ecos comp (1 Viewer)

[marsenal]

Only after I did the comp did I realise that some of the guys on this forum actually set the comp. The thing that got the bells ringing was the question about Bambul. I guess I didn't join the dots when my teacher tolds us about the comp a week ago and having see Bambul and others with Ecos+Bus Studies Comp written in the signatures.
What did others think of it, if you actually did it.

 

[Minai]

yeah Bambul set about 10 questions on this yr's comp.
Hopefully nxt year I'll be able to set some as well..

I'll be sorting thru everyone's paper's starting from monday

 

[Bambul]

Hey, I'm famous!

Did you guys like the John Howard question? That was one of mine. But I didn't actually write the one with my name in it.

 

[yeahyeahyeahs]

omg the answer was john howard?!? haha i think i put in john maynard keynes *embarrassed*.

 

[bobo123]

are you talking about the "in the long run we're all dead"? question?

 

[Bambul]

Yeah, that's the one.

Oh and I never said that Jonh Howard was the answer. I'm not saying it it, but I'm not saying it's not.

 

[dibble]

Yes. You ditz - John Howard was the answer

And, he's my mum..

Cryptic?!

 

[bobo123]

yes
john howard said it when he decided to kill medicare

 

[dibble]

A tragic day for all Australians..

The death of medicare, that is.. (not John Howard)

 

[Harimau]

*groans* i wish i did the comp, but my stupid school didnt sign us up...

 

[Bambul]

So what's your feedback on the questions? Was it too hard/too easy? Any questions that you found interesting? Did you think you went well? etc

 

[yeahyeahyeahs]

im waiting on a Participation Certificate i thought the graph ones, comparative or absoute advantage and table things were hard but I think its just my inability to tackle more graphical concepts.

 

[bobo123]

what was the answer to question 14?
the one about which will affect long run and short run aggregate demand?

 

[Minai]

going thru the answer sheets that have been coming in....its weird how ppl think its funny to answer all the questions and not enter a name on the sheet at all !

I thought it was alright, but then again it also depends on how I went, because a lot of the questions I was only half sure, but decided to answer them all, hoping that the odds would be with me.
So what is the Johnie Howard answer. I think I put Keynes. Also what was the answer to the one about which on the things wasn't a form of capital? There was tree, warehouse and the others I can't remember.
Btw, when do you guys expect to have all the marking and the like done by?

 

[bobo123]

i put a tree

well, wen we get all the papers back from the schools, they are checked for any errors etc. then we send it off to the machine thing to be computer marked. I'm not sure how long this process is.

R u guys allowed to give us answers to the exam?
I found it so weird, and the John Howard questions was so funny!

 

[Bambul]

The answer to question 4 (the one about capital) is (b) A tree.

The answer to question 14 (the one about short-run and long-run aggregate supply) is (a) The labour force increases.

And the answer to question 35 (the John Howard one) is (d) John Maynard Keynes.

Now: did anyone know what a liquidity trap was?

 

[ellipsis]

I thought the eco comp was okay. I didn't know every answer but I put down something anyway...I'm such a compulsive gambler, the lure of one mark is so way better than the loss of a 1/4

I don't *know* what a liquidity trap is, but I put that as the answer because it made the most sense (in my warped mind) plus you could eliminate some others. I could be very very wrong though... am I ?
