    Ive heard a lot of people talking about leaving out certain parts of the economics course and focusing on more predictable, recurring parts. Just wondering is this possible? And if so what parts should you not study

    Anything on the syllabus can be asked about in the exam (regardless of whether it has been in the past or not), so be aware of that if you start leaving bits out.

    Q1 in long questions is always supply/demand/elasticity, Q2 market structures, Q3 one of the four factors of production. Know these well and you have 3/4 long questions sorted. Short questions should be a doss if you have a good overall understanding of the economics course. I'd recommend studying some of the government aims and budget, as well as international trade and money and banking, as these come up in the long questions and short. Very nice exam, great choice of questions.
