Re: The UTS 'Secks and Stop Skipping Your Classes!' Thread

orsm. FIT's charlie server has been down like all day. No one can access anything. I don't know whether this is good or bad for me cause I have AIT to do. Hopefully they'll give us an extension I need one XD

Next week is so disgusting for me.

Tuesday > CommBank Assessment Centre+group activity+1 on 1 interview
Wednesday > Need to get draft for MDC assignment done
Thursday > AIT assignment due
Friday > Deloitte information session and group activity and ITPS tutorial presentation

Not to mention work on Monday and Tuesday and general homework. Someone kill me

Pretty much everything was down on Saturday - IT Website, Start IT, all the IT hosted subject pages and logins to Charlie and Sally (ftp/putty).

It was all running Sunday though.

I've noticed that happening quite alot on saturdays, maybe it's just maintainence?

Huratio, what coloured paper did you get for the FBF exam?

Maybe. It would have been more suitable having maintainence during 1-5am or something, where there would have been the least number of students affected.

Huratio, what coloured paper did you get for the FBF exam?

I forgot what coloured paper it was =/ I was in the afternoon session (1:30pm-3pm) though.

What did you think of it dram? I've spoken to a couple of friends- and they all found it relatively easy too.

Re: The UTS 'Secks and Stop Skipping Your Classes!' Thread

yup i thought the majority of it was pretty easy with one exception - the TVM question. actually the question probably wasn't that hard, but i didn't really have any examples on my cheat cheet that matched anything like that question :/

i had the blue paper, i'm hoping for around a 75% mark

 

[Huratio]

Re: The UTS 'Secks and Stop Skipping Your Classes!' Thread

I had a 120-day bank bill question- something like PV all the cash inflows to today. Might have lost 1 mark it (it was out of 2 I think).

The TVM question- was it the annuity one?

 

[dram]

Re: The UTS 'Secks and Stop Skipping Your Classes!' Thread

it was an annuity one, yes. a company obtained 2 separate loans at different times and only started making repayments on a certain date after acquiring the loans...they were monthly repayments. sound familiar at all?

 

[Huratio]

Re: The UTS 'Secks and Stop Skipping Your Classes!' Thread

Yep. Mine was compounded every 6 months.

So what I did was compound them both to the period before the annuity payment started, added them together- then used that as the PV for the annuity formula and working out PMT.

The session papers were pretty similar for the morning and afternoon. They must have changed around a couple of numbers here and there.

Looking forward to getting my results after VC week =D

Re: The UTS 'Secks and Stop Skipping Your Classes!' Thread

AIT assignment due date has been moved forward a week! OMG! So happy

 

[dram]

Re: The UTS 'Secks and Stop Skipping Your Classes!' Thread

that's exactly how i did it too huratio - except my one was compounded monthly.

Oh yeah. Did you like that 0.05something% compounded daily question - convert to EAR?

Such a good question lol.. I got like 10000% in my first working out (what you get when you don't convert the % into decimal).

Re: The UTS 'Secks and Stop Skipping Your Classes!' Thread

I'd been doing a few EAR questions just before the exam so i was pretty ok with that one.

sounds like you were trying to work out the details of a zimbabwean home loan with rates like that ;p
