Thanks for the tips for Paper 2. They were really helpful.

Good luck for your exams too :)

Paper 1 - cannot really forecast anything. Just work loads of past exam questions!

P.S: Was your data response question on elasticity? I think the papers this time are not the same around the world..

The data response in the paper which I took was on income elasticity and price elasticity of air travel.

In Section B, I did an essay on how does price change following a decrease in supply and the second part was on effectiveness of government intervention.

The paper was easy overall...

@ Ari Ben Canaan:
I don't think predictions are not allowed because we did post forecast topics (well before the exams - one week?) for Economics Paper 2 and they were not deleted.

It's another thing altogether, if the "probable topics" were right on spot :) :D

@Twinsis:
Hugs ;) Did you make that username thinking of me? :) lol

Likely essay questions according to me:

(1) Allocative/Productive efficiency

(2) National Income + standard of living

(3) One question on theory of firm - most probably on oligopoly

(4) Alternative objectives of government and conflicts

(5) Please God, let us have an essay on wages and wage differentials!! :-\

(6) Monetary/fiscal policies + Keynesian economics

As a precautionary measure, prepare unemployment and economic growth well too.

For the data-response, I think trade and exchange rates.

Any tips you want to share?
