Economics unit 2 edexcel on Monday 23d 2016 new spec. I have one short question......

I did the unit 1 exam today and it went horrible. I was wondering if anyone knew if unit 2 is going to be as hard and what do you think are the topics which could come up even though i know its like almost impossible to guess because it is the new spec.
Lol nobody knows how hard its gonna be m8, but considering the absolute f*ckery that was theme 1, dont expect a walk in the park

yhh the 15 marker really confused me, and for the calculation (the 4 marker)
i put 2 answers is this allowed because in maths it is but this is eco and i dont know if i will get the marks
I really hope unit 2 isn't that bad, I spent so long on unit 1 I feel really under prepared for unit 2

If you did the method correctly you'd get some marks for the methods but you'd definitely lose a mark because your supposed to give only 1 answer, in maths 2 answers are only allowed when dealing with quadratics, inequalities, simultaneous equations etc this is different

My teacher didn't really go through the Great Depression much, told us to to do it ourselves. I know there was a large fiscal stimulus package but that's about it, any brief pointers?

Trade unions can cause the labour work force to collectively get together and go on strike for example and demand higher wages, there increase the costs for firms pushing AS to the right, by finding policies to reduce the power of trade unions it will not allow the labour work force to do this, and increase effeicney for firms
