    Yeah at the start I was ****ting it looking at the questions, I was looking for perfect competition, but oligopoly wasnt too bad. It took me the full 2 and half hours to do. Overall Im pretty happy with it.

    Not too bad; plenty of surprises though. Spent an Extra 5 mins at the end getting everything down. Fixed Capital and Social Capital caught me out , but apart from that it wasnt too bad

    Question one and the short answers were full markers with a bit of luck.

    Feck Market Theory, trust this to be the year they pick to repeat last years question...
    No FOP or costs question??? Again, completely against regular system.
    What the hell was with the graphs for Keyne?
    Canons of Taxation was also on the same paper... argh
    National Income was pretty bizarre... Int. Trade was very waffly
    Another waffle question regarding social costs and something else...

    Ah well, C of some description will suit me nicely.

    Roll on Music!

    I was very very happy, didn't realise until now how much of it was on last years paper, but realised how much that benifited me! Did questios 1,4,5,7,8..

    Short questions were fine too.

    I'd be hoping for a good B.

    Time to party!

    I did a revision seminar and the person givin it was an assistant examiner for econ. The only Market he did was oligopoly... COINCIDENCE?
    Whos an idiot for not studying oligopoly- I could lose out on an A1 because of that MASSIVE mistake
