[dankfrank420]

Got my wam up from 74 to 79 - is that respectable for first year?

Yeah, ATARNotes just attracts some absurdly smart people so don't feel bad lol. 79 is a fantastic WAM.

got lower than expected for comp & strat

All me done

2017   Semester 2   ECON20001   Intermediate Macroeconomics   1   83   H1   First Class Honours   12.500
2017   Semester 2   ELEN20005   Foundations of Electrical Networks   1   72   H2B   Second Class Hons B   12.500
2017   Semester 2   ENGR20004   Engineering Mechanics   2   83   H1   First Class Honours   12.500
2017   Semester 2   FNCE30001   Investments   1   86   H1   First Class Honours   12.500

Pretty good except for FoEN - I'm still annoyed by that absolutely ridiculous exam that we were given, and it appears they didn't bother to make adjustments for it either.

Pretty stoked with 83 for Eng Mech, without a doubt the hardest subject I've ever done at university and to get a H1 when I didn't know what was going on half the time is surprising to say the least.

Good luck for everyone else

All mine are out, pretty good sem

2017   Semester 2   PHYC10004   Physics 2: Physical Science & Technology     90   H1   First Class Honours   12.500

Pretty happy with most of these marks especially considering my exam timetable (at the start of the exam period I had a 4pm exam then the next day an 8:30am and 1:15pm exam).

Bit disappointed with micro econ, was hoping for higher considering how I'd done during the semester but found the exam wasn't always clear with what they wanted (particularly the last part).
So proud of my physics mark - went from knowing almost nothing and being confused all semester to knowing it pretty well and doing well on the exam   definitely wasn't expecting a mark like this during the semester.
Very happy with eng and linear algebra but guessing they scaled the linear exam a bit.

Managed to push my WAM up a bit  just annoyed that it's 0.6 off what I want haha.

Mine are out too, a bit disappointed in my IFA mark, but overall reasonably happy. WAM for my 1st year sits at exactly 80 :/

I wasn't the only one as 94/426 failed even after a bump up on the exam

let me guess, comp10002?

[sweetcheeks]

HPSC10001 From Plato To Einstein                             66 H3
FNCE10002 Principles of Finance                                75 H2A
BIOL10005  Genetics and the Evolution of Life            89 H1
CHEM10004 Chemistry 2                                             93 H1

Both the biology and chemistry marks are consistent with last semester, very happy with them. The breadth subjects let me down this semester, but my WAM is 76 and hopefully next year I can bring it up to 80

Toughest semester I've had academically, spiritually and emotionally (countless existential crises throughout the semester), but things turned out alright in the end. Good job to everyone else for surviving the year! c:

[izzydes]

let me guess, comp10002?

yup lol

[Yousha]

yup lol

I hope it wasn't a prerequisite for something in your major. How did you do in your projects? I did not give the exams for any subjects this semester (have special consideration so exams in dec) but am only really scared about my prospects in this subject.

[lzxnl]

Awesome to see you're still killing it, even in postgrad.

Did you ever take programming electives to complement your maths skills? Or are you doing anything software-related in your spare time?

I did computational physics in undergrad, which was basically C for physicists
Also did numeric/symbolic in third year, which covered MATLAB + Mathematica
Doing a subject called Computational Differential Equations next semester which is going to be looking at how computers solve DEs
So yeah you do have to do some programming in maths

[RKTR]

BIOM30001   Frontiers in Biomedicine      67   H3   
ECON20005   Competition and Strategy   88   H1   
NEUR30004   Sensation Movement and Complex Functions 84   H1   
PHRM30002   Drugs Affecting the Nervous System      84   H1

thought i would at least get a H2 for frontiers but didn't happen. was hoping for a 90+ for comp & strat but close enough i guess. finally done with undergrad!
