Interesting exam, fairly similar to most years overall:
- I found a few of the MCQ questions challenging and different
- Short answers questions weren't too bad, more emphasis on critical thinking than previous years
- Q25: On trade and economic objectives from memory (I didn't do this question)
- Q26: Economic growth, macroeconomic and microeconomic policies
- Q27: Environmental sustainability
- Q28: Factors which influence size and composition of current account

Can someone chuck the questions here? That'd be great

I feel very confident in how I did, but I should've managed my time a bit better to give more time to my second essay, I didn't get to talk about as many ideas as I wanted, and only got 3.5 pages, but my first essay I managed over 5 pages, all had heaps of trends and statistics and reports etc.

I think this year was definitely harder than previous years. I think anyone that didn't study would have significantly struggled in the multiple choice and short answers. But the essay questions themselves were fairly conventional and standard.

Personally found it really challenging..... But I was very unprepared...... Still managed to finish the exam.... This only 4 pages for second essay....

It was so scary in a huge empty hall with rain thundering on the tin......
