Hey guys what big essay questions do you think could come up this Yr? I'm thinking market structures and market failure is guaranteed but I'm not sure what areas of these topics in particular to look at.

Privatisation/nationalisation not been tested since 2019, so chance that comes up this year perhaps
Yh true I've revised it a bit so wouldn't mind it tbf. Positive or negative externalities is likely to appear as well I feel as a 25 marker

Fr I use him for basically everything Econ. How ready are you for the exam?
my revision is going horribly I cant manage to remember everything properly enough to answer exam style since the only actual practice ive had is revising for one exam that has only had one or two topics :frown:

Did the "exam" (wasn't really a proper exam in that year) in 2021. I just know that he's the GOAT based on what I've heard others say about him.
It’s hard to predict questions for macro as anything can come up with the question. Worded differently
Focus on know the content to the best
How we doing for revision guys? Are we confident?

Some days confident some days not so much. Like it depends on the past paper questions, some are nice some aren't, and the context too. How many past papers have you done?

I've done quite a few 25 markers but I also like to just just plan.. I've done lots of these. For example I did a 25 marker plan on deregulation in case it comes up, I'm with u sometimes I'm confident other days not as much.

How are we structuring our 9 markers? Some people say 2 points, diagram, definitions and explanation with application. Others say 1 point.
