That's strange, I remember studying it in class last year and revising it for final HSC exam... hmmmmmmm

First, I'll address some of your worries/concerns - 1) "heard many numbers tossed around regarding dropout rates (e.g. 1/8 gaining exemptions, 70% dropout rates etc.) so I would appreciate anyone clarifying this for me" - Take a look at this :) 2) "what jobs can someone with part II...

+1 to these insights. so much! spot on!! :)

BUMP! :)

Completely agree +1 A question for you tho, Enoilgam, since you're in the area - if one maintains a HD wam, how much does it actually help you at the end of the day? What's the point of a HD wam, when a D wam will probably be more than enough in the recruitment process (from what I've heard)...

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. Posted on Moodle that cohort-wide average for accounting test 1 was 5.47 and a standard deviation of 3.07

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. Okay, so it seems like that the bolded part was a common misinterpretation by students. The LIC has clarified: Some of you are suffering from an incorrect understanding about the 10 mark final exam re-weighting. This is NOT automatic. If you did not sit...

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. For all the first year actuarial students at UNSW, Sherris has uploaded the paper and solutions for the midsem quiz we did yesterday. Take note of two things - a) After some emailing with Sherris, Sherris has now agreed to mark A and C correct for Q5. And for...

No, that's not necessarily true. It does help, but it isn't as cutthroat as you suggest.

That's actually an exaggeration, fyi. If one does a double degree and gets the required marks in the required subjects at uni, they pass Part I and Part II, making them an associate of the Institute, which pretty much means you're looking at jobs that pay at least $60 000. Then, while you're on...

Here's an interesting and valuable thread for those tossing up between actuarial studies and engineering - http://community.boredofstudies.org/586/general-university-discussion/324144/actuarial-studies-vs-engineering.html

Exactly what I thought yesterday rofl!

Congratulations

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. That's what I expected. But lic said Monday had the highest average

Wise Words, +1. OP, best to ask people in the field about what they enjoy about accounting to see whether accounting is for you.

Re: UNSW Chit Chat Thread 2015. ACCT1511 marks are now out on moodle and absolutely shrekked everyone. Reportedly, the average for the Friday classes for example was less than three out of ten.
