Guys, from the top of my head, wasn't question 20 D? Because the $10 tariff was at equilibrium, hence a decrease to $5 would mean actual government revenue. Kinda forgot the question but need your feedback guys.

That was a good paper, mc definitely wordy, bit confusing, but overall it's the most confident I've been about my exams so far

How much do you guys reckon you have to write in order to get 16+ in the essays. I wrote 5 each, with tonnes of stats, moderate sized handwriting. Enough? Coulda and shoulda written a little more, especially for the unemployment one but whatevs. Mid to high 80's i'm hoping. Is that enough to get a 92 or maybe even 93?
Board of studies stipulates 800 words or approx 4 pages to get full marks. You can write more or less, it's really about establishing a coherent, insightful argument

So they don't count the words in everyone's paper but just assume that 4 page=800 words?

sweeet, mine was pretty coherent and full of relevant stats. both coulda been a little better i guess. So hopefully 17 each which would be made. Could get 90 raw :O

My teacher's a hsc marker and trust me these guys can get a really good estimate just by reading through. Again though my teacher always stressed that insightful analysis was always the key to the top band, not just endless stats and content.

Found MC hard - lots of trick questions and some were pretty vauge. Short answer questions were kinda stupid. Extended responses were easy and good! Did exchange rate and unemployment. Exchange rate only wrote into an extra booklet however unemployment i went into 2 extra. pretty content with the exam... minus mc

I accidentally wrote my second essay on spare booklets because I didn't realise the writing booklet they provided us had a section for us to do section 4 (aka the 2nd essay) in :( I labelled/wrote on it to inform my marker of my mistake so hopefully they realise.
Can someone please reassure me that the Board of studies will realise that my second essay was written in spare booklets instead?! :(

If you told the examiner I am sure you'll be fine.
