For paper 3 do we need to talk about micro and macro effects in each question? Or do you focus on the question purely, could anyone let me know?

think it depends on the question, some questions e.g. market structures would be micro, so you'd wanna talk mainly micro. however i think with p3 you can talk about both effects, but stay relevant to the question.

Thanks that is very helpful, now just need to make sure I’m good with the financial sector I did all topics for paper 1 and 2 except for that and I feel like it will come up.

i'd look at financial sector, anything trade, perfect comp and then a load of macro stuff that didn't come up on paper 2 like BoP, employment, multiplier+accelerator

im not v familiar w this paper as we haven't gone thru it really or even done one as a mock in class etc so
when you answer do you have to state like 'macro effect' and micro or just answer normally? and apart from the multiple choices are all of the rest of the questions meant to be answered with both micro and macro effects?

I mean econ plus dal said to focus purely on the question itself so if it is about macroeconomic objectives it’s all macro.

How is everyone revising financial regulation I’ve done it before but it’s so boring and repetitive.

Same here I put so much hours in during May so had to lock in for maths and chem. I really hope they don’t throw in those random tax calculations in the multiple choice, the PED ones are fine but I haven’t seen those tax calculations anywhere in the textbook. I look at the mark scheme and the answers literally don’t make sense.
