    I took up Economics this year and i'm just wondering about the exam papers. I know the layout as in Section A has 9 Q's, answer 6 and Section B has 8 Q's, answer 4. What I don't know is if there are guranteed topics to come up ? As in, is there a certain chapter which HAS to come up, or that comes up every year? I heard there are 4 Q's each on Microeconomics and Macroeconomics in section B.. Is this true? :cool:

    Well Q.1 is always demand and supply with other stuff mixed in at times.
    Q.2 is always market structures whether it's perfect/imperfect/monopoly/oligopoly.

    These are the certain ones. The other ones are not set in stone (neither are the above two but they always come up) so if you have a browse thru the marking schemes you will realise which topics come up most often.

    Factors of Production is a guaranteed long question.

    There are not always 4 Micro and 4 Macro (2005 for example) although in the last couple of years there have been.

    No, unfortunately they're not. I can't remember the exact year but I think it may have been 2007 or around there, no factor of production appeared on the paper.

    NOTHING is guaranteed in Economics except a Market Structure questions which HAS to appear every year as I read in a Chief Examiners report years ago.

    Be weary though, they have started mixing market structures in recent years! i.e. 2012, 2010..
