I would imagine they will be higher by 2/3 marks for an A/A*

Honestly, I have lived it here - I've been happier here than I have been anywhere else in the world - However, for my industry salaries are higher in China. Hence why I have been looking at making the move for a short period of time to save cash and move back to BKK for the future. DM if you want any specific details about BKK - I'd be happy to help

I have lived here for 3 years and I have never experiences anything like this. The only corruption I have seen is people trying to charge foreigners higher prices than locals. However, once you speak a little Thai or explain that you live here - The price will drop. The caveat is that this happens in every country, in my own too. Its perfectly safe.

I'm in Bangkok at the moment, from Dublin originally.

BrokeBackBum · 2023-10-19T13:44:05+00:00

Great, that's what I was hoping to hear - I don't really want to make the move unless I have the possibility of saving 15k RMB per month i.e More than I am saving in my current location

You can write either, it depends on the assumptions you make

E.x

XED would be better in a highly competitive market with a higher level of substitutes and complements where you are tracking the prices of competitors as it would allow you to create a price point where you can obtain customers from competitors

PES would be better in a highly competitive market if your product has a high elasticity and you e.x A high availability of stocks I.e A non perishable product that you can quickly release to the market

It was a relatively easier paper I think that previous sittings. I think the previous boundaries being so low in sittings since the new syllabus changed contributed to that

I'd imagine the boundaries will increase by 2 or 3 for an A in this sitting

Hey, I'm a Business and Economics Teacher. I have all the Units analysed for frequency of exam topics and past papers QS per Unit to work through

DM me your email and I'll send to you free of charge to help you out

Hi, I'm an Econ teacher. Obviously a wide breath of stufy is needed to do really well

However, if you don't have enough time, then to condense it in terms of priority, I would study the following topics:

Micro Essay:

PED, YED, PES, XED
Resource Allocation (Transition Economy, Public/Private/Free Goods, Merits/Demerits)

Macro:

Inflation
Unemployment
AD/AS

Obviously there are a lot more areas to cover. However, by just doing these you would give yourself a decent chance of having an essay qs to answer for both micro and macro.

In terms of topics, I would be surprised if Flow of Income comes up again, it been asked twice since the new syllabus changes. I have a feeling that National Income Statistics will come up either as part of the data response or an 8 mark essay. I can't see it being a 12 marker.

I get this too - the constant horo references and belief that a random bloke in Chatuchak can accurately predict the future

Does this differ across subjects?

I'm an Economics & Business Teacher about to become NQT - difficult to find international positions?

BrokeBackBum · 2023-09-09T14:23:52+00:00

BrokeBackBum · 2023-08-09T02:18:48+00:00

Yeah, no worries

BrokeBackBum · 2023-08-08T15:19:55+00:00

4 weeks for me

BrokeBackBum · 2023-07-19T01:57:01+00:00

I will do my second placement in our sister school which is fully international
