So how did everyone go? multiple choice was alright, i think I gunned the short answers however I had no idea what it meant by rationale in one of the microeconomic questions. Wrote 9 pages on both essays, so pretty pleased overall, how did you guys go? :)

Are you guys serious or just trolling about the 13 pages each for an essay?

I wrote 5 and 6 pages for mine and felt as though I answered the question well enough... surely you guys didn't repeat yourselves over and over? o_0

I seem to have big writing but i still was able to write about 1800-2000 words each essay. I may have repeated myself in some points but mainly got the info down pretty well.

Don't forget the diagrams too, I used two in each essay.

I saw the monetary question, realised i had no idea about any freakin policies (it was a mind blank moment) and I wrote three pages. But the booklets we got were weird, they werent the normal double spaced one. The were more single spaced so yeah. The last essay we got replacement question and that was okay - wrote like 4-5 pages. I think im gonna fail.

Monetary policy is easiest, IMO. I think I spent too much time on the actual process of it, and didn't include enough data/statistics. Got the general cash rate figures in (both pre and post GFC).

Are you sure.... one can reasonably expect to do ~3000 in paper two writing at top speed, so 4000 would take two and a half hours.... surely you didn't do that, not to mention diagrams.

I only had time for two, although I think I briefly mentioned the third.. I should have done this essay first, as I knew most about it. But should still get 16-17 for it :\

^yeah...
You would spend at most 50-60mins on each essay so about 1400 words MAX

I think I wrote like 1000-1200
