Preparing for ETC1000 exam

[nacho]

Hey,
what sort of content will I be expecting in the end of sem stats exam?
Is it a multiple choice exam, or short answer or both.

is it just content from the topic notes?
Do i need to watch the demo lectures and CD to prepare for this exam?
Please post anything that may be relevant for exam prep,
any help greatly appreciated!

when i did it, it was only short answer, basically just know your topic notes inside out and your weekly tute work, questions tend to be similar to tute work. No need to watch the demo lectures, nothing's on that normally.

r u guys given past exams?

[nacho]

looks like the past exams are up!
they are hard.
are u tutoring for this sub LOL

Past exams are the best way, they don't change much. Just go over them heaps of times and you'll smash it

[squishy]

Past year exams are the way to go...gives you a good indication of what the actual exam will be like. That being said, I also relied on solutions and the lecture notes when I did it last year first sem. Good luck! (:

today Brett Inder was taking us through a practice exam while speaking out his 'thought process' in how to answer each question
he hasn't finished the whole paper yet but he will be finishing it off next Tuesday and he will give us Q and A time

tl;dr - week 11&12 lectures are actually useful for ETC1000

*edit*

"well judging by the attendance for the past few weeks I bet most of you guys dont want to be as cool as me as you'd rather be boring accountants" - Brett

Does that mean I'm not cool now? Just because I don't want to be an accountant?

dammit, i didn't see this till now..

How come monash doesn't upload answers to the ETC1000 practice exams? Is there any way to get a hold of these? These questions baffle me

i think fyrefly posted up some answers from previous years.... i cant remember the thread unfortunately... just have a search around

[Fyrefly]

Helpful? That doesn't sound like me...

Apologies about the 2009 materials... some pages have writing on them... I had to scan my hardcopies and convert them to pdf, since I didn't have them in softcopy. The fun part is that you can see *exactly* where I got bored, lol.

Sorry guys, but I'm about to double, triple, quadruple post.
The max attachment size for each post is 2048kb, so it can't be helped.

Sorry... I've been fighting with AN for about half an hour... the only way I can get this file small enough to attach is by zipping it.
