Thats cool - those questions are tonnes easier than the ones we get in the exams...
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

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.

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?
