Re: Edexcel Economics Unit 4: 20th June 2012Oh thanks for ur help was worried so much about the structure.. But from what u told me I can atleast relax a little.. Yh I tried to expand but with economics u never know if uve done enough because of the way it is marked.. Yh hopefully.. How did u do? And what grade are u aiming for?(Original post by ss13)
hey mate. all looks pretty solid points wise. and the structure for the second essay seems similar to most people did. in a nutshell they did 2 for debt relief 2 against; 2 for trade liberalisation, 1 against. or vice versa. now it just comes down to how much you explained and wrote for it all but the basis all seems there to be getting really good marks

Here is the paper for anyone interested. June 2012 Edexcel Economics Unit 4
Without the time pressure of the exam, I thought I might have a bit more of an idea of how to answer 'To what extent is inequality an essential ingredient of capitalism?'
But nope! I still don't have a clue at all of how even start answering it!

Re: Edexcel Economics Unit 4: 20th June 2012Don't worry, the examiners tend to go easy on marking the papers of people who do the harder questions(Original post by Charlesworth)
Thanks for that!

Re: Edexcel Economics Unit 4: 20th June 2012I didn't do that question thankfully, I did the second one on the euro. I just remember thinking on the exam how the hell do you answer that when deciding what case study to do.(Original post by ezioaudi77)

Re: Edexcel Economics Unit 4: 20th June 2012Neither do I, its such a strange question to ask. I wouldn't know whether to say that question is open or closed it's so odd! I'd love someone to reveal how to get full marks on that!(Original post by Charlesworth)

Re: Edexcel Economics Unit 4: 20th June 2012Well at least you managed to get over half of the questions done in the case study - not bad considering you only had 30 minutes!(Original post by ezioaudi77)
Yeah I did the one on euro as well, I thought you said you did the one about equality.
Anyway, I did manage to attempt all questions except the 8 marker and 10 marker
I know! Hopefully someone will post or we will just have to wait until August time(Original post by Whitechapel)

Re: Edexcel Economics Unit 4: 20th June 2012Yeah, Also did it(Original post by bin94)
Did you also do this exam? How do you think you did?
I thought I did well... But in hindsight I'm not entirely sure to be honest - Think I may have missed out on marks by waffling or just putting down plain wrong ideas/answers. Having said that, the grade boundaries do seem to be rather low(ish) so hopefully they're forgiving :P
How'd you think you did? -
