General Thoughts: Economics (4 Viewers)

[rowcache]

What were your thoughts on the Exam?

I thought is was easyish, multiple choice was easy, the international mobility of labour and the stimulus based response threw me a bit.

Interested to see what the cut off are for it.

International labour mobility was a little dodgy, the extended responses were quite good and not unexpected - economic growth and external stability. Anyone have an idea as to what they think the B6 cutoff will be?

not gonna lie the short answers were quite unconventional and MC was pretty difficult imo. Fuck me dead the 90+ raw dream is over

 

[mreditor16]

Anyone able to post the paper? Interested to take a look.

I hated the essay questions, I was hoping they would be better

Short answer and MC were extremely easy. I finished with 2 hours left for the extended response. The only thing I fucked up was the final extended response for 27/28. Fucking only wrote 3 pages. FML Acually, both extended responses were hard as fuck. I did 25 that was mediocre. I wrote 7 pages for that but I knew I could have done better. I was in rush mode. 27 and 28. I knew jack shit about both. Ffssss throughout all my eco years, it's the extended response that ass fucks me. fuck uuuu. I also didn't have time to draw graphs. ffsssss. fking hell.

I admit MC and short answer were harder this year, but i didn't give a fuck because if you studied, it was fucking easy.

I agree with the short answer part. Drew on lots of aspects of the syllabus I feel. Probably one of the hardest economics papers I've seen, if only because of how abstract it was.

yahhhh one of the hardest i've done/seen, and i've done a lot of past papers

I thought the paper was harder than previous years. The mc was more difficult, especially how most questions had two answers that were correct but one was more correct.

Edit: I knew case study was going to be asked as short answer, but was hoping it to be about eco development though

 

[Evertone]

I was expecting worse.

 

[malcolm21]

multiple choice was literally the bane of my existence

 

[attackallaround]

mc hard, essays hard, short answer easy

 

[aanthnnyyy]

Both short answers and multiple choice threw me off a bit. Pretty unconventional and difficult compared to the past .... Essay questions weren't as I had hoped. Hoping band 6 cutoff will save me

 

[Ekman]

Kinda disappointed they didnt ask about depreciation or cad directly, rather just asking how the macro policy mix can achieve economic stability

 

[Ekman]

I talked to my teacher about band cut offs, apparently the band 5 cut off should be much lower this year and the band 6 cut off should be lower by like 1 or 2 marks

How much do you reckon for 85?

 

[malcolm21]

For the multiple choice question regarding national income and saving, with the increase by $1000 for Year 4, what was the answer? ://

was that the one where mps is 0.2, therefore multiplier is 5, so you need a 200 investment to get that 1000 increase

 

[frunobulax]

Correct. 1/MPS =1.0/0.2 = 5. Multiplier (k) is 5 so Investment of 200 yields a 5 fold increase = 1,000 increase in Income

mc was aiight, short answers was fairly difficult. essay questions doe... fuarrk.. i ddidnt write enough.. 4-5pages for both

 

[sy37]

I found the short answers easy, finished them + multiple choice in bit over one hour. Multiple choice was quite perplexing.

Expecting 14/20, 35/40 minimum for section II, and around 50-60% for the essays (or maybe more / less I have no idea how econ essays work I just dump everything I know )

Hoping for a band 5...

*edit* got 17/20 in MC, potentially 19 but forgot what I put for two questions
