Which variant did you do?

I did variant 1 and thought all the essays except for one of them were really easy, whilst the data response had a tricky bit or two but was generally good.

I reckon you're right about the threshold, they're always between 46 an 49 to be honest!

variant 42 (pakistan)

The threshold varied very little from year to year. So even if this year's difficulty level is pretty high, the lowest it can get is 47 I think. I did variant 42 and I think the threshold should be 48 since it is not that difficult compared to the same 42 paper last June.

it could get 46 becaus essay if looked closely were quite analytical and only 2 qs repeated q7 dito repeated and q6 indirectly repeated however this data respone was the easiest i ever solved i did 15 data respone but this one was more like small business case study

The reason why I thought the threshold was 48 was due to Q7 and data response. I was so happy when I saw the last question. I was really well-prepared for this kind of question. But as you said, other essay questions were not easy at all. Can we talk about the paper right now? It's been 24 hours.

*marginal pricing

What was the data response on variant 2? I did variant 1 and it was essentially theory of the firm, but they also asked you to talk about how macroeconomic policy affects microeconomic decisions from the extract.

Wow I think yours should be a 25. I only wrote in a very routine way, explaining economic efficiency first and it can be only achieved in perfect competition and then stating all the market failures with the reasons about why inefficiencies are caused and concluding that it can't be achieved in the reality. But don't u think this question might not require the discussion about the govt role even though I would've written if I had enough time. I expect to get a 21/22. So I really hope yours which was clearly better than mine can get a 25.. And which else did u choose? I chose the inflation one and didn't feel good. And was the question C in data response about the advantages of economies of scale?

About collusion, firm theory and very microeconomic, which was really rare.
