1: the specific formal advice of the faculty is
Additional Information Students who achieved less than a credit in FINC2011 are advised not to attempt FINC3017 until they have completed FINC2012.


2: (though I reserve the right to be incorrect) your previous posts suggest you are only in first year (given there were questions about 1st year units) and that you may have had difficulties completing a full load (given there were questions about withdrawing), and hence it would be better to concentrate on passing everything this semester first before worrying about doing a third year unit before the recommended 2nd year unit, especially against the specific advice of the faculty.

That's fine. Just don't do them together. I did pretty well in Corp 1 (ranked) and doing ipm and Corp 2 together is absolute fuckery. It will kill your wam.

From past students, Corp 2 is one of the hardest and has the highest fail rate (lectuerer emphasized it's difficulty for 30 mins). But I can confirm, into the 4th week - ipm is on another level.

Don't do them together unless you're solid in finance/stats and are willing to work extremely hard.
