Title: how are u finding it
Post by: clinton_09 on April 06, 2008, 10:23:47 pm
just wondering how everyone is finding accounting this year. I'm really enjoying it and find it generally pretty easy, i expect it to be my best subject in terms of study score. I sure wouldnt mind a 43. What does everyone else want?

I'm really liking it too. I'm hoping for 40+.

Where are you up to? We've just finished the General Journal.

Nope. We're actually using the Cambridge one, but my teacher sometimes gives us handouts from the Neville Box one.

We're using Cambridge too and I like it. We are starting Chapter 9 tomorrow so just finished General Ledger. Finding it fun. I got some really positive comments from my teacher as I was walking to Economics. 46/50 for first SAC. Very happy =)

lol i bet i would learn most of the vce course through uni accounting already anyway... right now im just reading the textbook when the teacher is discussing the BIG load of questions she set for hw (which i never do)... she makes us do all the review ques in the yellow box of the cambridge textbook n i reckon they're so useless

I know! I love that all the templates are given to you. It will be like that in the exam, right?

yeah, templates are given in the exams. it's nicer that way. and during reading time, it's a good idea to look through the templates so you get an idea of what you may need to answer.

there's no work book for cambridge is there, sheepz? i think macrob's text book is also kinda like a work book...and yeah, of COURSE you're ahead of class =P such a smart cookie!

Wow. Thats like...pretty far behind one would assume. We finished chapter 7 on the holidays but it was sposed to be done before school finished so was just catchup.

We didnt use one for year 11. We just used the computer printouts or just did them on the computer.
But I'm loving it. So nifty.

Title: Re: how are u finding it
Post by: costargh on April 08, 2008, 08:47:06 pm
We have theory questions which are called Review Questions and Exercises which are like small scenarios which incorporate prac and theory as an exam would

we hav a workbook? i didnt know that >.< but we are doing the stuff on the templates anyway on the computer so yeah... is that basically what the workbook is about?
Title: Re: how are u finding it
Post by: costargh on April 08, 2008, 10:54:32 pm
Pretty much the same thing as the workbook but the workbook is so practical. You can take it home, not have to worry about emailing the bits you did in class home, etc.
So convinient

For the mid-year, I strictly advise you to do all of the *easy* general journals. These pick up easy marks, in 2-3 minutes you may have accumulated 5 marks! :)

and oh btw, the mid-year is so important. I'm deadly serious, DO NOT TAKE IT $%($%( LIGHTLY. If I gotten a high A+ in the mid-year I think I would've certainly landed with a 45.
