nah tbh paper 3 is so hard to predict as it could be anything from micro or macro. best bet is to revise everthing.

Paper 1: Policies to reduce environmental issues from all cars 25 marker - Section A
Contestable markets 15 marker and Privatisation & efficiency 25 marker - Section B

Paper 2: Contractionary fiscal policy rise in corporation tax- 25 marker Section A

my teacher recommended leaving the evaluation for the last paragraph so basically you'd answer the question give 3 points explian and use text and leave the evaluation to the end as evaluation is 4 marks.

Do we reckon this could finally be the year they ask a question on COVID and its impact?
The cost of living crisis could also be one right?

Paper 2 Essay 2: Something to with supply-side policies (15 marker)
Something along the lines of... Assess the view that macro objectives always conflict (25 marker)

it was like explain why in the long run monopolistic competition is neither productively or allocatively efficient
and the 25 marker was like competition policy always causes inefficiencies and to evaluate that - along those lines at least!

For the 25/15 marker, I'm a bit confused on structure:

1.Can it be purely micro/macro or does it have to be an equal mix?
2. Also can you write a micro point but have macro evaluation and do a mix in that way

Also does anyone know where I can find an essay example? for paper 3?

1. with the aqa they don't penalise you if you only talk about just macro or just micro for the whole essay. but try your best to.
2. my tutor says if you do a macro point you have to do a macro evaluation and vice versa

On tutor2u they have a exemplar paper 1,2,3. The file is too big to send here so i think its best for you to search it up.

Yeah, and I barely did any revision for the first 2 econ papers right before them as well lmao. That's only because I've been doing econ revision pretty consistently over the past 2 years and feel confident in it though, it's not as if I'm going in blind or anything.
