The Exam has been and gone, I hope you were all happy with it. The exam looked pretty fair, it was looking for pupils to interpret and give their opinion rather than just regurgitate text from the book which is a much better way of examining, even if it is harder for pupils to prepare for.
If you want to see the exam, It's available here.

Countdown to the Exam
So most of you will have started your leaving cert with English yesterday, I hope it went well.
Before the panic sets in, what can you do from here? you are not going to cover the whole Economics course properly whilst also studying for your other exams.
There are a few bankers for the Economics exam, the following topics have come up every year as full long questions.
You only need to answer 4 long questions, so I would recommend being as clear as possible on these topics.
I don't like making predictions on possible questions, but I would be surprised if at least one of the following don't make an appearance...

- Factors of Production
- The public sector pay bill
- The greying population and its consequences
- Emigration (bran drain)

Best of Luck to all sitting the exam.
My recommendations on timing
150 mins Exam.
Section A, 6 questions 25 mins
Section B, 4 Long questions 30 mins
This will leave you with 5 mins to read the exam at the start.
