we all probably got variations so I'mnot going to bother to discuss the material.

But overall, multiple choice was good. Short answers was terrific. Essay 1 was awesome, essay 2 was ok.

pretty gay exam not that hard though didnt really study much so didnt go that well hoping for 70%

 

[runnable]

Good. Came first.

The exam was relatively decent, considering that my preparation and revision wasn't all that good. I found some of the questions in the multiple choice a bit difficult (I always do bad in multiple choices *sigh*). The topics I was hoping for were in the short answers, apart from one... and the extended response questions was alright, although I was running out of things to write for the final essay. Overall, I'm just hoping I can maintain my current rank... ><

I didn't mind my trials.
extended response were EASY!
short answer was tricky.
Oh and can someone maybe explain to me the point of the simple multiplier? Like..what's the point of having one? What does it indicate? Thnx if anyone can help

It indicates that initial investment has a multiplied effect on national income.....

 

[haruhis2kyon]

what essay questions did you guys get? or chose to answer neway. test was ok for me.

For the extended responses, I selected the one dealing with reducing inflation and the World Trade Organization's impacts on the global world... something along those lines.

I chose the one on exchange rates, that one was awesome. Are we doing the same exam? Sounds like it.

Just read an article on Exchange rates from the Economist the day before the trials, so i could quote it easily.

definately wingable lol

didnt really need to study for those short answers lol.. which is good... coz i hardly studied... fukn maths 2u on the same day lol what were CSSA thinking??

 

[Poad]

How'd y'all go?

I got 86, pretty pleased considering I had Ext 2 Maths on the same day and only studied the two days before. >_>

 

[Advv]

Lol I got 76.5 That should put me in top 10. It was okay.

 

[lionking1191]

how many people do the same trial papers every yr? there's like a billion of them, ie. CSSA, independent...etc

 

[tau281290]

I got 74 or 76. I thought I did very bad at first, but considering that the highest is only 82, that's alright. My school keeps our trial mark very low to scare us into studying harder for the final HSC. =.=

 

[veloc1ty]

I haven't got the result but I did the test yesterday and am not looking forward to the result (not that it will be terrible, just poor ranks wise).

Edit: not CSSA paper...

 

[uwshm8]

85.5% lol came 2nd...... multiples screwed me over 11/20... how disappointing!!

 

[conics2008]

lol u guys doing good.. at my school eco exams are a pain..

we havn't got our results back.. wont get them till the end of the term lol...

[haydezats]

I got 78% for CSSA. I dont get why some schools get half marks, it dont happen in the HSC(NOT MINE).....

 

[tau281290]

85.5% lol came 2nd...... multiples screwed me over 11/20... how disappointing!!
