Had A levels Econs Paper 1 and Chem Paper 2 today. Did pretty okay I felt. To be honest, I found the Chem Paper 2 really easy. However, the Econs Paper was not as well as I would have hoped but managed with some answers that seemed considerably okay. Well okay, to go into more detail about my papers now.
Had Econs Paper 1 this morning at 8am. Did do some Paper 1 Case Study questions yesterday prior to the exam so was not too worried. Well, but worry started to creep in as soon as I opened the Econs paper. First question was a Micro question on Demand/ Supply/ Price elasticity and all that! Omg! I’ve literally forgotten about all these content that had been learnt quite some time ago at the very start of my Econs journey lol… Omg! To a person with a memory space of only 2GB(that’s worse than most computers nowadays, or a simple MP3 player lol), all these content seemed to have been learnt years ago. However, it wasn’t that bad such that I had forgotten everything about PED, YED and CED lols. Lucky for me, my JC1 content knowledge was pretty strong so I was still able to remember enough to know what concepts and content to apply. Due to the need to score as many marks as possible within the given time, I made a daring decision to start with the big marks questions first so as to secure more marks and leave the other (2m) questions for later. Wrong move man!! I spent too much time on the first big mark question that I started to worry that there might not be enough time to complete the paper. So I rounded up my answer as best as I could and moved on to Case 2 which I felt I might do better in. However, even as I looked at the answer that I had written, I was sure that it wasn’t going to be enough lols. Haiz, time was tight so there wasn’t much choice. Moving on, Case Study 2 was a little more familiar as it was dealing with Macroeconomics which was done in JC2. Think I certainly did better for my answer for Case Study 2. After that I then went back to finish up Case 1.
All in all, did not really feel very confident of the paper as I was not sure if I had used enough economic concepts and terms in my answers lols.I barely finished on time. Due to time constraints, I had to leave a (10m) question undone as well.
Haiz… tried my best to give answers that were somewhat adequate and satisfactory lols. Guess it’s all up to how the Cambridge examiners mark my papers.
All the best for my Econs Paper 2. It will really be the deciding factor.
Hoping for at least a C for Econs seeing as I’ve never passed my Econs paper hahas. It’s gonna be a huge challenge!
