Remember it isn't just quality that is the key too high marks, quality+ quanitity = highest marks. My economics teacher who is a hsc marker said he has handed out full marks with people who have written a booklet of quality (8 pages). I wrote 7 a4 notepad pages in my extended reposnse, which would equal about 11 pages in a hsc booklet i would guess?

The half yearly is so easy, you only need to know half the course, and there is like no formula's needed.. Make sure you can work out the government revenue earnt from a tarriff, work out different components of the BOP, and effects of appreciation/depreciation fo the dollar (if you did topics 1 and 2).

We actually have to know how to work out the multiplier, and in order to be able to work that out, MPC and MPS is also needed; and I think we need to know APS and APC as well.
My exam is on monday arvo.... what did everyone whose done their half yearly get for the extended response/ essay question? I think mine is going to be Economic Growth...

Workign out the mulitplier, MPC and MPS is chapter 7 (economic growth). Chapter 7 is topic 3, Economic issues. I would assume half yearly means being tested on half the course...

I assume your talking about the extended response, i doubt you would fail because you didn't use a graph.

but wasn't good either.

Outline ways in reducing protection and anyalse its impacts on the domestic and global economy. (or along those lines)
Was that the extended response question you got in your half yearly?

Something along those lines, i can't remember it exactly was over 2 weeks ago jeez. And if your thinking yes it was a very broad question.
