It's the hardest unit in my opinion. Dunno why i find it so difficult. Most people think Unit 6 is the hardest :eek:

the labour unit 5 one is so easy tho :biggrin:

But grr stupid oligopolies and regulation etc :mad:

Cheers Multiplexed :smile:

And you're right about the Unit 4...our Unit 5 is Development Economics, its on the brain as you might have noticed! We also did Industrial Economics as Unit 4. I quite enjoyed it, just done the exam for it in January.

It went well thanks, time was really tight though, had to dash through the essay bits with as few words as possible!

Hmm, what came up, good question! *thinks* Nothing particularly on regulation, both essay questions seemed to want price discrimination related answers. Market Structures cropped up a few times in the multiple choice.

I dont know if you been revising the graphs, like the monopoly graph with AR, AC, MR and MC...all that stuff? It came useful a few times, its quicker to get more marks by drawing graphs than writing huge essay answers.

It did seem like a test of time management than economics though!

Oh damn, price discrimination is the only thing i know, and if that came up in january it's not likely to come up much in summer! silly examiners. I really don't know any diagrams, i only know simple supply and demand diagrams for unit one and the labour market unit :eek:

i'm so screwed. ah well, there's still like 3 months to try to learn it :biggrin:

I'm really bad at time management in exams. Glad it went okay tho! xx

The graphs make sense with some solid revision, an hour before the exam!

Didn't you have the option to take the exam in January?

I'll get my results in March, so I can re-sit it if I wish in June.

Naa we didn't get the option. I was already taking 'too many' in january anyway, which i'm gonna have to resit again in summer! :eek:

Thank you

My insurance is Leeds- management and french, or french and management, cant remember which way round! oops. but that's only BBB :smile:

But if i don't get into Notts, i'll just...um...beg them for ages, and if that fails, i might be able to try to get in for just french or something, then take management modules xx

^ Ah... welcome! There's like a million of us now .

I'm applying to Raleigh (self-catered). I think it's the closest self-catering accomodation to the Jubilee Campus which is the main reason i'm choosing it.

You're so lucky to have gotten rid of A-Levels. :angry:

Are you guys all doing ecpnomics this year? I found that pretty hard last year, not leas cos one of our teachers was a crazy greek lady who made little sense at the best of times! :biggrin:

I was gonna go Raleigh Park too, it looked really nice, and my mates there and apparently its much better that St Peters even though its a wee bit older, not just the buildings, but its closer to campus etc. I only decided Jubilee at the last minute, cos i'm living in Germany for a few months as part of my gap year and its so much effort to live! cooking, cleaning, shopping etc!! so i figured if they'll cook for me in the first year its one less! although i was a bit worried aboutit being less sociable, as it was more like a hotel!
