Economics isn't an essay type exam, few short points will get you the marks! Short questions can be a bitch though!

I feel so unprepared for this exam. I had barely any time to study for it as I studied mainly accounting (which I had today) and chemistry (which I have tomorrow) over the weekend.. Why can't economics be on Wednesday afternoon ?

What factor of production do you think will come up? I'm thinking imperfect will come up for the market structures while Monopoly and Perfect may make a feature as well somewhere on the paper.

^ land hasn't come up in ages afaik

I'm hoping for Capital, Imperfect and National Income, as well as Demand Supply and Elasticity!

I really need A. I have a feeling price discrimination monopoly is coming up> I also predict-Inflation,taxation, Land short question. too easy as long. Compare PC with monopoly curve and IPC. Fops- Capital and labour tied in with unemployment/national wage agreement. Demand not much, Supply full question with PES and Elasticity. International trade-mainly theory as LOCA came up last year. COP will be econamies and diseconomies of scale. They are going to tie in Markets with Gov. Just assuming though!!!!

I know, he does the same with Geography. I found it interesting how he left the factor of production so far down on the list.

I'd love Land to come up as the F.o.P but I highly doubt it. It came up in the mock paper though. I'm predicting imperfect competition with a bit on oligopoly at the part (c), labour, national income, and then maybe a bit of International trade, or so I'm hoping.

I'm banking on the market structure, F.o.P and national income questions', so I'm hoping they are nice.

Actually, does anybody have a list of the formulas that you need to learn ? I know there are some in the log tables but I can't find mine! If anyone knows which formulas you have to learn I would really appreciate it if they posted!

What are the most common definitions to come up?

If Oligopoly comes up I will cry.

It's possible but Imperfect has higher odds of appearing on the paper. You might see Oligopoly in the SQs. There is a possibility of price discrimination appearing somewhere on the paper as well.

Lads, I cannot study for this at all :P Such a boring subject, and I have DCG tomorrow as well!

Got a B1 in mocks, I'm pushing for the A now though, finding it exhausting to look at the books at this stage though, so burned out, and I have to last until Friday!

If I manage to get the energy to do 1 or 2 topics tonight, what'd be your guarantees (Besides Imperfect, I'm grand on that)?

Kinda last minute to be asking but you know the marking scheme, whats written would that be enough for full marks or are they just briefly mentioning the points?
We'd an awful teacher who created his own marking scheme so Im still learning what is actually the accepted amount of info..

No National Income long question last year so it'll definitely be a good one to study. My teacher seems certain Inflation is going to come up as a long question too since it hasn't been up in a while.

really there is no subject that burns me out like economics

It's a state and explain kinda marking scheme. They're marked in sets of 5. The statement is worth 2 marks and then you'd generally get 3 marks for how well you explain it, but if you write 3 short relevant sentences per point you should get your 3 for explanation.

Is the property tax progressive or regressive?

The marking scheme accepts both answers as long as you have a valid argument. I'd go with regressive
