    actuarial exemptions

    Yes doing trimesters is hard, however in saying that no going to UNSW does not stop you from doing Summer internships. Yes you can't do any winter ones but like very few places offer them anyway so you really aren't missing out. Just try out the trimester at UNSW and if you hate it you can...

    Actuary Studies vs Computer Science?

    To be quite honest, being an actuary isn't very math heavy. Even when you're doing the lower level tasks. The truth is most systems/models have already been built so your job essentially becomes analysing and optimising those systems which doesn't require the math you learn at uni to be honest...

    actuarial

    Yes its still half done because the other half is from actually working, not work experience or internships. So no uni offers the full part 2s no matter what.

    actuarial

    To add to this from a Macquarie perspective, The maths courses weren't that hard personally, but the final exam was a pain in the umm you know..., the first year actuary course was pretty hard but not too bad, the economics course was easy aside from the assignments which have the weirdest...

    actuarial

    You're right in assuming that I did a lot of research. Ok so the pathway that I'm taking is doing a double degree at Macquarie. To become an actuary there are 3 parts. The first part is typically done by most unis which offer actuarial studies. The first half of the second part can be done if...

    actuarial

    Actually on the Macquarie website it says that guaranteed entry is 95. Also from my understanding there is no "best uni" for actuarial studies. UNSW and Macquarie are fairly equal and just tend to differ a bit in some niche areas, so it typically comes down to preference. If you do end up doing...

    Is it possible to get 95+ in Maths Ext 1 & 2 without tutoring?

    Hey dude. I got 95+ for 3U and 4U and I didn't do tutoring for either. I also didn't do any of the extreme things that everyone is mentioning. I personally just followed along in class and was actually behind for most of yr 12. If you are good at maths you tend to know what works for you, so I...

    How do you approach a text?

    If you want to approach a text well. My personal opinion is to consult the rubric first to get a general gist of what is expected of you. Then I would recommend just diving right into the book to get a good idea of the plot, ideas and key scenes. Then I would look at context and try to see how...

    Does anyone plan on writing their execute summary last? or nah? By that I mean like leaving the first page blank and then coming back to it after you've finished the report.

    Reading task

    First sentence should be a specific and explicit answer to the question.(i.e. what emotion, experience, behaviour is the text addressing?). At the minimum you should have one less than the allocated mark amounts of analysis. QTE is the best approach to it. Quote: The Evidence. Technique: Self...

    I'm not saying matrix answers aren't good though. I'm just saying they aren't the actual Nesa approved one. aka not the real answers. I haven't looked at them but I'm sure they are good, I just thought your phrasing was incorrect. I haven't looked at it, but I don't have an opinion for the...
