shellziess Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 What are your predictions for paper 3 questions that could come up? Market structures (costs) maybe? 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IB`NOT`ez Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 omg lmao i literally predicted 2x of the 4 mark questions in the morning of exams. Had a hunch limitations of comparative advantage might come up since it's one of those things that you can really only talk about for a 4 mark question, and I red through my old Nov 2015 Paper 3. Then, there was a 4 mark question on limitations of comparative advantage, as well as a 4 mark ToF question that's EXACTLY the same from Nov 2015 Best paper 3 of my life.

The comparative advantage question was great but I got very confused about working out welfare loss and etc. for question two. It was an okay paper I guess hahaha Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an okay paper I guess hahaha Hmm I can't remember any question on welfare loss – wasn't it social surplus? Don't really remember most of what the calculations asked for but comparing it with friends we got quite similar answers. Imo Question 1 was easier than Question 2 (not to sure about Current Account calc since I remember there are net trade of goods & services, and both current and income transfers so I got about -31 or something but I'm seeing -29 or other answers etc.) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I ended up answering the questions but I just hope for a 6 in paper 3 coz I know I did very well in paper 1 and 2. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper 1 has always been my weakest paper, and though I loved the part b) questions given, I don't feel like I made use of such an opportunity as well as I'd like. Just hoping for a 37-39/50. Paper 2 and Paper 3 were amazing particularly because I only revised specific topics the night before and they all came out (plus representation from my country in one of the case studies #Indonesia) Hoping for a high 7 on Paper 2 and a mid-7 on Paper 3.

Paper 2 was so nice. I did not take the Indonesia one (took Kenya and Zambia) but all of the case studies had good topics. I always do better in Paper 1 so I am hoping for a 7 on paper 1 and 2 and like a 6 in paper 3 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the boundary will go up to a 76 for a 7 from 74 last year, or do you think it might go all the way up to 78 like in May 2014? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellziess Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I think they will put the grade boundaries slightly up. But I do not predict a rise of 4. 76 sounds good to me. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
