    Textbooks &What to bring

    for ACST151 the lecturer gets you to buy a textbook from a separate supplier which includes access to online quizzes on a site different to Blackboard. For math132/133 you don't need a textbook as the lecture notes are excellent. Also I assume you're doing stat171? Don't bother buying the...

    Don't bother doing acst300 unless you're forced to. I found it really boring and the lecturers are quite terrible.

    The old end of semester / mark prediction / results thread

    Re: The old end of semester / mark prediction thread Less than 3hrs to go now... Disappointed that there is no leak this year. Hopefully eStudent will hold up and we wont have to wait half the night like a few years back.

    The old end of semester / mark prediction / results thread

    Re: The old end of semester / mark prediction thread I was reading through the UTS thread and wondered if we could use a similar cheat? If you go to Check Course Details in eStudent it has how many CP u need for your degree (for me its 96) and on the second line it has "Option for BAFBCOM-ACST...

    Does anyone have any econ141 or econ111 past papers? would appreaciate it heaps=)

    You won't be able to get any past papers since they collect the exam question sheet when you do the final exam.

    ECON360 final exam

    So hows everyone going with this? Seems as though Stefan hasn't put up the practice test or the essay marks. I've just been going through the tutorials, doing every 2nd or so question as there are so many. I really can't be bothered making notes and its probably too late for that anyway...

    ECON360 final exam

    So the essays in the actual exam were quite similar to those in the practice exam? Or just the MC questions were similar? Thanks

    bonus points for actuarial studies

    Well to become an "Actuary" (fully qualified = Fellow of IAA) you have to do three sets of exams (Parts I, II and III). My understanding of the ANU system (i go to Macq) is that you complete Part I through your normal degree, then to do Part II you have to do honors. Obviously you can complete...

    ECON360 final exam

    Yep I'm the same as yehriteo, although I have gone to the first 2 lectures :p Content wise it seems pretty light as you're mostly using stuff from previous courses (I'd say its a econometrics kinda course rather than just straight Econ). But I haven't really studied much for it so far as the...

    ECON360 final exam

    Hi guys, just wondering if any of you have done ECON360 before and if so what was the final exam like? I know it'll be ~40MC and 2 long answer but I was wondering were the questions similar to those in the tutorial? Also I'd appreciate any notes or practice questions you have lying around...

    ACST255 Exam Structure

    From what I know you have got a new lecturer for 255 this time around (Dr. Xauo or something). So I wouldn't really bother with past papers as the type of questions will be quite different. He took acst354 last sem and the exam questions were pretty much the same as the tutorial questions, so...

    Anyone keen for Macquarie?

    Hard for anyone to say unless they've studied at both universities. But imo it doesn't matter where you do Actuarial since getting your accreditation (Parts I and II) is the most important thing.

    Rate the MQ economics degree.

    You mean syllabus dot points like the HSC? Then no, I'm quite certain no uni would give you a set of dot points and follow them as stringently as they don in the HSC. The whole point of uni is to learn stuff rather than to just memorise and regurgitate it in final exams like in the HSC, imo.

    [actuary] -

    0.76 :p Seriously though when transferring both your UAI and GPA (marks from uni) get counted (i'm pretty sure of this). I don't mean to put you down or anything but if you can't get the UAI to get into Actuarial then I'd suggest you look for another career path, as most of the people you are...

    [actuary] -

    Do whichever you enjoy the most, since you are more likely to get a good mark in a subject you enjoy than in one you hate (imo). Tips for being succesful? Probably research the profession and ask yourself if you're willing to put in the effort to become an actuary. Since the degree only gets...
