So I think Q20 was a trick question. I think the answer is D because there are no imports, so in fact the revenue rises.

Also I don't know what the answer to 11 is. I put b.

Altogether a nice paper. I did macroeconomic policy mix and unemployment for the essays.

I liked the paper, though I screwed up MC lol.

I also answered macro and unemployment

 

[Chronost]

Did exchange rate and unemployment. Fucked up time-management and only had like 27 minutes for unemployment. Last minute 5 minutes both the pens I had kept screwing on me and i kept having to scribble on paper to revive it. That basically stuffed me as I needed just a few more things for unemployment but didn't have a chance to write. Stupid pens running out. Used spare pencil for conclusion LOL, wonder if they count it still.

I liked my essays though! And the short answers were decent, except for CAD, had a mental blank kinda

I don't think I mentioned it...whoops. I talked about appreciation of dollar (impact on unemployment in tourism industry), GFC (cyclical unemployment causing lower Eco growth + lower productive capacity) then reduction in protection (increase in structural unemployment placing burden of govt due to welfare payments-->opportunity costs)

[heytherewhatsup]

I'm actually not sure if its important but my fds all did so I'm just scared they even did the graph!

 

[Randox]

Yeah I also talked about social issues with unemployment to mix things up a bit haha. Talked about cost to government and decreased growth with gfc. Should have probs done impact on inflation. Ran out of time anyway.

everything but MULTIES were sweet, MULTIES RAPED ME

 

[SGSII]

That exam was pretty good!
Loved loved that macro and unemployment question!
I found multiple choice to be difficult though :S

 

[thefiftethgate]

That was the most easy exam I have ever done! the exchange rate question - just beautiful, shorts - amazing, multis - beaut, Q28 alright but relatively easy to answer.

I'd imagine high 80's, I don't think Economics gets aligned to a mark that's much higher than your raw mark.

I reckon it was a fair test overall; multiple choice and short answer had a few difficult/weird questions and the essays were pretty standard

Ok I'm sorry but I don't understand how question 20 is D. Isn't a tariff a tax on imports? That would mean that imports exist in the economy simply due to the existence of the tariff right? Therefore, a reduction in tariffs results in a reeducation of revenue as tariffs are revenue based
