General Thoughts: Economics (1 Viewer)

[coz707]

Overall, I found that exam tough.

Multiple Choice - I just checked the paper and I'm fairly sure I got 18. Which is decent. I misunderstood what "implementation" meant so that annoyed me. But pretty standard questions IMO.

Short Answers - I found these especially hard. The deficit financing was especially difficult, I'd be happy if I got above 34 in that.

Essay 1 - I did Economic Growth. I got 7 pages out by splitting it up into Service, Manufacturing and Mining. Hopefully the markers liked my comments regarding end of mining boom. Hopefully 17

Essay 2 - I did external stability. It was pretty weird because I said the RBA could do this, that and this but then at the end I said "but they haven't done this recently because it's not one of the goals" Hopefully 17

Tough exam, if I can get 85+ I'd be happy. And seeing as a lot found it hard (or at least harder than last year), I should manage a Band 6 with alignment.

Was the case study only asked in that environmental sustainability 3 marker?

Why isn't question 10 in Multiple Choice "D" ?
If the TOT worsens doesn't our International competiveness worsen too?

No international competitiveness worsens because the of the increase in TWI or appreciation in the currency.

But an TOT which has worsened will lead to an depreciation of the AUD. And that will increase International Competitiveness.

I think so.

I just used China as an example in that one question and that was it.

 

[RecklessRick]

How many pages were your responses?

17 on q25, 16 on q28

Was very happy, some interesting questions in there.

Yep only 3 marks. China's by far the easiest case study to use for that question.

tfw accidentally analysed the literary techniques of the section 3 quote.

Incidentally, how come it wasn't attributed to anyone? It just had a date on my paper.
