    just google these topics:

    It's been a long time, about 3 years since i took a course similar to this.

    -know how to draw supply and demand curves and their nature of it.

    -Know how markets try to get to equilibrium and what happens when the graph is above or below the equilibrium and how it happens(shortage, surplus).

    -understand cost production and what variables that reduce the net profits(you should know a table graph for this). memorize it, be prepared to define each one ex:(revenue, operation costs) and prepare a cost production table.

    -understand the differences in monopolies, and why we need some monopolies(think of electricity)

    -understand the terms of perfect competition(example: having similar products)

    and then the rest is common sense.

    If i were you, i'd focus on supply/demand curves and properties(elasticity) and the cost production charts. I believe they are covered most in your exam.

    Good luck, wasnt that hard for me.

    This guy helped a lot!

    Exam wasn't as bad as I thought by the wai :)

    Apart from the fact that I recite elasticity rules in my sleep now :confused:
