yr12 student interested in actuarial studies (1 Viewer)

[Sush]

hey guys, im currently in yr 12 now n id been wanting to do actuarial studies for a few yrs n i was always intending to do 4u maths but ended up changing my mind coz of problems wif my school (dodgy teachers etc) n it just didnt seem d way to go, but anyway my point is is this is a major disadvantage?!?!

You can do maths 135 and maths 136 for people who did 3U maths in high school. Anyways, most of us forget ALL of the 4U course
And I heard it's not that much 4U anyways, look at the other threads

No, there isn't a major disadvantage. In fact, it might even be helpful to do 135 and 136, if not for overloading both semesters (you're required to overload one, normally).

 

[Supra]

so if u did 4u, then wot maths courses do u do???can i assume theres no need for 135 and 136?

 

[bong]

u would do math133, as set out in the recommended program

 

[flyin']

bong is right.

Somewhere between 15 and 20 hours per week. Or less.

 

[bong]

20/16 split or 17/19 in sem1/sem2 per wk, depending who's advice u take and how stubborn u are

 

[flyin']

Actually, it depends whether you turn up to ACST101 Elements/Tutorials, or ACST211 Tutorials... which could mean 16 hours and, well, 15 hours. You'll see what I mean in second semester, if you couldn't do ACST101 in semester 1.

 

[bong]

yea, but its best to not corrupt people before they even start something

and i havent found any other actuarial doing acst101 with me this sem

 

[flyin']

Oh, it's a matter of fact. I mean, the moderators never went after the first week or two; at least for ACST211 Tutorials.

 

[bong]

lol, why? wats so bad about it?

 

[flyin']

You'll find out when you do 211.

 

[bong]

yippee.. *shudder*

 

[Grey Council]

hrm. So malachite and flyin' are maths freaks?

and 20 hours a week. hrm. school is like, what, 30 hours a week? so uni isn't all that free, like most people make it out to be.

Tell me, is Actuarial Studies a bludge?

EDIT:
*hides his head in shame*
ignore that last question. hmph

 

[-=«MÄLÅÇhïtÊ»=-]

no im not a maths freak, im more a luck freak

 

[flyin']

I don't know. I'm not good at Mathematics. Can't even understand Vector Calculus (Limits) ><

Actually, so far I'm spending about half the time I did last year. And I feelin' good, atm. Maybe it's just early days.

A bludge? Such a nice rhetorical question. =p
