Don't worry. I was just trying to work out what may come up in the synoptic. Any major topic issues they have not yet covered?

I find that in previous years paper 3 tends to be macro heavy though

I felt the same, I think grade boundaries this year will be a little lower than usual as many from my college found it difficult. Lets hope paper 2 and 3 are a bit nicer

I would think in the exact same way, although it is possible the spread of marks will be greater since there are fewer entries meaning more people have very high or very low marks? Only a guess though.
