The 18 marker has always been on correcting market failure so they may have something different this year? So nervous! :K:

Also, how's F582 revision going?

Thats true but I honesty don't see what else it could be on? Market failure has the most substance.

I think I am more confident with F582 as there is so much more to write about as opposed to F581 which is basically all centered around supply and demand. For F582 i think i need to mainly nail how to measure employment and get my head around all the different organisations and surveys.
What about you??

The 18 marker might be on Tradeable Pollution Permits... hasn't come up before.

Lol I'm finding F582 more difficult especially learning all the Causes and Effects of BOP, Inflation, Unemployment, Growth

How many past papers have you done? are you planning on doing all of them?

16 DAYS LEFT!!!

Stressing out big big big time. My teacher has been waaaay over generous when marking our papers so i dont really have an exact idea of where i'm at with either exam :frown: Always feel like im just making everything up to fit my argument instead of actually knowing the effects of whatever im talking about!!!

2 WEEKS TO GO! Help/advise please please help

Hi Guys,
I have attached a few resources that I think will be helpful for you guys!
First is an A grade script
Second is a presentation that covers all the types of questions that come up in a F581 exam and states exactly how to answer them in a way that WILL GET YOU THE MARKS.
Finally I have attached some photographs of an 18 mark question that got full marks. This DOES NOT belong to me, I found it off TSR (really sorry cant remember the user)
EIGHT DAYSSSSSS



thats so helpful thanks, do you have any more grade A scripts by any chance?

The exam board is never going to directly ask you about tradeable pollution permits....

But the 18 marker may be revolved around evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of trade able permits and whether it's the best solution to solve market failure or something
Hey guys!!! I'm resitting both Economics exams and to put it simply... im screwed!!!
Yes, A2 has made it slightly more understandable but I have 7 other exams to revise for as well as these!!!!
Can anybody help on how to achieve level 4 on the essay? THANKS!!

Hmmm may you tell me why you sure of this?
Because since of the A Level reform, they may want to do something tricky.
Im just so scared D:

Though it has never been on but they may want to do something different?

As what I was told by my teacher, to get level 4 on the essay question, u should state the alternative method in yr essay and maybe briefly give the advantages and disadvantage to yr alternative method. :smile: hope it helps! Good luck everyone.
