Re: OCR AS Economics F582 May 2012I got 88, but a lot of people did not do as well as they'd hoped/expected.. I don't have a clue what the question will be as I haven't looked at any past papers. My guess, though, is that it will link into a policy mentioned in the budget.(Original post by JASApplications)
I'm taking this exam! What did everyone get for F581? I got 84/100 so just over an A so hoping for a higher A in this one!
What do people predict will be the question for the 18 marker in this exam? -
Re: OCR AS Economics F582 May 2012The recent budget? My teacher said these papers were written ages ago, like 1-2 years in advance so I doubt it.(Original post by Junaid96)

Re: OCR AS Economics F582 May 2012No, I'm sitting F581 and F582 next month. I asked my teacher if I could have a look at both January papers so I see what is likely to come up and what isn't.(Original post by nm786)
have you done this exam?
Apologies for not doing the scan, I didn't see your reply last time. From the post you just quoted me in though, you should be able to get the idea of what was in the paper and run a mock from that(?) -
Re: OCR AS Economics F582 May 2012Good point. In that case they might have something to do with suggesting policies to combat the UK recession (i.e. what would your budget be like?)(Original post by Part A)

Re: OCR AS Economics F582 May 2012Remember the essay questions in the paper have to be accessible to candidates ranging from E-grade level to A-grade.(Original post by Junaid96)
Good point. In that case they might have something to do with suggesting policies to combat the UK recession (i.e. what would your budget be like?)
If a question were posed that was encouraging some sort of link to recessions, relating to the use of fiscal policy in the past it has been more like the following:
Discuss the effectiveness of fiscal policy measures to encourage growth in aggregate demand.
IMO. -
Re: OCR AS Economics F582 May 2012i asked my teacher and he said he doesn't have the papers?(Original post by dslc)
