Hi guys, whats your bets on topics/ essay questions for unit 1 exam?

not a good idea to look at predictions. Any topic could be tested just need to learn how to approach different questions in Micro and Macro. I don't think it would be different from past papers from the old spec

Do we need to know analysis of particular markets e.g. commodity markets? Its in the textbook but my teacher has never referenced it and no one else seems to know? Thank you :smile:

My teacher hasn't mentioned anything like that, so I suppose not. It might be worth checking on the specification though :smile:

I am pretty sure for this unit it is demand and supply diagram and I think the externality diagram, at least that is what my teacher told me to learn.

More than that. PPF, economies of scale, diseconomies of scale.... The sample assessment material had a question requiring a bar chart.
