    General Thoughts: Modern History

    As a marker do you usually take off the whole 6 marks in a 6 marker question when a student misreads which sources to refer to or do you give 1 mark for using own knowledge?

    General Thoughts: Modern History

    Would you lose the whole 6 marks if you used the wrong sources for the 6 marker but answered the question predominantly based on own knowledge with 3 or 4 references to the sources? Yeah I know I screwed up WWI, I just need to find out how screwed I am :(

    General Thoughts: Economics

    Does anyone know if the HSC economics markers mark your short answers if you write over the allocated lines? Because I used separate booklets for the 5 markers (my handwriting's medium to large in exams) but for the 2 and 3 markers I just wrote over the dotted lines and a friend who did her...

    General Thoughts: Economics

    lol don't stress about it because I think they'll be pretty impressed with how much of the course you covered and how you were able to make the links between exchange rates and external stability and current account and all that stuff. I've never even heard of the Marshall-Lerner condition...

    General Thoughts: Economics

    Yeah sorry, I'm gonna remember to reply with quote from now on Honestly, by the way you described how you wrote your essay, it's actually pretty detailed and covered a lot of issues so I reckon you'll end up doing pretty well although you didn't answer the question :)

    General Thoughts: Economics

    I think that for your essay as long as you wrote something about the influences on demand and supply of $A (investment opportunities/interest rates/demand for exports/global eco conditions/consumer tastes and preferences) and if it's well written you should still get a 15/20. Because I did the...

    Section I - Multiple Choice

    I put D as well and I don't really get why it's C, wouldn't increasing factor market competition increase unemployment rate rather than decrease it? Good job on getting one wrong, I got 5 or 6 wrong from the answers posted up here

    Section I - Multiple Choice

    ok but if there's an increase in demand for the $A wouldn't that result in a decreased supply of $A as shown in the graph? with the $A appreciating from 0.60 to 0.70 US? I don't really understand your reasoning for it being C but you're probably right

    Stuck on an Economics multiple Choice Q

    Is the answer A) Food? What I did was get the CPI% as a decimal (i.e. for food 0.3) then get the CPI as a decimal from the base year so for food (1.1) then I did 0.3/1.1 Do that for Health, Housing and Clothing as well and I think (A)'s the right answer?

    Trade Unions

    I might be wrong but I though trade unions represented a group of employees against employers in enterprise agreements in the wage determination system? Because I think only common law contract are individual negotiations between employers and employees but enterprise agreements are negotiations...

    Calculating Real GDP given CPI

    An easier way to do it would just be to do 820/1.25 when you treat CPI of 100 as the base value and then to get rid of inflation in Year 3, just take 125 as 1.25 and you should get the right answer
