Megamind Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Hey everybody, how did Eco SL Paper 1 go? Particularly the Tz2, since I gave that paper. Which ones did you attempt? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megamind Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 So I noticed that the 4th question was identical to my 4th question (aka the second option in macro) but I did number 3. It was fairly simple- explaining how a rise in savings and a fall in investment affects the flow of income (shrinks it) and the 15 marker was the easiest ever- simply explaining why the economy always returns to a level of full employment output in the long run (basically why a change in AD does not affect real GDP). I read the 4th question and although I knew it, I didn't feel I could write a lot on the 15 marker so I did number 3 instead. Microeconomics was also fairly easy. I did number 2- it asked to explain how a decrease in costs of production affect the price and output of the agriculture industry (supply shifts right, price comes down, output increases) and how a price floor on agricultural product affects stakeholders of governments. This last part, the 15 marker was particularly long and challenging, though I feel I wrote a really good answer. But, anyway, no more econ for life!

Zulu Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 It was my first exam and I don't think it was that bad. I did 1 and 4 on paper 1, 2 and 4 on paper 2. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanna Göransson Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 My economics class and I all thought that the P1 in SL economics wasn't what we expected at all. I did the past 3 years of exams in economics for revision, and they were all way easier than this year's?! They weren't focused and you couldn't really apply the standard method of answering (Define, diagram, explain diagram, examples, discuss/evaluate) to two of the questions in my opinion. Paper 2 was much better though. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
