Best way to learn entire course in a week?

reg:
So I went and did the '06 exam, was able to complete it pretty satisfactorily. Apart from oil prices, what could be some other likely economic issues to pop up on this years examination: cus' I haven't covered it in class/kept upto date myself :p.

melanie.dee:
drought.. effects of global economy ie especially china.. environment/climate change.. commodities boom.. ageing population.. capacity constraints we're facing..

brendan:
skills shortage, labour market reform (workchoices), income tax cuts,

Eriny:
I think growth in China is very likely to be asked about. But drought, climate change, CPI/monetary policy, the value of the dollar (look at the terms of trade and the TWI as well), the net income deficit/CAD, weakness in US sub-prime markets and interest rate differentials, and workchoices are all possibilities. This is by no means an exhaustive list either.

exactly what you said ... and your other post, outlining all the happenings in the economy, also it may be usefull to read through monetary policy statements given by the RBA .. especially those during the time the exam was written, which i believe was early year ? they give a good idea of what is going on, also somewhere in the 2006 vcaa report, they made mention to the fact that very little students knew what was currently the situation of the economy.

put simply the text book is useless =]
