lool you dont know what you are on about. Please stop trying to be an ***hole to people. You DO NOT need to talk about both AS and AD in the 10 marker.

Diagram of AD shifting left (4 marks)
2 definitions (2 marks)
Imports become cheaper and exports becomes expensive (2 marks)
Components of AD, exports > imports therefore AD decreases (2 marks)
Lower price level, inflation decreases. (2 marks) (making reference to the diagram)
Use a quote (application) (2 marks)

Unfortunately, I don't think they award 2 marks for definitions for the new spec.

It was around 58 last year and I believe this exam was much easier so me and my teacher reckon it's around 61/62 for an A in unit 2 and 63 in unit 1.

61/62 out of 70 is 88%, it can never be 88% raw marks for 80 ums.
In fact, 88% raw marks last year i.e. 66/75 would have gotten you 94 ums..
Therefore, 56/57 out of 70 is likely to be an A.
62/63 most likely 88-92 ums

It's out of 70, last year was out of 75. So an A will probably be in the region of 52-54.

What did everyone get for the MPC question about trend rate compared with annual economic growth? I was unsure but went A (which was in 2013 there was an increase in spare capacity).

I'd probs say it's around 54,its percentage is 77% same as last year for an A but then again it depends on the difficulty of the paper across the country.

Yeah exactly. I reckon 53 bog standard A, but could got probably 2 marks either way depending on the difficulty of the paper across the country.

Yeah me. But I'm so annoyed. I thought 400.6 thousand was 4006000

I made the same mistake!! I got something stupid like 6.42%. Do you think I will get any marks for attempting or will I just get none? :frown:

I did context 2 and I thought 400.6 thousand meant 4006000 so I got the calculation answer wrong but showed my working. I also wrote down the figures in the comparison question with one too many 0s. Will I get any marks for either question?
