Yes, you need to know which formula to use (such as using the compound interest formula when the interest is compounded) and read the question carefully like whether the interest compounded yearly or month or weekly. Also always draw a timeline (like invest from 1/1/2006 to 1/1/2012 is 6years...

If you are doing stat170 and acst101 only and you don't like maths, you don't really need math123. Basically acst101 require you to understand the questions and apply the formulas ( you don't need to understand where this formula come from and in 2Unit mathematics you HAVE to DERIVE the formula...

Applied finance is pretty quantitative, From my friends doing applied finance and I also did one AFIN subject. You may consider doing Applied finance with Science (statistic). If you have the maths and going to stick with statistic, I recommend you doing stat272 (this is a advance stat unit) as...

It is too late for internal transfer for semester 1 in 2013 @ mq. considered Applied finance with statistic in Macquarie? you really need to think do you have interest on statistic rather than just doing well in stat170 because stat170 is a very basic statistic unit anyway. Obviously it would...

It's quite boring in some lectures, LOL. This year not gonna be as easy like first year T.T doing 7 acst300 level subjects X(

I will reply you but I'm too old to say anything X) I'm still going mq this year A_A

Macquarie is ok if you do some specific degree X)

For ACST101 you can access all the resources from ilearn such as past years class test, lecture notes. This subject is the easiest I ever had, I just purely use my lecture notes (they will ask for the content like fill in the blanks or mc from the notes almost the same wording.) So you don't...

ACST101 3 class tests, online quiz and final exam, consist 30% element and 70% technique. Elements are just random finance facts that you need to know, techniques are applying the formulas. Very easy subject if you good at maths. Notes: lecture notes are sufficient, you can get full mark...

Yes, you can repeat pass unit. But I don't think this is a good choice to boost gpa

I mean doing B Commerce in UNSW is better than B Commerce in Mq (After you transfer) Maybe i should've use transferED instead of transferrING if this cause confusion O_o (my english sucks :D)

There are a lot of people don't like the actuarial studies program after they start doing it (or not capable), many of them in Macquarie transferred to just Bachelor of Applied finance in mq. Transferring from Actuarial studies to other degrees in UNSW "probably" better than transferring in Mq...

Choose the closer uni, UNSW will have bachelor of actuarial studies in 2013, so you can double up with finance. Also if you are not really sure about is actuarial studies suitable for you, then go UNSW because internal transfer to other degrees UNSW is probably better. Unless you really wanna...

unless you're Macquarie or SIBT students, most people don't know what SIBT is anyway.

I did math132 (Mathematics 1A (advanced) ) so can't really compare. math132 is quite easy as well but not as easy as acst101 though. I got 99 in acst101 that's why I can say is the easiest for me lol, that doesn't mean easiest for everyone.

It is definitely possible to get full mark in the techniques part, for the element part it is just all base from the lecture notes. I strongly doubt how hard acst101 test can be anyway. It is the easiest subject I ever had lol Compare this (element part) to your test, see any significant...

if doing acst101 in Macquarie uni, lecture notes are sufficient. You can get 100 without using the textbook. I'm sure OP do not need the notes now lol.

Yes, it is possible. You just need to fulfill the requirement (I think is GPA3 with HD in math135 and C in acst101). You should be able to get these grades if you want to do B.ACST, the average mark for acst101 for actuarial student is around 85. You should really get Distinction and above if...

class test doesn't represent the true failing rate anyway... I wouldn't suprise the fail rate maybe a little bit higher than the university acst101 failing rate, maybe the reason is lack of literary skill. They can always repeat anyway, since you can get into the accounting degree within 1.5...
