it's like 1/4 of a mark off isn't it

why are you all complaining so much
We still lose marks.

Why are they punishing us for giving a wrong answer? At least we're attempting the question.

I don't see the point in negative marking. Scaling, maybe. Negative marking, nope.

...at least, not for any Commerce subject. I can definitely see the need for negative marking in areas where not knowing everything = killing someone or doing something as seriously terrible as that. Like Medicine.

They look at attendance to tutorials. You'll need at least 80% tutorial attendance. Then you have to have a WAM of at least 55 in order to get a PC with a mark of 46.

As for me, it'll be 80% likely that i will be dropping actuarial, not even going to do a finance major. :/

my friend did that and now she's gone to get special consideration. I'm going to be annoyed if her application actually gets accepted

well it would have had to be hard because tutorial component was just online quizzes and CP. so everyone would have been pretty high up already.

According to who? It was a fair test.
Didn't have time to finish it but in no way was it hard.

Unless you showed up like 30 minutes late I dont understand how you could think the test wasnt hard and not have time to finish..
