WJEC EC3 and EC4 A2 Economics June 2014 exam

Not feeling great about it because i can't get my head around all the diagrams and evaluations.

How would you split up timing for the EC3 and EC4 papers. As in for EC4, is it better to spend an hour and a half on the data response then half an hour on the essays?

Regarding development, all you will probably need to know is protectionism (eg sunrise firms, quotas) , reasons they need developing (eg lack of skills, lack of capital, debt), benefits/methods to develops (eg strategic industries, benefits of multinationals) and the the negatives of developing methods (eg if given aid having to pay it back, multinationals shutting up shop and moving). An essay on development has come up every year since the new syllabus was introduced.

Not recommending question spotting but Perfect competition was last year, oligopoly the year before that and then monopoly before that so monopoly could be due if a pattern is kept which the examiner is prone to. Economic growth should also come up as an essay regarding him keeping to patterns.

- Intro (Definitions, brief explanation)
- Arguments for (3-4)
- Arguments against (3-4)
- Synoptic conclusion (Easiest way is to bring in 4 aims of government)

On EC3 I can pretty much guarantee there'll be a market structures essay (My money's on monopoly) and with EC4 there's been a development question every year since the new syllabus which I can only expect to continue.

for the last essay question i did the second one about market concentration ratio but only wrote about monopoly instead of oligopoly, do you still think i'll get a decent mark? I thought monopoly had a 100% market concentration ratio
