I feel like it’s really hard, I suspect getting around 50-60/100. Hoping the boundaries gonna low this year.

I think it went quite well too apart from that income elasticity question. The 25 markers were nice although I wish I could’ve used more application though. Section B was defo better than Section A.

For the absolute advantage one what diagram or numeric data did you need to use?

Oops I thought that was for comparative welp, I think you need two KAAs since it’s a 12 marker.

I sacrificed both 2nds 12 mark KAAs but hopefully it’s balanced out bc I had enough time for the 25 marker

Was doing well till I ran out of time and only managed to get a macro point in and not micro. I also forgot to put in judgement of each of my 25 markers😭 still evaluated each point tho. How many marks would I lose for a 25 marker if I don’t put a judgement in but evaluated all my points?
What grade boundaries you reckon this year will be overall for grades A and B?

for the absolute adv one i just drew a comparative absolute advantage grid with some numbers of machinery and flowers, for kenya and netherlands and just ran it through. I think you can draw the comparative + absolute diagram as well

The diagram can show both a comparative and absolute advantage. If you show that a country produces a good or service with fewer factors of production, you can use the comparative advantage PPF

I jizzed on the last 25 marker it was beautiful but sadly can't say the same for rest of that section. I mixed up absolute and comparative advantage and made up what the Lewis model is (said it was about reducing CA deficit in long run!!)
