So. Does anybody have any? I'm rather worried for this exam due to my inability to remember graphs.

Im just going to concentrate on:
1.Demand/supply
2.Elasticity
3.Oligopoly
4.The factors of production
5.International Trade/Recession

The short questions are quite repetitive aswel, just go over the last few years!

Thanks for the tips! I need a fairly good result in this exam, annoyingly.

OP and anyone else out there I have a set of notes which basically are predictions. They set out key topics you should know for the exam and the main partd of each topic. Covers you for at least 5-6 long Qs.

PM me your email if you want a copy.

But also study the other 3. You never know what will come up, just take English for example, we all saw what happened there...

My Predictions

• Oligopoly
• Elasticity
• Demand/Supply
• Factor(s) of Production
• Economic Development -with a (c) part on history of economic thought, probably Keynes.
• National Income
• International Trade
• Euro&Exchange rates or Government budget/Taxation or Employment

Everyone is on about Nama being on it, don't know what or where they could ask it on, perhaps the last Q?


I reckon they'll ask something on Keynes because his work is all about coming out of recession.

Thoughts?

-Supply/Demand/Elasticity
-Oligopoly - But know the other market structures for short questions (and also they might try to mix things up like in English)

And make your other predictions according to the real world. The economics exams are very up to date in there questions. So expect questions such as:

Rise in unemployment.
Banking crisis - loans, interest rates (ECB) etc.
Land/Labour/Enterprise/Capital.
Exchange rates.
The government (National Debt etc)

And any other things regarding the recession and how it's affecting Ireland.

Hey eh well you can just sit there and listen to her and you can ask questions if you want but she doesn't really take that many as it's only an hour long and there's like 50 in the class.

"To Boland": Verb. To move the bellcurve of any large state examination to the left by not including a high-mark question people presume will be included.

Quick question on how its marked:

For the exam questions, the answers to which are not in the book (i.e. most of macro), can you just make up your own points and as long as they make some sense, you get the marks or does it have to match the points made in the marking scheme?

So long as the point you make is relevant. Must be relevant. Can't just be some made up point. And if you don't develop the point well enough, you might not get the marks...
