    low pass rate for ACST101?

    I don't see why would they want to scale up in acst101, it is really a very basic course, but this course will only be useful if you do the finance side though. Even in Macquarie uni the lecturer said 30% fail rate, it is quite common to fail if you don't have a try in this subject or your...

    ~Sem 1 2012 Results~

    She makes the test quite hard. She will use current news in the exam and you need to apply your knowledge to answer those questions. One question in the final are using the AD-AS model and currency stuff to explain what happen in the economy for the Jewish at the second world war in Warsaw. I...

    ~Sem 1 2012 Results~

    2U maths is way sufficient for acst101. They do not have proof for geometric series, they just give you the formula and apply it. (no understanding needed behind the formula) The hardest maths in acst101 probably using log to find the unknown such as 1.03^n = 3.262 Most of the stuff are just...

    ~Sem 1 2012 Results~

    ECON110 will be much harder than ECON111 if you have Alison Vicary. Otherwise, ECON110 will be easier than ECON111 in terms of content. For ACST101, tutorials and quizes will be sufficient for a pass (easy Distinction if you are good in maths). Got 99 for it, easiest out of the 9 subjects I did...

    Help - Trig Question from Year 12 Cambridge 3U Further Trig

    cos^2 a * cos^2 b - sin^2 a * sin^2 b = (cos a cos b - sin a sin b)(cos a cos b + sin a sin b) = cos(a+b)*cos(a-b) ---------------------------------------------- cos (x+y) = cos x cos y - sin x sin y cos (x-y) = cos x cos y + sin x sin y therefore cos (x+y) + cos(x-y) = 2 cos x cos y let x =...

    Haven't done economics in the HSC

    Didn't do economics in HSC. Got both HD in econ110 and 111. So it doesn't really matter, they start teaching you from the basic. Lots of memorize? not necessary, but you should know the basic assumptions for the models.

    Subject work

    After few lectures i just attend the lecture and just watching the powerpoint rather than print it. Only write stuff down if you think it is important. For econ,accounting subjects, it is good to read the textbook once hehe.

    21 hours of study a week

    serious?............ 21 hours of study a week? I think it really depends on your ability. For me myself, I probably did <1 hour of study per normal wk (doing homework doesn't count? If it count still less than 5hours, only 4unit maths take me a while. Other homework I usually complete in...

    My Friends bizarre theory about life and the HSC (come if you want a laugh)

    first statement fail already lol, too many pathways :P graduate engineer earns 500k a year, outlier?... average probably under 100k? I think it's only true when you get 60% raw mark (scale to band E4) in 4unit maths that will probably equivalent to a 97% in business. I even play games the...
