Wow... you all found it easy?

Damn, I like economics and I found it to be hard at some parts (maybe cause i dont study enough... meh)

I found multiple choice to be fairly easy. Short answers are a mixed bag, some tough cookies, some easy ones (to me the 5 markers were quite easy)

Question 28 was awesome, hopefully I can do great in that... Wrote 7.5 pages.

Question 26 I left till last, not hard... but I wasn't as confident with that as I was with the Monetary Policy Question.


Overall a decent paper. Was hoping for 80s, though I reckon I'll probably just miss out with high 70s.

Happy overall

Was not expecting a question on another economy in SA but Im pretty sure I bullshitted well enough to get 2/2 and 4/4 or at least 2/2 and 3/4.

Essays were awesome. I did the exact same questions I did in my trial (exchange rates and fiscal) =]

I wrote 17 pages for exchange rates, 20 for fiscal, although my writting gets really big and messy so I fit like 5-6 words per line =]

how can question 1 (MC) be A - low levels of income inequality? coz it asks for charactistic of a DEVELOPING economy. shouldnt it be D - high dependance on agricultural production?

Question 12 (MC): i got D. what did every1 else get?

overall paper was good. except the short answer on globalisation ARRGGGGGHHHHH!
