1st year is a very broad overview of what you do. 2nd year subjects is a lot more focused as it should be. In Stats: integration and a bit of probability (with integration - not probability with permutations and combinations), a lot of work with distributions and hypothesis testing. In...

All those students CONTEMPLATING doing Actuarial Studies GO TO Macquarie University. Embrace it, it's a good uni with a well-educated, well-structured and prestigious department. GO TO Macquarie University for Actuarial Studies. Macquarie has the experience in Actuarial Studies, which...

I can't remember... probably just adjust for depreciation or something. I can't remember. Most likely when you do the cash flows first time around you'll be out by something like $1400... I remember I was out by something like that... so I just fiddled with the accounts somewhere and tried to...

Not many ruse people in our year are doing law/acst combined. There were about 3 ruse guys who were doing it... but they all dropped it coz it got so hard.... Its probably not being such a genius in doing law, but more about knowing how to bull crap for the tutes and handling the massive...

For the cash flows question they'll just give you a statement of position and performance I think. From memory, there will be something like company tax or something like that (not GST though). Depreciation... well.. there's always depreciation in any account so you will have to adjust for...

Don't you NEED to do ACCG100 to do ACCG101? Like it's a prereq... It wouldn't make sense to do Accounting 1B when you haven't done Accounting 1A...

ACCG101 All I remember is the Statement of Cash Flows question. To get it to balance you have to fiddle with some tax or depreciation or something. My advice is, if you can't get it to balance almost immediately then don't worry... Many people in our year didn't get it to balance...

good luck trying to get into mac bank... it's really hard to get into. They want the smartest people possible.... BUT have to very good communicators as well... one of my friends got killed when they interviewd him

although its not one of the recommended programs, you can also do an accg/acst combined... that takes about 4 years if you cram most of the accg subjects in summer school... i know a guy who did it.. he got his accg degree already and is doing 243 and 271 this year... so he's still got 1 year...

Yea aditya is right.... law combined lets you get higher positions in a firm... maybe CEO (though most CEOs come from CFOs who are pretty much all accoutnants) The problem could also be lack of demnd for actuaries because a firm only needs a handful of actuaries and thats it.... asia...

combined law is a very good degree to have.... not many ppl do it, so its even better....... but hard....

Of course its hard to get a job that you want in any occupation. I want to be the CEO of one of the Big 5... you think I can get it? Of course not.... UAI is not a good measure of how smart you are... regardless of whatever UAI you get. People can change. UAI is a number. People screw up...

If you do a double degree, it might be best to do something that is unusual or not the common path taken. It makes you stand out more. I do applied fin/acst combined... along with over half the other people in my course... that pretty much makes me a nobody really....

Well I'd say you're just as capable. Most the guys with low 99+ UAIs have lost GPA of 4.0... Only the guys with 99.5+ UAI still have GPA 4.0 I have a feeling that at least one of them will lose it this semester though....

30.5/45 for the 243 test was good.... (edit) And ACST/ECON combined do 4 subjects this semester: econ141, econ201, stat271, acst243...

flyin' you of all people (being a know-it-all =P) should know that the Actuarial industry is phucked in Austrlaia. Noone wants employ Actuarials as much here. Asia is where the big market is. To make things worse, there are way more Actuarial students around as well.... One of the reasons why...

I think you'd be able to get some free time - even the brightest ones in my year manage to bludge a bit.. A BIT though... But those are the ones that are very very very very far ahead like reading notes before the lecturer talks about those topics. SO you'd prob be comfortable most of the...

lol.. being a member of something won't get you any brownie points with employers or won't let you see how events are organised and run... you gots ta be an Active Member... Extra cirricular activities is good to do especially if your grades aren't super....
