It really is, OCR also gave me an essay question on exchange rates, I thought I handled it well but my structure was poor (flipping notepad). I'm hoping for above 80 but preferably 90, don't want economics dragging down my avg

i ****ed that essay up horrifically bad ! the only correct evaluative point i made was about the size of the exchange rate , didn't talk about exchange rates in other countries , other factors of AD/AS etc NOTHING
looks like im sorted clearly for that exam hahahaha
not even that , in OCR you get all those 6 markers and 8 markers and you assume you should pick up all the marks for that question as you gave the correct number of points , but if an examiner knocks off 1-2 off 3 of those style questions , then youve practically lost a grade
doesn't take much to lose 10 UMS in OCR Economics hahaha ( I'm so screwed )

That's not too bad, 1 evaluative point usually gets you 14 marks. I got the evaluation down I just need to see if the examiner is paitent enough to read a massive block of text, I did also go on a bit of tangent about the multiplier effect (perhaps a bit too much).
Ahah I flopped the China/Japan calculation question by getting my millions and billions wrong (lolol) and also that 6 marker about the most important macro objective I had no idea what to put so I just put down as many ideas as possible.
I'll probably ask for a remark again if it's a B because last time it went up by 8 entire ums points

Looks like you did OCR Econ?
If so, how'd you find the micro paper? Thought that was hands down my hardest paper this year.
I'm looking at a C grade, which is great for someone looking to apply for Economics.

Don't suppose you also write a bit on the evaluation questions? I went crazy writing 6 points of evaluation which seriously unbalanced the essay. A friend of mine then said, unbalancing causes you to lose marks.

Same goes for AQA economics - if you mess up the minor calculation question that they give you at the beginning of each exam then that can be half a grade. It's crazy.
ahh we did Gatsby and Kite runner, yeah I guess I'm just scared cos I ran out of time so hardly wrote anything for the books, but there was more marks for the poetry side which I think went better so do you reckon that'll make up for it?Think we might do Wuthering heights and Faustus at a2 & thank you!! So nervous
Yeah definitely! You'll be surprised by how low the grade boundaries are, there's probably nothing to worry about! I HATED Wuthering Heights, I couldn't bring myself to read past chapter 7 because it was so dull! (So OBVIOUSLY in the exam I answered the Wuthering Heights question, what an idiot!)Faustus is easy though, it's not very long and there's only a few key themes etc throughout so there isn't much they can ask A lot of my class didn't like Faustus cause the speech etc is a bit confusing for people who aren't used to it, but you soon pick it up! And there's some quotes in there that I love! ("Had I as many souls as there be stars, I'd give them all for Mephistopheles", HOW CUTE?!) I'm nervous too! Just think, there's nothing we can do about it now so it's better just to distract yourself as much as you can
