Guys does anyone know if we're supposed to understand MRP in labour markets? The specfification doesn't mention it but it's featured in the textbook, as well as tutor2u resources/econplusdal etc
help???? (its not an easy concept so idk whether i should dedicate time trying to understand it or just move on bc im rly behind with notes aha)

thanks!

Everything that's on the specification is what you'll be tested on. I'd probably make sure with your teacher actually, but it might be good to have knowledge of it.

Hey, I used section A from all past papers, they were helpful so were some of the IAL past papers for economics especially for unit 2 since the new paper had multiple choice unlike the old one. For section B I got my hand on some adjusted papers, that is past papers from the old spec updated with the new marking structure. It won't Make that much of a difference if you follow the old marking structure tho, if you PM your email I can get those papers across

Hi is it still possible that you can still send me this?

It's best to use the extracts/question as much as possible in the shorter questions but you still get marks if you use real life examples (just a risk of less marks because your example might be a bit far-fetched)
