i'm feeling pretty confident, so as long as we get a nice essay question it should be ok, im praying for a nice govt intervention question on taxes or subsidies or something like that. but i think they should be quite kind to us seeing as it is the first year of the new spec. either that or the boundaries should be pretty low (fingers crossed)

There is a YouTube channel called EconDalPlus or something like that and he talks about exam techniques for econ you should all watch it its awesome
On the specimen paper for AQA AS Econ it says: "do NOT use pencil". Does this mean we have to use pen for the diagram question because I don't want to use pencil and end up losing 4 marks but with pen I will make a mistake and not be able to rub it out!

well my teacher said that you should use pen, but my assumption is that the specimen paper has been oversighted because in the AQA physics specimen paper a lot has been oversighted, there typos and incorrect answers in the mark scheme lol.
I have a feeling this is going to be really hard guys... AQA know we are retakes therefore I think they will give us hard questions :frown:

I feel like this is going to be a hard paper as they know we are all retakes :frown: but anyway my teacher predicted this:

Evaluate state provision to correct market failure in education (25 Marks)

Positive externalities are market failure as they are under-provided so not meeting the equilibrium amount of which is willing and able to be supplied and demanded
Negative externalities are over-provided so there's too much of it and it's above the equilibrium value...
I think anyway..

yes, my teacher attended the talk from the exam board last week/two weeks? and they said you HAVE to use pen, otherwise it doesn't get picked up by the scanner, so when it gets marked it'll just seem like an empty space.
Can someone please send me the adjusted edexcel economics papers!

I have the specimen papers already, just any other papers

Thank you.
