Who thinks the papers are going to be about Brexit and something to do with government failure?

I reckon they might because it's a relevant topic that happened recently that they could talk about.

Might be stuff to do with uncertainty leading to reduced investment. There is a lot of things they could ask there are many ways to look at Brexit.

No clue. Could be anything in the specification. I know that's not much help but we don't have anything to go on. Just revise the whole specification as they could give us anything with no context.

Any idea of what topics could potentially come up in Section B ?

I guess I'm the only one who thinks they won't mention Brexit! I wouldn't be surprised though... I'm just thinking how it would be asked in the paper... But I think that they might ask something about the NMW or NLW since I haven't really seen any questions on it recently.

You said NLW twice 😂😂😂... Have you started revising? What’s the bst way to revise, and should I revise on countries like Japan and India for A02 application?

NLW is essentially a minimum wage for workers over 25. Whilst NLW is for 16-24 year olds.

Erm no you only need to know about the UK economy iirc. Might be good to check the specification to see. Anything outside the specification isn’t worth your time.

Paper 3 - https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/sho....php?t=5834066
Easier for new users or people to go back on in the future. Should you say sign up next year and want to see the discussion about the paper you don't need to go through several pages and work out if when someone says "Question 4 was ...." as to if that is for paper 1, 2 or 3
But regardless. Good luck with all your exams!
