A2 OCR Economics F585 June 2016

Hi Guys! So I am retaking this exam this year to boost up my A level grade and finally go to university next year. I did not see a thread about this exam, I know its early but trust me.. ITS GOOD TO START EARLY.
So I've attached the link of the Stimulus material here :
http://www.ocr.org.uk/Images/251783-unit-f585-stimulus-material-june-2016.pdf

I think it's quite similar to what I did last year with some new terms and new parts to it. But revising here together will make things easier and we all can give out, ask and answer the predicted questions in exam manner.

Introduce yourself and lets build this! :tongue:

Retaking this as well...
Got an A in F583 but a D in F585.
What do you think to this year's spec?
Especially with globalisation at the start rather than the end.

Hey! Omg same. My F583 was a B. This one I got a C. I think first two extracts are the same but the last three are different, so I assume lots of new stuff to learn!
Just dropping in to say hi, bit early but you can never be too prepared :lol:
Thought I should liven up the group at this point but:
How far have you gone in terms of the topics so far? What've you learned? Any difficulties and whatnot or...?

Hello everyone,

I did the F585 exam last year, and I got a solid A in the exam. Just thought I'd drop a message and if anyone wants any help at all on the unit I am more than willing to help out in any way I can...

Drop me a private message or simply place a message on this page and I'll try my very best to reply :wink:

The price of those is for an institution, if you contact them directly you could get a discount as a private/single user

I think it is better than last year. Data is clear and easy to understand.

I think it varies from 10% to 20%. You may end up paying the figure displayed online since it is not including VAT.
Guys how's it going? Did anyone start breaking down the case study and expected questions etc?
