ii) have not and need to learn
iii) random curve lines on graphs that touch each other in different positions :mad:

my exam is in ... 3 weeks! :eek:

Oh wow C4 already? We only just slightly finished C3

Illmatic, y u no post UCAS 2012 in sig?

Lol I'm sure you'll be fine! I plan to get cracking as soon as with W&L cos it seems tough :afraid:

Just realised that I have 40 past papers to do in around 22 days.... :bricks:


:eek: How is that possible?! I have around 20 but only 13 of them need doing in the next three weeks, I normally have bursts of motivation for past papers so will probably do 2 or 3 in one day and then none for a couple of days

Is no one doing F585?


I'm not good with all these codes, what science is that?
Original post by Brand New Eyes

Oh that makes more sense :P Oh those maths papers! You don't really need to do all 40 though! maybe just like 10 for each would suffice?

It's better to be over prepared than under prepared though. It just seems a lot because I didn't do that much over the holidays, which is entirely my fault.

I'm doing the Solomon papers for M1 on top of the standard past papers. For C3, I've done all the Solomon papers already, but I'm doing the Elmwood papers as well. It works out to about 2 papers a day up to my exams so it's doable :colone:

:eek: You have an impressive work ethic. :yes:
Extract B (lines 25-26) refers to macroeconomic stability as a ‘crucial ingredient for an
economy wanting to face global challenges successfully’.

Using the data and your economic knowledge, evaluate the contribution that macroeconomic
stability in the UK may make in facing the challenges posed by economies such as China.
(25 marks)

WTH ? I don't get it ? any ideas on how to approach this.
please help me :smile:

I went on about how government should ideally be able to use fical & monetary & supply-side policy to tackle the threat that China imposes when its service sector grows & outcompetes ours :/ But that's a really weak point in my opinion

It's not so much work ethic, more a case of the fear of failure (and being in a Chinese family) which drives me to do better :colondollar:

I haven't done econ 4 yet so not much help, but surely it's just asking you to evaluate how stability affects an economy's international competitiveness? You could also talk about the rapidly expanding consumer market in China and stability may be vital to ensure products can be exported to that market without too much fluctuation in price. Just guessing really.

What about developing countries increasing demand for commodities, such as oil, hence a threat of accelerating inflation with all of its costs -- and stabilisation policy aimed at taming it? Low inflation is also often considered a foundation for other macroeconomic objectives (though the deflationary bias can be irritating :smile:).
