yeah very long, but wasn't too difficult. Was the answer to the last multi income tax increases as proportion of GDP?

So many 6-mark questions! It was pretty long, but I finished with a few minutes to check over. The hardest question was the last 6-marker on slow productivity growth, for sure.

Very long, hand is still killing!
Think I screwed up a bit in multi choice because some questions were a lot harder than the past, but hopefully went ok on the rest..
