it's alright though, just make sure you apply with examples especially in MCQs

Ahh same here, I'm planning on doing section B first just so the hard bit is out of the way. I like to used this acronym TIMEDH for eval which stands for
Time lag- short run or long run
Importance- which point is the most important and why
Magnitude- e.g. is the tax = negative externality
Elasticity
Depends on
However- contrasting point/belief
Wait, are there 20 markers in the retakes. I thought that was the new spec not the retake one

No 20 markers in retakes

A PPF curve


Yeah that was D bc the more capital goods you produce, the higher the economic growth. The more consumer goods you produce, the higher the standard of living.

Ah thank you, thats what I put! Overall, I found the short questions fine and some of the longer ones were ok but time was a huge issue for me, I ended up doing the last 14 marker in the last 10 mins... I just hope I got everything down!
