    Implementation of Monetary Policy

    I would rely on Dixon for the basic knowledge but, remember there is unconventional monetary policy which is very helpful to understand for a band 6. A factsheet on unconventional monetary policy types can be found on the RBA website.

    Why is AUS in a recession and was not in a recession during the GFC? Was it because of China?

    If I enjoy HSC Economics will this mean I will enjoy USyd Bachelor of Economics?

    Thank you for such a great answer! I honestly haven't considered Ba. Arts due to the stigma surrounding it, at least in my high school.

    If I enjoy HSC Economics will this mean I will enjoy USyd Bachelor of Economics?

    I have placed Ba. Econ and Adv Studies at USyd as my first preference pretty much based solely on how much I enjoyed HSC economics. However, I have read that university economics is very math and stats based (part of the reason I was scared away from the UNSW Ba. Econ) and although I don't hate...

    Applying - what should I include???

    I am currently doing 11 units in my HSC year and in my trials I majorly failed the one unit extra that I do (Math Ext 1). In scholarship applications, since we have to submit our trial marks - would it be wise to drop the extra unit so I omit the bad mark in my applications?. My overall is still...

    Thoughts on the these subjects

    For economics, I find flashcards great for the subject's content then consolidate each module with skills practice and practice multiple choice. Nearer to exams, do some practice essays or even just practice essay plans to organise your thoughts. In the exam, annotate your essay question with...

    Thoughts on the these subjects

    MX1 gets better as you go along as @demonicblackcat says, it gets a lot easier after you get a grip of things. Physics is very dependent on the teacher, I loathed it in year 11 but I definitely grew to enjoy it in year 12. Legal Studies is quite content-heavy, however, if you organise your notes...

    Attacking exams when you've run out of time?

    Generally to maximise chance of getting marks while running out of time, would it be better to continue forward doing as much as you can? or skip from question to question trying to complete parts of everything/give the high marker ones a go - which you wouldn't have time for, if you had...

    How should I approach this essay?

    'discuss' in this sense should be taken less literally, rather link various changes in both the domestic and global economy on our exchange rate and 'discuss' by exploring how some factors have a larger impact, how they could be combined to form a larger impact and etc

    Need opinions on degree choice! UNSW and Usyd Ba. Commerce vs UNSW and Usyd Ba. Economics

    Thanks for the reply! I am conflicted because I feel like both of those benefits apply to me.

    Need opinions on degree choice! UNSW and Usyd Ba. Commerce vs UNSW and Usyd Ba. Economics

    I'm not sure if I should pursue a degree in Economics or major in it. I've so far enjoyed HSC Economics a lot and done very well in the writing sections but, I think I am also interested in marketing however, I did not enjoy Y10 Commerce at all. I'm not naturally good at math however, I am...

    Are these ranks and marks able to get me a 93+ atar?/how am I heading?

    I'm in a top 10 school: English -----> 80/100, 61/125 Math Adv -----> 90/100, 15/111 Math Extension -----> 86/100, 27/80 Eco ---> 100/100, 1/35 Business Studies ---> 98/100, 2/19 Physics ---> 72/100, 17/24 It's really hard to put things into perspective and I'm very unhappy with English and...
