Economics, now THERE is one thing that i can blag!

In my pain and misfortune I found myself in yet another economics exam the other day. The exam is split into 2 parts the first being a multiple choice and the second essay questions. the multiple choice is not as fun and easy as it sounds, oh no sir, these questions are completely solid and I mean solid! these you cant blag, this is where you actually have to know something, or at least have an educated (hopefully!) guess.

After completing the multiple choice, I turned to the next section where you have a choice of 2 essay sections, I chose what I later found to be the harder of the 2. The whole question was about the car industry, which I know little about but the women's rights in the workforce looked really boring. I had completed the first 3 questions worth 5, 8, and 12 marks and was about to start the big 25 marker when I realised that I could answer this question with no economic knowledge and with little more than common sense. And that I did. A risky move I will admit but this was a resit and the first time round I had used every little bit of economic knowledge and understanding I had to give what I thought was an award winning answer, only to be disappointed on results day. What have I to loose?

I'm actually excited for my results this time, not the best time to conduct experiments during A level exams but alas, my timing has never been perfect!

Until Results day!
