How to use these papers
These questions almost always chain models together, so practise the chain rather than the individual graphs. Take a released prompt, then say out loud what happens in each linked market in order before drawing anything.
Check every answer for whether it addressed the short run or the long run — the rubric distinguishes them, and a correct short-run answer to a long-run question earns nothing. Highlighting the time frame in the prompt before you start prevents most of these.
The graphs are worth drawing until the labelling is automatic: AD-AS, the money market, loanable funds and foreign exchange each have conventions the rubric expects, and the marks go to the conventions rather than to the sketch.
