It was not very hard i would say moderate. I think this because it was diffwerent to what i had expected and the fact that you couldn't ave walked in there memorising the text book and going bam bam bam as much as the past years.
I thought it was relatively easy...
The multiple choice was as usual...
Short answers were nothing special either...
Maybe except for that 5 marker on the twin deficits theory...
And the essay questions I thought were quite straightfoward too...
I dunno about the tariff one...
but for the macro/micro... there was sooooooo much you could write about...
The section 4... I thought ESD was quite random for an essay
So I did the exchange rate one which wasn't that bad...
Kinda struggled to think of what to write for it...
but eventually you can link it to external stability and etc etc
Moderately Hard. I thought it was harder than the CSSA Trails, multiple choice was alright. Some of the short answer was pretty difficult and the extended questions i chose didnt have alot of depth (protection & environmental) to really talk about.
i did the multiple choice in 10 minutes. short answers in 40 minutes. and had 2 h 10 for the essays. for which i wrote 5 booklets!. it was pretty straight forward.
i thought it was ok. a lot easier than i expected, but still a challenge. i liked the mc, i think i only didnt get one. as always, itll come down to essays, and how picky they are with short answer.
