    Welcome to Faculty of Commerce and Economics

    Right here! I don't really like Accounting, but I'm getting better at it. Finance is for cool people, so that's for me.

    FINS1613 query

    He just took one of last sem's quiz papers so I wouldn't call it writing it, maybe 're-writing'. To answer the initial question, that is exactly what it means. Doesn't seem to be any other way to interpret it.

    help jst skipped entire section of exam

    That isn't true. They take AT LEAST your best 2 units of English. If you did English Ext and had 11 units, and English Ext was your worst unit then only your 2 units of Advanced would count. If you did worst in Advanced (out of your 11 units), 1 unit of Advanced would count and 1 unit of...

    Second year comm

    That's three of my courses next sem... Well, I'm doing flexi-core of Business Law. I don't think it's a good idea to pack too much finance. If, like me, you are only doing FINS1613 atm, then it might be good not to be too overextending with your courses, especially as a large majority of second...

    FINS1613 - Quiz 4

    Oh damn, I'm still gunning for the full marks for this one though. The marks were distributed 3, 3, 4 I believe.

    some one who got a 97.30 ATAR without studying?

    She probably is very bright, but there's always the chance she did more than you thought. Also, I'm sure you are surprised by how much information a bright student can retain with a night of study. (Despite it being exponentially more overtime)

    How is the ATAR calculated with 11 (or another uneven number) units?

    Re: How is the ATAR calculated when you have 11 (or another uneven number) units? You will have the 10 best units counted (2 must be English, these include extensions. So if you have 11 units and Eng Adv is your worst, only half of the English Adv will count). If your other Englishes are in...

    Advice to someone starting Year 11?

    Don't drop to Standard. It scales worse, and a lot of courses in univeristy require or have Advanced English as assumed knowledge. It's not that much harder either. You have some good scaling subjects, but you want to put good effort in subjects that you're good at (to make them better), and the...

    B Commerce/B Arts length of duration issue.

    I'm doing the same course and I am fairly certain it can only be done in four years since you can no longer enroll in the five year version.

    listening to music while studying?

    Depends on the music. If you really need to concentrate and learn something then don't listen to music, you won't retain as much. However, if you do want music don't listen to music with lyrics. Classical music is fairly stimulating, but lyric-less game/movie music (as suggested before) is...

    "Can I get a decent ATAR with these subjects?"

    I got 91 for my Mathematics, and I don't regret choosing 3U and 4U Mathematics. I would fail dismally, and would rather stick to simple Mathematics which is very much 'pick up and learn'. Although, admittedly, I did drop 3U Maths preemptively in Year 11. The 2U Maths test was a sinch this year...

    People who got >90 in subjects: how did you study?

    Re: ppl who got >90 in subjects how did u study?!?! For Band 6 subjects, my highest were 90 in Ancient History and 91 in Mathematics. I believe that Band 6 2U Mathematics is the easiest Band 6 that you can ever get, but you actually have to study and understand the content as opposed to...

    Blade Runner - Director's Cut or Final Cut?

    Something you might want to Wikipedia. I believe I watched the Director's Cut which has the Origami Unicorn ending, and a scene involving a unicorn.

    Share your 2011 ATAR here

    89.50, didn't crack the 90. Atar estimate was way off, estimating 90.7.

    General Thoughts: Legal Studies

    It wasn't a hard test, but I just couldn't think straight at all. So overall, general questions but I was fairly blank minded for most of it.

    General Thoughts: History Ext

    First question was good, hated the second question. I misquoted a historian in the second question too, that's one less paragraph. Oh wells, it shouldn't be detrimental. I'm wondering what everyone learnt, I did about 20 historians all up and only got to use about 10 but I'm sure someone...

    Predicted results?

    Unsure, I wasn't in the mind set although I know it wasn't a hard test. I'd be happy be around 85 for this one.

    How much did everyone write for the essays?

    Wrote very little, partially because I hadn't studied for this subject much (three parts due to having three other tests this week, and one part due to it probably not being counted to my 10 units). Wrote approximately two booklets each, 6 pages for essay and 6 1/2 pages for creative.
