Guys for diagrams, do you do them really neatly or just rough to save time?

i’d say just make sure you just have all the key components (axes and curves completely labelled, equilibrium points, correct shape) so long as the examiner can see what it is you’re showing and you’ve referred to it in your answer it’s fine imo

If we use diagrams in our exams which may not be on the specification, but they are used correctly, would we get awarded/credited for them. Or would it be a waste of time to include them. (was thinking of a liquidity trap diagram for example which i dont think is on the spec).

You’ll be accredited! The monopsony labour market question in Paper 1 will have prompted a lot of monopsony labour market diagrams, which aren’t actually on the Edexcel spec.

Really hope financial markets isn't gonna be in Section B, but I'm thinking Edexcel might just do that and drop everyone into a pit.

Also thinking something relating to commodity prices might come up

Quite good there was a 10 marker on rationality which helped but otherwise it was good for time management and to be used as any other past paper

My worry is that the development stuff will all be saved for Paper 3 and linked to the suspiciously absent labour market from Paper 1… and then the Section B will be financial markets.

Maybe a big Section B on inflation? That would mostly be fine, until they do some terrible 15 marker on QE or something.

what kinda questions could come up on financial markets...

I have a feeling that might be paper 3 question like describe the micro and macro policies that might be used to correct financial market failures in the UK economy or something

if i drew a micro diagram (e.g. tax) would it get any credit or is it best to just leave it out?

You and I share the same topic fears. But inflation would be a blessing of a question.
Just want to point out labour markets did kind of turn up in Section A; the last 4 marker on public wage setting and monopsony power. It barely counts tho.
