unit 2 was really good, unit 1 was kinda weird and the 8 markers were sort of repetitive
What did people put for the 8 marker on 'Product Markets'??
Unit 2 was a lot better than 1

i just treated it as a normal market in the service sector, discussed competitiveness and markets with many buyers pretty much

I definitely failed after than product market question. I had no idea what it meant so made up an answer based on the thought that it's a market where only finished goods are sold, not services. So I lost 8 marks for sure. I also didnt finish the 8 marker about reducing income tax in paper 1 so I'm just done. There goes my dream of doing economics in University :colonhash: Also, I found Unit 1 better than Unit 2 tbh.

Poor communication, lack of communication, loss of coordination.

Micro (which is supposed to be unit 1, not the second exam) was awful, why was 'product markets' there? Never heard of it, no one seemed to have, but I still guessed it as a kind of market with competitiveness. Last 8 marker was also kinda confusing.

Nice, lol my supply curve was from the bottom left corner to the top right corner and curved, the second one was very similar but was at a slightly lower gradient, starting at 0,0 also and finishing slightly below the end of the other one.

i could've sworn it should have been perfectly in elastic because quantity supplied went up when the price did

Yeah, they both went up lol but quantity went up by a slightly different proportion, at first when I began to draw it it looked proportional however with the last few points it began to curve very noticeably.
