@Fuzzyducky, Gov is always tough. Especially these days. The other two aren't too bad tbh. Just take a good bit of study and learning!!

@ StevenJohn, serious??? Why not?? That's stupid!!

We do exam questions but we dont correct them because it "takes too much time". im okay studying it but we dont get any help on how to go about answering questions

That's a bit ridiculous in my opinion!! You need to know HOW to answer the questions. Do you use the official marking schemes?

The Census question came up the last time there was one too (2006) so it's quite likely to make an appearance again this year I'd say. Some uses of the Census:

1) Population change: A census shows the extent of change of a country's population over a period of time (5 years in Ireland).
2) Labour Market: The findings can be used to assess the changes in the labour market and potential changes that may occur in the future.
3) Profiles: The census compiles information about the population such as sex, religion, marital status, nationality, employment status, etc. which may be useful to policy-makers.
4) Future Investment: The findings can be used to predict future demand for essential services such as education, etc.

There are others but these are fairly solid examples.

@ Leaving11, Not trying to be smart but I did post this in the 'Economics' group so......

Yes I had two of those but wasn't entirely sure. Thanks anyway

The best thing is to study the marking schemes. The Economics ones are brilliant.

what came up on your economics?

Perfect comp. Capital and interest rates. And thanks john

Ok, notes more or less ok now. Can't put them online cos of copyright laws. I've some graphs in them that are scanned from a textbook. Email me and I'll reply with them attached. john.sugrue@gmail.com

The notes ok?

That's the way most people are I think. Micro is always the favourite. You'll have to come to grips with a bit of macro though because you'll have to do at least one macro long question. What's confusing you in particular?

Steven, I don't suppose teachers would be able to go to that course?? I'd be interested in those topics myself.

i dont know too much about it because im not doing it, id say everyone is welcome because it means he makes more money haha

yeah that would make sense alrite lol
