How did you guys go?

I think it was on the hard end. I left early cos I couldn't write anymore. The multiple choice questions were pretty tough.

Serious :o I found it so easy. Relative to last year it was so simple. I honestly was looking around for another piece of paper with another question >_>

But oh well, bad luck I guess for you. On the bright side no more eco! Well done VN :D

Compared to last year's the exam was a lot more difficult. The multiple choice questions took a lot more time meaning a reduced quality of writing in the short answers. I wasn't really a fan of the many questions about aggregate supply policies, relative prices and climate change. Shit units.

Yeah! I was disappointed that there weren't short answer questions on the value of the Aud and the recovery in china.  Damn! What did you guys get for the multiple choice questions? And anyone have a copy of the exam?

Can't remember for multi choice in total, but my first 3 were B,D,D.

What did you get for the one where it was like "Real GDP might understate living standards because?"

It was a lot easier in terms of time management, I had 30 minutes left (mind you this is my 5th subject and I did 4 hours study prior to the exam), and filled in all the lines  :P. IMO MC questions were pretty decent, very general short answer questions does anyone know what they got for MC?

Understate due to increase in leisure time, not pollution

i blanked out insanely bad at the first minute of the reading time. >:( i was going through the multi choice and found them tricky especially if youre not as familiar with the terms they used. the short answer was a bit vague too. i couldnt find much questions to show off on. overall, after suffering a short mind blank, the exam was alright.  :D

Dammmit! I didn't really get that question.  How about the bank loan one? Does anyone have a copy of the exam? I really don't remember much from it!
