There are heaps of correct answers. For an advantage I wrote that it erodes the debt for individuals as it is worth less in real terms. For a disadvantage I wrote that inflation causes lower International Competitiveness and just outlined some effects of this

yeh Alex its me

me too, the multi's were fucked, some were way too ambiguous Crime wasnt too bad, took a while though, i focused on factors that cause criminal behaviour for that last question as a reason for low commitment, what do you you think? Shelter not bad, but too broad, had way to much to write...

Nah, out of all of them i hated the Richard Q the most. From all the past papers and trials i had seen they never specified a couple of themes present in both texts. usually they just wanted a comparison of the different contexts/values/purposes. that really threw me

The two sources of domestic law are statute law and common law I think sources of international law include treaties, agreements, customary law, etc. Not 100% sure on the last one though, check it just to be sure

What do you reckon the cut offs would be?

Despite the current trend this year, i would be massively surprised if they did not ask an effectiveness question for the last two essays, however they could try to mix it up a little in the crime section.

Re: Band 6 Raw? i herd that a 72/120 in 2003 was scaled to 82 and this paper was at least in the same range as that that one. you can say that it wasnt that difficult, and that it was just the different setting of the paper that through people, but the fact is that general marks will be lower...
