Aye I don't know what you guys are talking about AQA ECON 1 multiple choice was the best!

It was a mixture of 2015 and 2013 multiple choice. But didn't have time for the 25 marker :/ if I had time could have gotten 24/25 and this is coming from someone who got an E last year.


Did you do any of the 25 marker or none at all?

Multiple choice was ridiculously easy as it was a mixture of old papers so Im guessing high grade boundaries.


Do you remember any of your answers?
Original post by SANTR
Predictions on the grade boundary, paper is out of 70?


69% for a C

I found it hard tbh. Do you remember any of the questions and answers? What context did you do??
Hope you get the result you want.

Just realised that I left my bottle of flavoured water in the exam room. It was full as well. I wonder if it will still be there when I have an exam at 2.
Easiest exam ever, about 60% of the multiple choice were repeated, if you done the multiple choice from 2005 you would have nailed it

I liked the new spec exam, context A was nice and easy, with a simple market vs government 25 marker, and the 10 marker on perfect competition, liked it overall. What did you guys get for the maths question in context A btw I got 1751 homeless people or around there.

Which one of the four did you select for the question about monopoly and something along the lines of 4000 units produced etc?
Also, for the costs of production one as in the market output is OX, what should the firm do?

400,000 units produced was C as A and B showed diseconomies of scale and D showed the same average cost all the way through, C was the only one who went down after the 50000 mark. I cant seem to remember the costs of production one though.

Was that the one where you had a choice of four curves. D was just a straight line. I put C. Can't really remember anything else. If you know what question im talking about, what did you put?
