lol that's exactly what I thought, only 100 pages, so would be easy, but the content of those pages looks solid!

COBA, cost benifit analysis are important so i guess you have to and also this might help - http://www.quia.com/files/quia/users/vsemmens10/QA_F584_Transport_Economics_2011.pdf

I can't contribute much to this thread at the moment as I haven't really started revising yet. I will start posting stuff nearer to the exam.

I think the reason why people find it so hard to grasp is that it hasn't been given the full mathematical treatment by any textbook. So the best thing you can do is to look up the curves online and read up on it.
