2012 VCAA Economics Exam - How was it?

[sam.utute]

got 15/15 multiple choice with teacher yes its the proportion and the inflation was import one im pretty sure and i did gdp per capita for alternative to gdp because i forgot them so probly get 0/4 for that but good for rest ;(

Looking at a high-40s score! Well done!

Just FYI, 88.5/90 will get you a Premier's Award. 87-88/90 usually equates to a 50.

I got the exam off my teacher today so what's the easiest way to put it up for you to look at sam?
Do you have a copy of the exam or do you need it still?

Questions were easy but very repetitive. I found myself having to repeat so many definitions (especially for the living standards questions).

Multiple choice was easy, especially when compared with the commercial papers. All the questions were theoretical, which was highly disappointing as I expected VCAA to actually test our ability to apply the theories that we've learnt to answer more practical questions.

The hardest question on the exam was probably the last one, but VCAA pretty much directed us to the answer when it asked us to distinguish between "production" and "productivity" for the first part of that question.

Overall, I think the cut-off for A+ will be higher this year.

stoniben emailed me the MC questions

They very quite straightforward - I'm expecting  about 50%+ of students getting the correct answer for each question.

I'll upload some explanations and the suggested answers in about 15 minutes.
I'm really hoping the short answer questions were super-hard so it's easier to between students.

They weren't, though if you didn't have knowledge of what living standards were, you would've been screwed.
