No MCQs?!

HoldOnTight

Went looking for past MCQs for Principles of Microeconomics (ECON10010) in the exam website but to no avail:( It merely says they are not available...does anyone know where I can find them?

mcq exams are not available for any courses i think. There are only a limited number of questions they can ask.

There's a couple (edit: read 7) of multiple choice assignments on the Assignment section of the blackboard page. I assume the questions will be very similar, and sure you know the exam format from Macro last symmester.

With Micro and the MCQ's take my advice, look at the sample MCQ's they put on Blackboard, learn it, learn it and then learn it some more. I studied the book, while my friend just learned the MCQ's and he got the A. They just re hash the questions.

Thank you so much for that. I really better start cramming/showing to lectures!:o

But thats the lecturers fault not the students. the students are simply applying the system: necessary inputs for desired results. Its a flawed system...

Plus the lecturer was hinting heavily that the problem MCQs he put up online are going to be useful for the exam

I did the module last year. Really easy if you know the past MCQ's it gets very repetitive. Lectures are a bit of a waste of time. I have a load of past MCQ's and solutions. PM me if ya want me to send them to you.

I know, I was taking the mick out of the mad threads that crop up here from time to time I've done some MCQ learning in my time, don't worry. Although beware, you can get royally screwed by doing it - at Christmas we had reams and reams of past MCQs for a particular subject and not one of them came up on the actual exam. Fortunately I studied properly on that occasion

A friend of mine often worked on the principle of it's easier to write a true statment than a false one for anatomy mcqs. Thus he always ticked true unless he knew the statment to be false.

As far as I know, he never failed one and that was with a 50% pass rate

Wow, fair play to him! Only problem with economics is that generally each mcq has four or five answers, none are true and false.:( That'd be way easier!
