Right, so obviously knowing the content is essential. There is also a specimen paper on the AQA website (in case you haven't already seen it). Basically all I can really suggest is that knowing the content inside-out is an absolute must. If you know it, you'll be fine.

This has reminded me that I have a mock on paper 3 on wednesday which I'm not ready for.

There's a practise paper in my textbook and multiple choice that I will use.

You can also try to make a list of micro and macro consequences for specific units, I think things like the Labour market and globalisation have a lot of cross-cutting themes
Does anyone have a list of 15/25 mark macro and micro essay titles?

Lol same I just keep pushing off the notes. The only questions are done are from mocks and essay questions that were homework. I've still got to finish the Labour market and the financial bit as well as rewriting a tonne of notes. But don't worry it's not too late,in fact it's best to past papers nearer to the end when you have learnt everything :h:

I picked a few questions; if everyone tries to answer them we can collate it eventually into a model answer! And ill do this every few days I think (unless you don't like this idea xD)

Explain how both the Bank of England and privately owned banks create money / credit (9m) (aqa textbook)

To what extent if all should developed countries such as the UK be concerned about a significant strengthening of the economic importance of MENA countries (Middle Eastern and North African) in the global economy? June 2013 unit 4 q3 (25 Marks) (it's a data response but you can always do your own research :wink: and no peeking at the ms!)

I thought these are probably two units that noone likes :colondollar: answer away and dont be afraid even if you think you are wrong.

I'll probably attempt answering them tomorrow night, I need to revise for a mock tomorrow.
