Though I have heard that the REVISED econs paper is tough; though I have already seen last year's econs essay paper and known that it is not easy.... today's essay paper is still something that exceeds my expectation...

The first question, 25 marks, something about resource allocation in Singapore has given me a big shock... I began to wonder am I sitting for econs A level or econs S level... of course, I did not chose this question... to choose 3 questions out of the remaining 5 is not so difficult, but to do these 3 questions is also not easy... The first question I attempted is about supply, demand and elasticity. The first time I encounter a question that asks me to discuss all 4 elasticity concepts... ZX says he purposely skip revising price elasticity of supply because it has not come out for 10 years.... we are really a lucky batch to have the privilege to do the never-seen-before topic for 10 years... The second question I attempted is about unemployment? at least part (b) is about it... and I didn't really read the question clearly... the result is to write something does not require in the question and have no time to write those things which are really important... The last question should be the most standard question of all, money supply, inflation... something that I can copy from other essay plans and notes... unfortunately, strategic mistake: this is the last question I did, expectedly, ran out of time... in all, the whole paper is such a mass...

Anyway, some friends even have a worse experience than me... JH told me before the exam that he only revised micro and NIA... the paper turns out to have some really difficult micro questions and no NIA question... while I was doing, I wondered how can JH manage to choose 3 questions... after exam, he told me that he practically wrote a GP essay for a particular question... sigh...

It's not so much about whether I can score an 'A' for my econs paper.... (though, of course, I really want an 'A')... there is no sense of satisfaction during my essay writing today... all I got is anxiety, agony and despair... anyway, what have done cannot be undone... should prepare for tomorrow's physics now... actually, physics is the one that I fear the most...
