Its really hard but try and relate it to the case study and explain it well.

Explain why this choice is the best FIR THE PERSON IN THE CASE STUDY. What might this entail in the short term. And in the long term more importantly. Why ultimately does this beat the other option -- I.e. Perhaps say why the other option may be better, but the chosen judgement is certainly better because ....

I've always struggled with answering the 12 markers, and I know how important they are.
Does anyone have a certain way/structure of answering them? Because rambling can never a way to secure a GCSE in Economics haha.

1) For the Introduction, start off with a decision wether you agree/disagree with the options for the question, write just 1 sentence.
2) The main body of the answer should be normally 3 paragraphs 2 points supporting your argument and 1 against. Always show the other side of the argument.
3) For the conclusion, write your decision again with a point and explain why that specific point is the most important, try and make it just short of a paragraph. (There is 6 marks for conclusions).

Hope this helped

There's usually an additional space page(s) at the back. Just do it on those pages and you should be OK :smile:

What would you say the most important things to remember are for this exam?
Also my teacher always said to evaluate throughout the longer answer questions - how would I do this?
That was a pretty good exam.
I'm not sure how to feel??? Some parts were amazing and others were a bit annoying. I feel like I messed up those questions on the budgeting and the price of second hand cars!! :/ Completely forgot to bring up the violin in the 12 marker too.. :/ apart from that, the rest were quite decent I think.

I am so happy with that exam:biggrin:, i thought it was really easy because it was pretty similar to other past paper questions and there was 30 marks on Unit 1 which is the easiest unit.

How did everyone else find it though?
okay but my last 12 marker was so bad and some of my 6 answers were weak i

That was a decent exam tbh i got a c in my mock my teacher's useless anyways been getting D's and E's in all our tests and practice 12 markers if l get an A imma laugh at the guy
P sure I messed up that exam 😭

Hmmm.... I am, too, unsure about how it went! With Economics Unit 11, you'll supposedly find every question okay; it's just the MARKING which drops you xD
