    guaranteed entry 2018

    Hi guys, It does not need to be your first preference but rather if we walked down your preferences and lets say you don't get your first and second preference but you happen to be successful with the third preference and your ATAR is at or above the GE then you are GE for that third...

    When should I do fins1613?

    Firstly, people would say avoid FINS1613 in semester 2 due to the lecturer, seemingly harder assessments, better administration and easier time in semester 1 although it is still doable. Doing it in 2nd year will not ruin your finance major as long you complete all 8 finance courses within your...

    Help: Finance Major

    Have a read of the handbook for a finance major. http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/plans/2017/FINSA13502.html For finance major you need to complete 4 compulsory courses and choose 4 elective courses. In terms of which semester to take, you shouldn't think of which one will boost...

    Which subject to do first: FINS1612 or FINS2624

    I heard differently and people would've preferred S2 for FINS2624 since S1 goes into more depth with black scholes. Please keep in mind OP that the lecturer in charge for S1 is no longer at UNSW so there will be a completely different lecturer in charge next year for S1. FINS1612 is 95%...

    The UNSW Scaling Thread

    ACTL2102 - Midterm was scaled to a CR average but nothing else was scaled. FINS3616 (S2 2016) - Only the finals was scaled up by 8 marks to make up for having no partial marks (even for the short answer calculations). Nothing else was scaled. Please note this was the first time the LIC took...

    No but it will definitely help you transition into uni in some ways since you would also encounter a few concepts learnt in business studies say like E.G. Balance sheet will be in 1st year accounting.

    UNSW Subject Reviews.

    Robert Tumarkin you mean, yes it seems he is returning next sem as LIC and he is probably the best lecturer (definitely for finance) admistrates and teaches extremely well. He was one in charge in semester 1 in previous years and is reputatively easier than semester 2's lecturer. However...

    Mathematics Extension 1 Exam Thoughts

    78-80. Again like I said with the 2U exam, there weren't any "I've never seen this before" questions and where if you did past hsc exams like 2004 where that tide question was harder with this years, this exam did not seem to abuse the difficulty. I honestly thought the introduction of the...

    Whats the usual E3 & E4 cut off?

    Depends on the year, in 2014 e4 cut off was close to 80 so expect the cutoff to be roughly high 70s unless its some hard exam.

    2 unit paper

    For Q 14 (d) since this is a 2U paper, although it's not incorrect, factorising with a power of 5 i've never seen for 2U. What should've been done was using the sum of the geometric series for 1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 which is equal to (x^5 - 1) / (x - 1). So in this case replace (x^5 - 1) / (x -...

    2 unit paper

    Be sure to have a look at rawmarks.info predicting a similar alignment to 2014's exam where raw marks beyond 95 did not have any additional marks added. Ofc the lower the raw mark the more alignment.
