China in Africa seems pretty relevant right now, so that might come up.
The 10 marker in paper 3 is a data response question. How do you get around 7-8 marks, how would you answer this type of question when using data? Who else is finding this one kinda hard

Same, our class did paper 3 for the first time last week. Still waiting for my marks but the teacher said it’s a area our whole class needs to focus on.

If anyone is good at using the data, how would you use the data in answering the bigger questions aswell (25marker)
What grade are you expecting? 😭😭😭 omg exams in 2 weeks 😂😂😂

I want at-least a B. Was going for an A but doesn’t look realistic. What’s your target
I’m wishing to get a B, but I would be more than happy to get a C lol 😂😂😂😂 a B grade would be amazing. The content is slowing leaving my head, i’m starting to forget some things 😂😂😂 I started on past papers and now my content has gotten weaker 😭😭😭

Are you doing past papers?

Our class has literally done nothing for paper 3. No practice or anything. I hope EconPlusDal can teach me enough for this paper
I don't actually think there is much to learn. It's just a combination of 1 and 2
Could be wrong

Past paper questions. I think the lowest average is for Q31.

What does everyone think might come up? I'm thinking SSP
i think if the section B is a micro. it might be on income inequality/poverty. dont think that came up before. but most likely it will be a macro topic

It'll be a topic where you can discuss both micro and macro, not just one of them
I don’t think you need to think of the topic but the question. 2018 question 32 was on development (macro) and q33 could be answered solely on macro issues as it was indicating the impact on OPEC countries. The wording of the question will give away whether or not macro and micro issues are relevant. I don’t think you can guess on the case study as it could be anything. Doesn’t really matter anyway as there is plenty of data and information provided. Just need to make sure your analysis is consistent with the information provided.
