hey guys
just wondering how much of a disadvantage it is
not having done economics at school
to go into this course? and later macroeconomics?

Yeh I'm in the same boat. I'm currently reading economics for dummies to kinda make up for a lack of knowledge.

If you have done economics in high school => you're set for ECON1101
If you have not done economics in high school => concepts such as supply and demand are common sense and easy to pick up anyway => so you're still set for ECON1101

Macroeconomics is a bit different from high school economics and it is more writing intensive, but concepts are still very intuitive and easy to pick up.

You'll struggle immensely, I honestly recommend waiting for second round.

Don't worry, I didn't do Economics in high school either : )

It's all good, one of my close friends got like 5th in the state for eco. So if I'm really screwed, I'll just exploit her.

someone how i don't believe that a girl who got state rank is very doable.
