ACCT1501 Exam...? (2 Viewers)

[Minai]

Anyone here do accounting 1A?
How'd u find the exam?
IMO, It was too easy, therefore a lot of ppl will do really well..I found the exam easy but consequently I probably made lots of careless errors..even though I literally had 1 hour to check over everything

 

[aspect]

same here

got a bit fuddled on the inventory bit with the chocolates but besides that and a couple of maybe's here and there it was easier then i thought it'd be

I don't know about that. I agree that the questions were pretty straightforward, good for those who have worked all semester, but judging from the markers' comments on the past papers they are pretty anal. Ahhh only one more session of this crap left .

 

[kaseita]

yea the marker's can be pretty nasty

I never knew what weighted average was lol (maybe I should've done my HW)....so kinda made up my own idea of weighted average and hoped it worked

woohoo! no more accounting....for half a year (I do 1B next year cause got no room for it next semester)

Yeah same here LOL, I got to the end of the question and realised that my method was exceedingly dodgy, but what the hell .

That's awful...at least I'm getting it over with .

mac ppl had accg 1A exam today
it was pretty hard =/

lol, I somehow knew that weighted/moving average was gonna be in it...so I crammed that the night before, luckily!

I think 1B will be better, judging from tutor's comments...it's more theory/management stuff, rather than the mechanics of the boring bookeeping cycle.

kini - if not accounting, what is your commerce major?

Whatever, just not accounting

Probably finance. There isn't anything else there that strikes as interesting or useful. Accounting is useful, just boooooooooorrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnng .

MQ ACCG was nasty ... I screwed ONE question up ... but that was like 23% ...

I remember my ACCT1501 Final exam. I finished in under 2 hours, checked my answers, and left in time to make it to the ROundhouse to see the England vs Brazil game without missing any of the goals. And I still ended up with a HD.

I hope you guys like 1B, cashflow statements, corporate governance and ethics >shudder<.

 

[RIZAL]

you guys didn't know what a weighted average was?

*joins the Macquarie actuaries and looks down condescendingly*

Yuck!! - I can't wait till I finish this yr - no more accounting. Weighted Average - that was in our exam too! (Uni of Canberra)

You know Isaac, I have no idea how a garbage truck works, but I pay GARBOS to do that stuff for me

 

[kaseita]

oh great...corporate governance?? aaaaarrgh!! *falls asleep*

I figure I won't remember a single account by the time I hit it though.

there was a choice - decide if weighted average was interesting to study...or not

Corporate governance is remotely more interesting that DR and CR...

DR 1A Knowledge
CR Holidays

hrmm...what's your point?
you pay garbos to teach you how a garbage truck works?
who do they pay?
the ppl who make the trucks?
who do the ppl who manufacture the trucks pay?
the risk analysts
who do the risk analysts bow down to?
*ACTUARIES*

if im wrong...sue me

*Sigh*

Trust an actuary to be shaky on COMPREHENSION skills

I have no interest in knowing how a garbage truck works because it really is beneath me , I have a comparative advantage in doing more elevated, sophisticated studies such as law .
