But being honest the mark schemes and examiners reports are the best resources - particularly helpful for evaluative points in 'discuss' questions and conclusions to the questions in Section B.
Make good notes from the textbook, know what the Examiners are looking for and getting 90+ is very achieveable.
I would say it's easier to get the marks in this paper than Global as if you put in the time to know the material in Transport you are much more likely do well as opposed to the more unpredictable Global paper. Bear in mind this is only what I think though.

Hope that helps and good luck.
In your opinion, how hard is global compared to Transport?

Personally I think it's quite a bit harder. With Transport you can learn the concepts and just repeat them in the exam where the case study is quite irrelevant. Global has harder concepts (in my opinion) and a harder structure to the exam - I found the 10 mark questions the hardest type of question across both exams. Also, as the exam is purely case study based it is naturally harder to prepare for Global than it is for Transport.
Again this is only my view - I'm sure other people would think differently.
The specification tells us we need to know the influences on firms revenues within the transport industries.- is this basically asking us for the determinants of demand but applied to transport?
Also has anyone got any tips on how to revise for this exam because theres quite alot of content and i'm having hard time organising what to revise first thanks

Our college hasn't started The global economy unit yet. will be starting after christmas hols. We started with the transport unit first
Was really surprised aha, My Sixth form has also done the same thing, finished transport, apparently Global had ALOT more content is sooo much harder, I'm actually bricking it lol

hey firstly well done! i have a question .. why is cba better than any other national road projects
Thank you. Being honest, I couldn't remember well enough to give you an answer that I'd want to give you as I wouldn't be happy with it. I will get back to you when I can consult the OCR textbook which I don't have on me. In the meantime, you can find information on tutor2u: http://tutor2u.net/economics/revision-notes/a2-micro-cost-benefit-analysis.html but I don't think it really answers your question.
Anybody have any tips on how to get 20/20 on the essays? I sometimes struggle in getting the level 3 marks Posted from TSR Mobile
Always try to think of a way you can argue against the view given in the question or show why it may not hold. For example, if it's taxes on reducing the number of flight taken you could talk about it being dependent on the size of the tax/inelastic PED/getting the right level of tax.
Also, in the conclusion, with your first sentence directly answer the question with your view, then give the main points why. Then, to get in to the higher marks, talk about short and long term consequences of the decision and how policy makers can influence the outcome and their significance.
I can't stress enough to look at the mark schemes for the long answer questions as examples of the higher level skills are given (especially for the conclusion) and you can learn them as part of your revision - the questions are similar each year.
Just quick question - not straightforwardly related to global economy, but - is anyone retaking As units? I am taking Economics both as and a2 (never studied it though before, it's my first and last year) so maybe you have some recommendations?

AS is much easier than A2, you can practically learn the past paper markschemes and put them in your exam answers where appropriate. The markschemes for any Economics unit are the best.
