Hey guys, I wanted to make an official thread of the A2 F585 Economics exam in June.

For those of you without a case study, here is a link to it.

I've already started going through it; underlining key points and trying to get a feel of how the exam will be tailored to it.

So, let's start our discussion, post questions, ideas, exam tips and most importantly opinions about the case study.

I did F585 in Jan and the essays are always based on the last extract so your essays based on sustainable development

when the toolkit release is out, if anyone has it from their college, can they message me it or email me it? Please?

I find the same thing true. The last exam, our class predicted 100% that the essay would be on FDI. The end of the extract basically gifted it to us!

If it is on sustainable development, then I'll need to get cracking on revising that because that's a tricky one in my opinion.

Guys, one quick revision tip.

I'm going through each extract (including introduction) and highlighting key points with questions that could be given on them. I've literally wrote "why" or "how does this..." on some of the paragraphs so I can be prepared for any questions.

I'm making a case study guide, though my teacher will produce one anyway, that has key definitions from each extract, key points and expanded analysis. For example, the introduction talks about a single currency, so I've made a page saying what it is, the benefits for and against etc...

If anyone would like a final copy of that, let me know. Hopefully I can complete it latest by 3 weeks.

what aspect of sustainable development though? literally having to go through the studies myself because my college is awful

If nobody can get hold of a free copy of the toolkit from their college etc, would you guys be up for a 'whip round'? Its £50 but maybe will only be £2.50 or so each? Oh and how is everyone revising for sustainable development? At the moment I'm just creating a For and Against argument and I'm going to try to think up some evaluation for it but I find Economics is my hardest subject to revise for

no idea if this is the 'tool kit or not, but my school are getting some stuff from ocr saying about the case study ill put it up on here for everyone to get a copy of it asap it should be out in a few days
