And then if you tie that into the paper, maybe with five minutes to pick your questions,

That then leaves you with a nice 10 minutes, which I always think is a good idea just to review, just to scan back over.

You might have left out a little spot here or there that could be worth 10 or 15 marks, which equates then maybe to 2% of the overall exam.

So the main thing is that students, I would recommend at the top of the page, do a SEE, which stands for State, Explain and Give an Example, because having corrected before, there must be a statement

there must be an explanation and ideally then there'll be an example as well.

There's a few key ones that are just imperative.

They come up nearly every year.

The first one is market structures.

It's a huge topic.

It's the four markets, perfect competition, imperfect, oligopoly, monopoly, which might make some people feel a bit nauseous, but it's a huge topic, comes up nearly every year.

National income is massive as well, the circular flow of income.

Then the old basics like supply and demand is massive.

Fiscal policy is very important.

And then the kind of hub that they've built into new course, David, is sustainability.

And there's three types, economic, social, and environmental.

You kind of have to have that overarching feel for economics.

The key thing to do well, David, I think, is that people or the students understand the language of economics and are able to use the phraseology like fiscal policy, monetary policy, the different types of demands.

You know, you won't fool the examiner if you're waffling.

You're better off, I think, just to think before you ink, take your time, take a step back.

Even the topics you discussed there, the chapters on about the heart, that has economic implications if someone gets sick.
