i need help. micro is going to be the death of me.

please give me some cramming tips from your experiences by either having done this subject before or are doing it now[ie- doing some work aswell, unlike me]

any topic to know really well or some question that is *bound* to be in the exam. anything?!!

someone was saying plan an summary type essay based on the topics we have done?

as you can see i am lost up a river without a paddle or a life vest. please help.

Any other online resources available for 111 ?

hahah, i asked Ros the other day how to do well in the 125 exam

"sleep well, and drink lots of water"

that's my quote!!!

anyway, back when i did econ111
- i did about ALL the mc questions online... all 500 plus of them (that about gets you something decent out of 40)
- they really can't ask you "that" much, so run through the topics and think about what they could ask - a summary of just points you could write (I'll post some of the questions from last year's exam... sometime later this week, if I remember - the essays, not mc btw)
- if they have compulsory essay practise ALL of them (so that's another decent something out of 20)

and when in doubt, drink lots of water and sleep. =D

Are there ne past papers for 111? My friend checked ERIC the other day & they got jack....

EDIT: will wait for flyin' to post up last yrs Qs

 

[flyin']

It's pink paper, so I doubt it.

Edit - This is all I could find, I mustn't have jotted the other ones down..

1 - price elasticity of demand - pt and arc, and why might be diff.
- price elasticity in maximising profits
- determinants of price elasticity

4. oligopoly - circumstances of
- why uncertainty leads to difficulty in obtaining oliogopoly's demand curve
- use an example to show this

6 - public good from economic view, and those provided by govt
- pareto inefficient to exclude someone from a pure public good
- explain why provision of public goods and services need collective decision making

These must've been the ones I did last year. As you can see, there were 6 questions to chose from. Hmm.

ah yes, sleep and water. the water bit will be fine, dont know about the sleep. i can imagine myself going to the econ exam after an all nighter.

What was it that the lecturer said wouldn't be examined because we couldn't cover it a few weeks back?

I thought it was market failures but he's going through that in lectures this week so...? Is it Microeconomic policy or something?
