Eco Exam

[adios]

Why are people asking for copies of the exam? Isn't it only the set amount of students sitting the exam (who have to hand it in) plus the teacher who get a copy?

Couldn't agree more though with the fact that the coffee question was a great one. I always do better at questions that I can actually comprehend occurring to me in day-to-day life.

What are people's prediction for the A+ cutoff? I think it will be around 79/90 at the highest 77/90 at the lowest.

I think it will be around 75/90. I found this paper much more difficult than the 2012 paper, and the cutoff there was 77.5/90 so I'd say just below that.

There are usually spare copies. Once the exam is done, they don't mind giving those copies out. I'm getting my old Eco teacher to email me through the answers. I'll hopefully write up a set of solutions over the weekend

I'm really surprised they asked a question on the two-speed economy. It meant you were essentially forced to give real life examples.

Wow, that's really high given all the feedback everyone has posted on this thread. Now I desperately want to see the exam

Questions were easy. Problem was time management.. there were heaps of 2 and 3 markers which were really 3 or 4 markers... i remember them giving some 2 mark questions with like 8 lines which was just crazy..

Spent 3 minutes a mark on first half of written, 1 minute a mark on second half. Lined space and timing were insane. Didn't even have time to breathe

Best question was the possible cause for the demand shift i mean you could say whatever you wanted.
personally said a recent health report stating that drinking coffee improves long term mental health lol

That was the case for me.

Oh, fair enough! Didn't realise that's how it worked. Would definitely like to see some ideas on solutions from a past Eco student

Everyone is worried about this 2 speed economy. I didnt have time to answer 3 questions, i looked at that one and said no way. Grats on even attempting it

Doubt it. Well I sure hope not.

Your school typically has a very strong eco cohort top end. How did they do?
