if it's BoP I'm dead(Original post by Fas)
AD/AS definitions is heaaaaaveeeen - even better ones would be definitions for cost-push and demand-pull inflation hahaha
yeah same , definitely effectiveness of a demand-side policy - i find the supply-side would be slightly harder to write about and as you said exam pressure would get to me haha ! :d
that said , the two topics where an essay hasnt come up in a long time and hasn't come up at ALL - are unemployment and the balance of payments respectively . So chances are it's gonna be on one of those two , REALLY hoping to all gods that its not on BoP !!![]()

I don't think it will be on BoP as there hasn't been an 18 mark essay on it before, it might come up as a 6 or 8 marker. I think it might be based on 'expansionary fiscal policy always benefiting an economy' or 'what is more beneficial for growth fiscal or monetary?' -

I'd like that one tbh, sounds much better than a BoP one, you can talk about so much. I wouldn't mind a standard one either about economic growth, inflation, AD, AS, unemployment seems likely
an unemployment one would be really nice as in evaluation you can talk about the different types of unemployment - just another thing to lengthen and make your essay better -

I dunno but I'm feeling like this Monday's focus may be on the circular flow of income - The movement of income and spending around an economy.
It hasn't been a big part of the past papers. Also BoP may just come up too.
Propensity to Save and Spend hasn't come up either though I doubt you'll have to do calculations for it but maybe a definition.
Propensity to Save - The percentage of income that people are save
Propensity to Spend -The percentage of income that people are able to spend
But again I doubt it!
Also, have the definition of Privatisation ready too - The transfer of assets from the public to private sector.
And now that I think about it, they haven't given deregulation as a specific factor of supply-side policy to discuss or comment upon, so you may want to think about that. -

It highly likely that PROTECTIONISM will come up as an essay question or a 6-8 marker.

I've got an A in my recent mock exam from a D I jumped to an A. All I did was learn everything in the text book which was summarised in my book and do hell lot of past papers and that's it. Past papers are essential for economics! Knowing the content got me a C and past papers got me the A.

Hey Guys, everyone seems to be talking about unemployment and economic growth for the essay question.. is anyone kind enough to summarise this for me? I'm not sure how i'd get 18marks worth of stuff down. Thanks!

usually depends on the paper, but the threshold is around 56/60 for 100 UMS from what I've gathered. -

I believe jan 13 was 58/60 because for an A it was 48/60 and I got 50/60 which gave me 84ums
You could ask your teacher I guess, since mine know the threshold for 100 UMS for the different past papers somehow.
