Relax - it's only multi choice and worth 40% :).

Are ALL the formulas gonna be provided for us? (READ: Do we not need to remember any of them, even rights issues, etc?).

Hahaha that's the second time you've told me to do that. I don't know how anymore.

I'm not sure about the formulas, but some of them are repetitive anyway (bond ones). It's better to just remember them... they don't take up a lot of brain power.

They do when you've got to remember Chapter 8 - Chapter 14 in one night. :)

Well in high school we were competing for ranks and competing with the state to get into a good course. I'm into the course now and the pressure is much less - you only really need to pass and that isn't too hard! :)

I hope you're right. I just hate how there's nothing to go on... no past papers or prac questions written by KATHY not Jerry.

Oh well... it's over soon.

What im doing is just reading over the lecture notes and after each chapter I look at the prac multi choice they posted. Don't worry about memorising every detail - if you've read everything when you see a question that relates to what you've read some of the answers will just pop out at you. That's why MC is so good! :p

Tell that person: The moment you settle for less than what you deserve, you get less than what you settle for.

Aim high. Never even think of defeat until you are defeated.

True. If you aim for a pass you're more likely to fail.

FINS1612 was OK - probably shoulda studied a bit more, particularly for the calculations questions! I had no idea about the "rights" calculations, but the exam was pretty fair overall.

I finished after an hour and walked out about 5 mins later - Not sure how everyone else found it but the questions certainly didn't require 1min+ each!
