How difficult did you find the Eco exam? (1 Viewer)

err. I think you should've addressed all 6 objectives to get full marks for the exam.
The way I structured mine was I talked about macro and micro policies EG:
Starts with fiscal policy - link it to some of the goals say its successful, then how it dampens other ones
Monetary - same thing
Micro policy - same thing

Conclusion - achieve some goals successfully, conflicting objectives etc etc

But I forgot to link them to enviro and external stability. However I think enviro needed a separate paragraph of its own (unless you slot it under fiscal or micro) when talking about like market based, putting a tax on externalities, complete ban etc. I was gonna slot it in at the end but no time

Sounds exactly the same as what I wrote in 8 and a half pages. It was a gift question.

Erm, I think it should be considered a 'government policy'. The RBA acts on behalf of the government.

Discuss the effectiveness of economic policies in achieving the Australian government's economic objectives.
So Monetary Policy should be okay, i decided not to do this Q because of its nature --> it is very easy and broad so i would expect the markers would want you to convey as many policies as you can, missing some important one might be detrimental. Just my opinion btw

Good job. I did mine in 7 pages but forgot to link some objectives so I'm pretty bummed.

Haha I was really tired so when the supervisor was talking to me I was really stoned and I probs seemed wasted as.
She was like oh wow, your tables a mess. and I'm just like, yeahh..... i know aye
Then shes like dude you didn't write your student number on the booklet -___- and I was like ohhhhhh yeah good idea LMAO
Then she started walking away, but she forgot to sign my blue sheet off, so I was like oii heyyyyyyy and i was like pulling her jumper hahaha. Good times.

Lol I know supervisors are funny yet a tad dumb. I was waiting right behind the door before the exam started (lol I was the first one there soo pumped) and the supervisor opened the door wide open and squashed me with it. -.- hahaha it was classic.

You could've written 12000 pages on Q28

Too easy. Multiply Choice was a gift! Short answers (though there was a few that arched eyebrows) were straight forward. Extended Responses were great and predictable.

I am curious how alignment would work out with such an easy exam.

I like the questions :3 The only thing I hated was Question 25 and 26 LOL Maybe because I wasn't as prepared... Oh well~

Im pretty sure you were not required to talk about all objectives.


How successful is the australian governments policies in achieving objectives(you could pick one or two) that how i took it anyway.

Um no.
You have to talk about all economic objectives unless they specify certain ones. You can condense it though, I was brief on income+environment.

did you go in depth with eco growth/ U/e and inflalation?
I went in depth with 4 and I did income inequality just mehhh. (5 more mins could have talked about inequality on income and unemployment conflict with a wage diagram + talk about environment and recent Australia's linkage with EU with emissions trading scheme from 2015- would ev been close to full marks) probably get like 17/20 now.

Lot easier than last year but the aligning will account for this
