    Econometrics or Stats

    Is there a huge difference? Or is doing stats with econometrics kinda redundant? I'm enrolled in BEc BAdvMath(Hons) and was planning on doing economics or econometrics with maths and/or stats, but did a quick plan of the singular BEc degree with a double major in economics and econometrics, and...

    UNSW New BCom Structure

    UNSW have a new Bachelor of Commerce structure (https://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/programs/2021/3502?year=2021) so I was wondering if any of the new courses line up well with the old courses. I was initially thinking of transferring from MQ to UNSW as the old courses lined up...

    Don't really like my degree and unsure of what to do now.

    So I'm currently studying Actuarial Studies at MQ and I'm really not enjoying myself or the degree. Census date is approaching and I'm not sure if I should drop out of the course or not. I don't really know what I actually want to do now, so is it too much of an extreme measure to drop out of...

    Maths @ USYD vs Actuarial+Applied Finance @ Macquarie?

    I am deliberating between doing a B Sc / M Math Sc (majoring in Financial Maths and Statistics and Econometrics) at Sydney Uni vs a B Actl Stds/ B App Fin at Macquarie. My ATAR is sufficient for entry into either course, but I'm not sure which one to pick. Macquarie is offering a $10k a year...

    Disparity between assessment mark and HSC exam mark?

    What happens when there is a big difference (15-20 marks) between my moderated internal mark and my HSC exam mark? I’m expecting to get a Band 4 in economics, as I’m really not prepared, but I’m ranked 5th overall internally. My school gets 5-10 eco band 6’s each year, so I’d say that the 5th...

    Advanced Studies combinations?

    Since adding Advanced Studies to a degree allows you to complete a second major from any faculty in the Shared Pool, what's the difference between completing a degree with the same majors, but a different name? I am interested in the Business Analytics, Econometrics, Financial Maths and...

    What should I do with my life?

    I honestly have no idea what I want to pursue in terms of a career/uni degree, and I'm feeling quite lost at the moment. I'm decent at my subjects at school and they're all sorta interesting but I don't envision them translating into employment, putting it really bluntly. Any suggestions on...

    ATAR Estimate please?

    Hey everyone! I know this is really early but I'm curious as to what ATAR I am on track to achieving. I don't really have a goal at the moment but I'd like to get over 90. Here are my cumulative marks so far (weighted averages). My school hasn't given individual ranks out yet. 2018 School...

    My year 11 marks have been pretty dismal, and I need some advice on what to do before yr 12 I'm pretty sure I want to drop physics, and maybe pick up 4u maths, but I really don't know if I should drop to Standard English. My dilemma is that I really like English but I've been doing quite poorly...

    Year 11 subject "lines"?

    How are Year 11 classes timetabled at your school? At mine, they get put into sets of 6 lines, each line consisting of 2 units, so everyone does exactly 12 units. However, there are lots of subject clashes, and a lot of 1 unit "filler courses" that terminate, so that's not good :( Does any other...
