Perfect Competition/Oligopolies/Contestability -> They haven't come up yet
Labour Markets -> Highly likely
Nationalisation of the railways/Minimum price on alcohol (Scotland)/Gig economy/ways to deal with plastic waste/banning petrol and diesel cars in the UK/housing market/tuition fees/Heathrow 3rd runway/dealing with obesity -> question on a topical issue is very likely
Externalities
State provision of health/education etc.

Regarding grade boundaries since 2017, they haven't changed much. It's about 60% give or take for a B so I'd reckon that will increase by 1-3% error margin or pretty much stay the same.
