    Hey all,

    I did section B myself.

    I found the multiple choice a lot more difficult than previous years, that said I still expect 18+ even though this is nowhere near I wanted. I wanted 23+ anywhom that was harder than I anticipated.

    For the 25 marker, (as the other questions where to easy to mention lol) I wrote about how fiscal policy should be used alongside interest rates to control inflation due to if you change one variable of interest rates then demand or supply will be effected both negatively and positively. I mentioned the same for fiscal policy which is why I can to an answer than both fiscal and monetary (interest rate) policy should be used to control inflation.

    Any thoughts?

    Hope all went well!

    Yeah I said a combination of monetary and fiscal should be used, I gave benefits and drawbacks to contraction fiscal policy but I didn't get time to evaluate monetary policy, spent way to much time going over the multi choice
