do all the last papers available on paper 3 and see which topics haven't come up in paper 1 and 2 and focus on those. also practice exam technique for paper 3 too

What do you think will come up? I feel like globalisation and financial regulation may come up

Yeah same, there also haven't been any questions on IMF or WTO yet which I think might come.

Also, what structures do we use for 8 and 15 markers? I have a structure for both (my 15 mark and 12 mark are the same structure) but I'm not sure if I could be using a better structure for these.
econdal my goat will come through hopefully

Honestly if u work hard and just generalise revision on topics you should be able to smash the exam. Most of it is comprehension and the answers are normally heavily detailed in the text. Don't stress you can do it :smile:

Did u guys notice the mistake in the paper. It said 36000 strike days or something between 2010-2020?? And the index number said 2014=100 as the base instead of 2004? maybe i’m being dumb and didn’t understand. Either way it’s over now good job guys🙌🏼

yea but i just used the data as it says it is. I didn't want to assume they were wrong, i just worked with whatever they gave.
