im guessing PES, Labour, and financial markets like the interest rate stuff. And then the usual demand supply shift diagrams with perhaps competition

That calculating gross pay question got me so confused I really think they’ve made a mistake cuz the numbers added up didn’t match any of the option. 😭 the multiple choice questions were so weird and they didn’t feel like any of the past papers I’ve done, maybe it’s js me but idk. 😭 the last 8 marker was about social sustainability it felt like a geography question 😭 this paper was so weird in general

The whole paper was written very vaguely and just really weird. Especially that 2 marker on the band, as some people are saying 1200, some people are saying 1300. That one marker was completely wrong, and I swear some of the multiple choice had more than one answer.

There was no answer for that one, no answers were right, they will compensate a mark hopefully

Yeah some people took the 50 pounds away from both of the musicians and then added. That's fine the other calculations were good

One of the 6 markers didnt make sense at all, the one about the musicians ALASA having a price inelastic supply and how it would be beneficial for consumers, there are no positive agreements for it. It seems like they were meant to write producers
