How did you go?

Easy? Hard?

Points of confusion? Tricky questions?

Overall thoughts?

Very long... I had to rush through the MC at the end. But wasn't as difficult as I expected. Some questions were actually really straightforward.

Was that the Q about the TWI and supply of AUD? What was the answer?

Supply decreases, TWI increases.

I did supply increases, TWI increases.

Yeah i'd have to agree that question was probably the most difficult of the MC. Sooo much emphasis on budgetary policy throughout the written response though, i guess it was anticipated...

Pretty good overall Zailiner.

The multi choice was pretty easy in my honest opinion, you could see where they were trying to trick you.

The transmission mechanisms may have been the thing that got me though

All in all, fairly straight forward. I still can't believe that two years of economics was just finished in two hours.

good luck with your bio exam tomorrow and that 97 atar!

Yeah i'd hope to get something around there as well. I've got to say though, my favourite question from that would've had to been the one where you had to pick an industry affected by the economic slowdown or something. Glad my written exams have come to an end...time to focus on my math subjects..

My entire class said MC 13 was the most difficult, I also found the exam quite long and did not finish, had no time to complete a 2 marker but can't remember the spasific question.
