Hi
I know this is way to late to but i had done my extended math paper a while ago and paper 23 was amazing but paper 43 was pretty hard. I just wanted to know if others who did the same variant found it messed up as well. Some questions were really difficult while others were time consuming. I really hope that the threshold for an A* is lower this year.(BTW what was the lowest threshold for extended math so far?)
Bakwas!
I did Paper 22 and 42, it was messed up for me too. Glad to know that people who took other variants did not take it too well either
dear igcse team,
could you kindly please upload spacimen 2015 economics paper 2
thank you
Hey guys
How do u all write answers in economics like points or paragraphs
pleaseeeeeee helpppp
Paragraphs?
You always write in paragraphs since in many questions you get half the marks for giving a ‘list-like’ answer
Thanx 😉
there is no 2015 specimen cause economics syllabus hasnt changed
… and u can write anyway as long as your bullet points are explained and you are not listing just short phrases
at least thats what i know
hello Sara ,
I prefer paragraphs because it give one a chance of explaining better.
but basically it depends on marks and the question . . . Example MENTION 3 uses of money and marks are 3 i will only state and explain little.
But if is says define scarcity and 2 then you just have to give a basic economical definition and little example ,
So I advice you to look on the questions and understand it .
But again I prefer the use paragraphing and in stating questions using numbering format but also explain briefly.
Hopefully that helped .
But I am not doing paper 3 economics so i do not know about paper 3
🙂
And also if they include or ask you to draw graph you have to explain the graph example using production possibility curve explain . . . so it means you will have to draw the graph explain it and combine the idea in relation of the question and also explain the question in paragraph hope you understood 🙂
Mate, there are only two papers for economics. Also, unless the question has “state” or “mention” in it, you must write full sentences.
There aren’t any specimen papers since the syllabus hasn’t changed
hello friends,
what does evaluate the implications of particular courses of action in terms of opportunity cost mean?
pleaseeee help
thanks ,
it means descibe the opportunity cost of a choice through the viewpoint of BOTH choices. talk abt what wld be the opp cost if you chose choice 1 , then what if you chose choice 2. good luck! 😛
Basically the opportunity cost of any action conducted.
For example, if the government decides to spend majority of their revenue on the building of schools, the opportunity cost would be not being able to invest in the development of roads, or other buildings.
There are a lot of MCQ questions on this
thanks Elena and Rohan ,
So it means to be able to understand and explain the benefits of the opportunity cost of the one you choose and the one you left and vise versa right ?
Thanks once again:)
Do u like roti Do u like rice?
DEAR IGCSE TEAM,
As a humanities student I still have exams and ya I do love humanities and all but I have one question which I really really want an answer to , why are humanities exams in june ?
thank you
just a humanities student suffering seeing all the science students done and playing around.
Hi Basi,
Then just don’t look at those science students 😉
Concentrate in your books instead. And know that you will soon enjoy too… You should be glad that you have lots of ’empty space’ between your papers. Those science students didn’t even have time to catch a breath as all papers ‘cramped together’ 😉
hhhhh thank you so much actually this made me realize how busy they really were they had biology ,math and french on one day and literature and chemistry on one day too!. Anyway , i also wanted to ask about economics 0455 p1 is out of 30 and paper 2 90 this adds up to 120 then how is the syllabus out of 150?
dont worry im with u
im science plus humanities .. n im feeling very jealous hahha
guys is there a syllabus change for addmaths 2015 paper ?
Hey guys
Can u plzzz help me
how do u guys write answers im economics in points or paragraphs
Do NOT write in points. In most answers, they’ll only award half of the marks if you write a list-like answer. Write in paragraphs.
Thanx
but if I want to make it visible to the examiner of the adv and dis can write them im 2 paras for one question?
paragraphs
Thanx for the help
Same thing if I write the answer in 2 paragraphs is it ok?
nope, if there is a syllabus change then there would’ve been a 2015 specimen paper and since there isn’t, no change! also this is what it says on the cie website:
Syllabus updates:
There are currently no updates for this syllabus
not that i know of.
