    Exchange for Comm/Actl?

    if u missed the deadline for 2nd year S2 it'll be kinda hard to get an exchange to work around the comm/actl schedule, basically because comm/actl students all follow the same course progression (i.e. ACTL3141/3151 in 3rd year S1, 3162/3182 in 3rd year S2, etc.) and it's hard to match the actl...

    Actl2111, Actl2131, Fins1613, Fins1612, Fins2624, Econ2206

    can confirm, did the same subject combination and ended up spending like 90% of the time on ACTL and 10% on FINS and ended up scoring basically the same in all four subjects fins2624 was definitely dumbed down a lot when i did it because they recycled so many questions, the 2 midterms were...

    Actuarial 2018 Sem 1 Subjects

    I don't think i can accurately answer that because i'm actl/commerce (finance), not adv sci. But most people I know did the first SCIF course in their first semester (instead of FINS1613, which they delay to either second semester or second year) Maybe someone else can shed some light on it...

    Received raw marks - I think I might have found a problem?

    Thanks for the help guys. I sent BOSTES an email last week like 4025808 said, and they told me that they'd look into my enquiry. Today they called me saying that there was an administrative error found with my marks; my raw marks for Q14(c) were 1/1, 1/1 and 1/2 (they didn't tell me what I did...

    Received raw marks - I think I might have found a problem?

    I was considering just not bothering because I really don't want to pay out any more money for exam responses or anything..... do they refund it in the case they find an error?

    Received raw marks - I think I might have found a problem?

    So directly after the 3u maths exam (i.e. when the answers I wrote were still fresh in my head), I checked with Carrotsticks' answers (and later the Terry Lee ones) and I was quite sure I had received full marks for that exam. My exam mark ended up being 97 so I requested a results check and raw...

    try getting an expression for a.P(a), bP(b) and yP(y) and add them up (because aP(a) = a*0 = 0)
