have any favourite/least favourite short answers?

Yeah pretty breezy 6 pages. I like CAD questions. There is always plenty to put into them.

Also I thought the m/c and s/a were both pretty easy.

Did 26 and 28 but it seems that writing another page or two would have allowed me to answer both 25 and 26 in one essay?! Did anyone think that... Only thing is 25 didnt say monetary.

What does everyone think?

Think I stuffed up a m/c on micro policy... something about welfare/G. Did anyone get that? Dunno what question it was (14-17 somewhere?)

Same. Had heaps of stats and everything for Iceland but not too disappointed because I liked the macro and BOP topics for essays.

Writing pads but i had about a page of diagrams.

That sucks. Some of the monetary policy you can do from RBA intervention in the exchange rates topic but yeah. Fiscal needs work.

i tried to do m/c and s/a in a bit more than an hour and have 55 minutes for each essay.

the hardest section in my eyes was the multiple choice
short answer was simple and so were the essays
i did the macroeconomics policies relating to economic growth that question n got 1 and a half booklets so 15 pages and i did CAD causes and effects and got 12 pages
hopefully full marks in short answer n essays and around 15/20 for multis

i learnt china case study a good 8 pages and it wasnt in it

where it asked for benefits of microeconomic policy? What did you put? I think I put foreign firms having a greater market share in australia because the rest were related to fiscal policy baha

we didnt finish off topic 4, but our teacher taught us everything that was required in the last week before the trials...

 

[mwah015]

how did everyone go in the short answers???

 

[hairspray]

For me the short- answer questions was the easiest bit, then the essays.
For me the short answer section was almost general knowledge except for the calculations. I died in the multiple choice... it didnt make sense!
