Essay questions were nice, just what I thought they’d be. Although didn’t get to fully finish inflation.

how were you meant to do 20 in multiple choice? I just had a guess for that one

Didn’t fully like the inflation essay expected a more policy focus. Multiple choice was easy except idk if you include net errors in current account. Short answers were interesting, especially the ‘explain likely changes to the structure of Australia’s industry’

I noticed they reused a few questions from prior hscs

What do you think the cutoff will be for b6?

how does the difficulty compare to that of previous years…

MC is probably the easiest since 2013. Short answer was a bit interesting in some places but not too obscure. And the essays were pretty much what you would expect if you saw what hadn't been tested in the past few years. Thank god they didn't pull a hard exam on us like what they did in maths.

What questions did everyone do?

I did Q26 (Labour Market) and Q27 (Inflation). I found Q27 harder than Q26 since I didn't rlly remember inflation but it was pre easy after writing a bit haha, almost forgot to "compare" but thankfully I remembered.

How much booklets did you all use as well?

I imagine the marking notes for this year will comment that very few people did q28. I did anticipate that development would be an essay question, but I think the overwhelming majority (myself included) were attracted to the straightforwardness of inflation effects.

labour market and inflation essay pair wouldve been most popular. idek if there's enough to talk about for the current account one. inflation one is weird until you realise its just consequence of inflation essay but you just have to restructure a little bit. I'm jealous of your mcq it was so much better than last years.

I did the BOP one and it wasn't too bad. There's been lots of interesting developments in trade and artofsmart had made a video on it so 25 and 26 were comparable in difficulty (at least for me).

actually you're right. you could make it a causes and consequences essay of BOP but for each cause of BOP make the consequence relevant to exchange rate.
