I didn’t know I could push it back that far! Thank you for this, hopefully I’ll be alright. Also, I’m not sure if you would know anything about this, but I read that the exams are UNSW are generally much harder as compared to those as UTS and that also has me a little worried (even though I know this isn’t something that should affect my uni choice, but I guess I’m just curious whether this is true?).
Don't worry, rarely anyone in first year knows these things because nobody tells them - I was lucky to have sources
That... is quite new to me tbh. I mean no exam is intended to be easy at UNSW but I've never heard of this comparison before either. Plus in my opinion, if you're doing those two courses in term 1:
- ACCT1501 exam was easy. The course can be boring if you can't put up with the lecturer but if you can stay on top of it all during your own time/tutorials/other sources if you want to, it seemed fine. Was one of the easiest exams I've sat at uni.
- ECON1101 has elements of fun in it. But to be fair if you didn't study for it the curveballs would've gotten you. (If you studied hard it's still easy.)
So sadly I can't give you a definitive answer
but I am very surprised though!
(But I mean, marks are important at uni, but they're not
as important as they were in high school. I know I love my marks but tbh, imo people who study hard enough for "non WAM-killing degrees" (cough law) can all get distinctions throughout their time at uni (75+ marks). And that's probably gonna be enough. And also your marks mean nothing after you get your first job anyway (just like how your ATAR means nothing once you get into uni), so I probably wouldn't rely on difficulty of exams as the biggest factor.)
