LOL I was 17 when everybody else was 18, and that's shit. I loved when everybody was 16/17 though.

Exact same as me a couple of years back. It was pretty annoying.

A Credit.. which was fkn amazing. I thought I failed it.

Based on Scaling Reports, in the last couple of years, there hasn't really been any difference between Advanced and Standard. In 2006 it was harder to get a solid aligned mark in Advanced than in Standard, but the gap between them seems to shrink as you approach band 6. Before then, I believe it...

Haha, well Tomic is a Croatian name, and there are plenty of Croatians in Germany, so it's not too farfetched. :) That and he's freaking tall, like most Croatians.

Not including virtual cubes such as Gabbasoft, I've done up to 7x7 ;)

Greetings! If you're shaky with maths, I don't think you should do Actuarial. If you're not certain about your maths skills, you should be able to try ACST101, but most Actuaries get an easy D or HD in it. From the Actuaries in my cohort that I know, the only Actuaries who got Credit (and in...

Hey everybody! This is to the people who did STAT271 last semester. Does anybody else have a different mark to the mark they originally got? I noticed today on estudent that my mark rose by 4. :)

Hmm, that's rather weird. My friend got 82 on the final, and 84 overall which is what he'd get taking into account the assessments + mid semester.

What about people who had to repeat another sub (eg people who had to redo STAT171) and to speed up their degree, did ECON201 in summer school before everybody else? Or maybe they didn't wanna do 4 subs a semester coz the work is too hard, so they save one for summer school? Also.. the people...

It shouldn't be long at all. Mine changed around this time when I changed from a single to a double.

One of the trickier subs you'll encounter, it apparently has a 35% fail rate. In essence it's a fairly easy sub, but when I did it, the lecturing was atrocious and I felt the course was generally disorganised. It's one of the subs that would probably be easy if it were run with any kind of...

Apparently ECON200 is easier, must be the lack of Actuaries in it :p. ECON201 goes into a fair bit of depth, but only uses a few models. They reuse their models a lot in different ways, or with different additions, eg something that might happen in a closed economy changes when exports and...

I got a D for it and thought it was an easy sub. I think it's definitely crammable, but everybody's different. To be honest, I thought it was no harder than ECON110. There are a few topics that will need a bit of time, but most of it is very easy for the average actuary.

Nah, it's too expensive and I whether I do or not, my degree is gonna be 4 years lol, assuming I get through everything from this point onwards. ECON201 is a pretty good sub; my favourite ECON sub that I've done and it's not hard either. :)

That's what a lot of kids do, so I'd say yes.

I do that next semester. :(

Once I had to do a supplementary at the end of the year, and I got my results for it back early in January. Make sure you check every day though, so that you can plan your timetable ASAP. As for marking harder, it's up to the department for that, but both times I've sat supplementary...

Re: The old end of semester / mark prediction thread Did a fair bit better than I expected :) Actually improved on ALL of my predictions :p
