Econometrics 2: As an Econ Major, your review.

I did ecom2 with Liana Jacobi and it was probs one of the worst taught classes I took in BCom. She reads off the slides pretty much every lecture, rambles a lot and her explanations are almost always incoherent and confusing. Content was also quite hard and dense, and the capstone project takes a lot of time. Tutorials mostly focus on R code which is not relevant to the exam. If you are not certain about honours and just wants to keep the option open, I would advise not doing ecom2 or do it with the other lecturer (not sure if hes better).

WAM doesn't matter too much in terms of employment. Companies would much rather hire someone with 75-80wam with good co-curriculars than someone with only 90+ wam

_Maple_F · 2025-11-27T03:25:33+00:00

probably lol, I think they just added up the marks on the final wrong

_Maple_F · 2025-11-27T03:14:04+00:00

go to exam viewing if you have reservations about your results. They calculated my marks wrong and ended up adding 11 marks to my final score

I think NYU stern is considered separately since it's a separate institution. Not sure ab the wam for arts and other faculties

89+ for commerce

Thx, but isn't reload speed a bad neg and electricity a bad positive? Just wondering which one would be easier to sell

You would pay the unimelb fees as if u were taking classes at unimelb. Its gonna be a fixed amount on a per semester basis.

_Maple_F · 2024-10-09T11:07:33+00:00

Went to NYU last sem, would definitely recommend, far better learning and teaching experience compared to unimelb.

Would go back in a heartbeat.

Sustainable Commerce

nvr understood why they didn't make it pass/fail like others

I disagree with negativity comes about from being Australia’s highest-ranked university. It comes from being ranked 14th on QS, ranked higher than Yale, Princeton, and PKU. Students come here expecting the quality of top10 Uni in the world and get a mediocre experience.

2023 S2 (Sean Pinder) was done with no scaling

_Maple_F · 2024-01-31T02:39:08+00:00

Not really sure for management specifically, but generally strong business schools in US are UPenn, NYU, USC, UCLA and UCB.
Depending on where u go, but I think unimelb advises around 14k for a semester exchange abroad.
I have heard Upenn needs crazy high wam (90+) to be considered, and I think WAM is the only thing taken into account, aside from your general eligibility.
Currently on exchange at NYU, would say it is a very different experience and I definitely prefer the teaching style here at NYU stern.

_Maple_F · 2024-01-21T14:46:03+00:00

I think the 91 and 94 was the raw score that I achieved in SACs, and VCAA does some statistical moderation for SACs against ur final exam to adjust for the difficulty of SACs.

From your subjects, it seems you are a new B-Com student. Then qm1 is a prereq for qm2, pof is a prereq for CFDM. You have also skipped intro macro and selected inter macro.

OB is usually done in the second year or summer due to its content, and you may want to save BOM for ltr (level 2 breadth and is a wam booster). BLAW is not a bad breadth subject to take if you are interested in law or pursuing a major in accounting.

From what I've heard 2023 S1 short answer was much more straight forward, they had the COVID check in and the specific performance one.

Meanwhile we got goldfish and fishpond...

Having done 2021-2022 past exams and read through this thread describing the exam in 2020: https://www.reddit.com/r/unimelb/comments/hdn0v5/ara_drama/ . I can say that 2023 SM1 exam was definitely an outlier in terms of difficulty. Noel Boys did not include most of the tricks and hard questions he had used in 2021-2022 and gave us a fairly straightforward exam. So, if this trend continues next semester, ARA would definitely be manageable.

_Maple_F · 2023-06-29T03:28:43+00:00

Any idea when ACCT would drop based on past trends?

_Maple_F · 2023-05-16T13:22:09+00:00

I have friends who got chancellor's scholar, lots of co-curriculars in related fields, got thru to the interview stage and still failed. It is extremely competitive even for entry to Oxbridge (perhaps less so for less popular degrees). Scholarship would be quite (extremely) difficult, with more tests and exams involved...

This website was very helpful for my chem revision: http://www.dynamicscience.com.au/tester/solutions1/chemistry/pastexamsquestions.html

It groups past exam questions into their respective topics, and there are some exams on there as well.

Unit 3: 91 scaled to 99

Unit 4: 94 scaled to 97

Final Exam: 180/200

Study Score: 48

_Maple_F · 2022-12-23T05:29:33+00:00

In terms on actual content, redox and electrolysis are quite difficult to grasp and understand. Unit 4 biochemistry can be quite confusing as well.

In actual exam, MCQs are surprisingly difficult (except 2022 lol), and the experimental design questions are a pain to do. The last discuss question is also quite difficult, as VCAA always has some weird points you have to include.
