tbh if you knew your stuff, it was pretty simple, just tricky wording

Oh well, how's FINS1613 quiz 3 so far? Need to know how much and what to study just in case there's going to be some troll Q being put up...

it was slightly harder than the previous one. theres only 4 questions, and they just tested the basic stuff like portfolio beta, expected return, variance and CAPM.

What sort of tricky questions were there? i.e. was the wording of the Qs ambiguous?

hell yeah


Bloody Finance trying to trip you up on how well you carefully read the question.
yeah lol the wording is so bloody ambiguous. and to make it worse theres only 4 questions. so each question is worth 2.5 marks and the test is weighted at 13.5%.

its generally easy mate. but then again it depends on person as i am quite maths-oriented.

I went through a lot of past papers. i found my paper to be a little step up but that's okay because there was scaling i think (if it is harder)

in saying that i found fins1612 harder than fins1613 (which some people disagree about).

... fuck. that means. if one Q wrong. 7.5 already QQ
yeah dude and i made a small error in question 3, and question 4 was related to the answer to question 3. so i lost 5 marks in the test and that translates to losing like 7 marks from my final score.

thats the difference between a distinction and a low credit. and all because of one small error. fml.

Since when is it weighted at 13.5%? Isnt it just 10 and then they drop your worst and average them out of 40?
