I was xpecting an easy one but the paper turned out to be quite difficult! Considering the level if difficulty mine went pretty well! I did question 1 2 4 Nd 5!
First question was not so easy......
i did one on commercial banks, conflict of objectives and basic economic prob

got some problem on how to encourage savings
and when it asks 'to what extent does low inflation conflict with full employment....' i didn't really know what to write....

I did that question! Lol the question stated to analyse! So I gave a complete analysis of different objectives of public Nd private sector which then leads to a difference in wages!

i wrote a bit about demand and supply, a bit on how private sector is motivated by profit and therefore greater demand for labour
and in public sector, there is more security of work, more fringe benefits and therefore a greater supply

well i did the first question making sure to completely use the case reference in it. then question 2., the 5 (monoply one) and 7 th one..i have studied for it like crazily since exact 24th october last year. (after my previous cie) and it deffinately paid off. i wrote some good answers. all problem i faced was that i did first question in 45 min. 2nd in next 30 min 3rd in next 25 min and last one in like 15 min. my writing was a dump thing.. and the exchange rate question was what i left explainig a basic concept in,. that i later added as extension. and managed to put in right place at just last moment.. it was horrifying

^^ how did your paper went.
well i did the questions disorderly
first numb 2 - Basic economic problem etc - easy one
then numb 6 - conflict of objectives - here i lagged a bit but managed all questions
then numb 4 i think - commercial banks - did it alright... just some doubts on 'how to encourage savings?'
finally within 20 minutes had to rush through 1st question - now some serious problems but overall was ok

some more time would have definitely helped but let's hope for the best

Gud luck for your other exams!!! (y)

Did the same me too

Worried about savings one....
Not possible to give 6pts only for interest rates.... Surely should have mentioned other things but what?
