yup i agree, it was really accurate. Edexcel is the only exam board that stuck to the advanced information, AQA and OCR on the other hand... yeah not so much, so if you have any exams with those exam boards, i highly recommend revising every topic

yeah the extracts were so bad. But i only used the figure in my 15 marker i referenced how sweden have a better CAP law meaning they can get more fish than the UK which means that they can outpreform the UK in the fishing industry

What answers did you get for the MCQ questions?

Yeah I’m pretty sure 20 marker is on policies, that’s what my teachers have been saying as well

policies could also just be a 15 marker. You're right about being a question worth a lot of marks but i wouldn't be so sure of being a 20 marker. If anything 20 marker could be about inflation, impacts of economic growth etc.

Imma try help you out guys, these are the questions that i think may come up. Its good practice answering them

1) Discuss the limitations of using GDP to compare living standards between countries (15)
2) Assess possible causes of inflation (10)
3) Evaluate the macro economic effects of high inflation (15/20)
4) Explain the term "equilibrium of balance of payments" (4)
5) Assess possible reasons for an increase in trade deficit (10)
6) Assess the effects of a fall in the pound on a trade deficit (10)
7) Assess the effects of a fall in investment on the economy (10)
8) Referring to figure....Explain two likely influences on the level of investment in the economy (6)
9) Explain the term recession (4)
10) Discuss the benefits and drawback/impact of economic growth (15)
11) Evaluate the use of government policy / expansionary monetary policy / expansionary fiscal policy / demand side policies / supply side policies in order to stimulate economic growth (20) (if you get govt policy pick one demand and 2 supply) (if they ask the use of policies in the event of a recession you just have to remember theyd use expansionary)

idk if there was already a thread for this, i couldnt see one
but those of you who sat the paper, how did u find it?

I did AQA AS paper 1, and I found it easy funny enough, messed up my 4 marker diagram but the 25 and 10 markers went well. Well at least I think so.

Thanks so much for the list! I'll probs be planning all of these. Btw I've got two other ones :
- Evaluate different policies to correct a current account deficit
- Explain the business cycle/ Discuss possible causes for the shift in the long-term trend rate of growth

I have a strong feeling we will get a 15/20 marker on Balance of payments especially since they've tested economic growth and inflation a lot previously. May be a direct 20 marker on supply side policies asw because so far I haven't seen a past paper explicitly saying 'evaluate supply side policies..'
