It's hard to know. Earlier I predicted that the grade boundaries will be similar to those from Jan 2013 based on roughly how hard people think it was but it's about as accurate as a horoscope.

I'm not sure specifically, but my teacher has said either unemployment or inflation is likely to come up generally.

How's everyone prep and multiple choice going?
Good luck

You could have a go at the Econ 2 questions for the new specification that starts next year, there are only 20 but they're quite similar to current questions.
anyone have any ideas of what the 5,12 or 25 marker will be on ?

Yes it said such as monopolies, inequalities and negative externality.
however it said reference to extract c but I based it solely on the negative externality from extract b which was gambling.
