My tip to everyone is to really look at examiner reports in detail.. as they really not only give examples of answers helping you to self mark but provide you with tips on what things to link and examine in particular types of qs for the high range of marks..
Im so scared for this unit as grade boundaries seem very high like 63/72 for an a*.. Also time management is so hard but nothing compared to unit 4
Yea, the examiner reports are really very helpful But I don't get what you said next. Do you mean it is harder to manage time in unit 4 than unit 3?
how do i upload a pdf file here? - got great economic notes for unit 3- dont know how to put them up!
when you want to post a reply, scroll down to additional options then click 'manage attachements' it will then open up a seperate window where you can upload several documents/pdf files etc at once. Then click upload

Yh as Unit 3 u can finish multiple choice and then section B spend time on it, meanwhile Unit 4 its so hard to judge how many points ur actually making in an essay as they sometimes overlap then writing it down moving on to section B and then tacking all the long 16 amrkers its so tough i always have to just rush the last question in section B as dont have time because it takes me 1.15mins to finish section A

Yeah, I am having that problem as well in unit 4. But section A is supposed to be easier than section B because we have more choice in it and therefore write "faster"? So I am trying to answer section A in less than an hour, like close to 50 mins(1 mark per minute => 20 + 30), then move to sec B and have more time to tackle it
By the way are you doing both unit 3 and unit 4? What were your UMS for U1 and U2?

Yh that is a good strategy but I just waffle a lot on section A as the questions are ambigious so I try and give everything Yh as my school does all economics exams in the summer U 1:94 U2: 96 What was your U1 and U2 ums, also are u doing both unit 3 and 4 in june?

Haha I do that too. I try to write as much as I can in the beginning and then end up having less time for section B.
My school wants us to do ALL exams in the summer(all AS units in one summer and all A2 units in the next). So doing 4ALs is tough as exams fall on close dates and sometimes even on the same day

nice, so are u aiming for an A*?
Well it's a tough life..you seem to be managing time in unit 4 better than most people, so I don't think you will run out of time in the actual exam.
Well France Vs England is the day before! Revision cut by 90 minutes! haha. I reckon it'll be heavily based on LRAC and economies/diseconomies of scale.
I can't get my head around contestability.. :| I know the stuff but when I get an exam question in front of me, I'm even worse than a blank canvas. so scared for this exam! what do you guys think would come up?
I did this exam in January. It was the hardest exam I have ever sat, I'm resitting it. Game theory came up as one of the large questions at the end in data response so doubt it will come up as a large question again.
