Uni eco is wayyyyy different. I really enjoy and am pretty good at VCE economics, its so new, and interesting, i did it at Uni, but withdrew from it middle of this year . It was nothing like what we learn at school, much more on the THEORY and PRINCIPLES behind demand, supply, policies etc. And it was much more heavily mathematical based. *sobs*

So you prefered VCE economics? Interesting..

Personally, I found economics at uni to be much more focused on understanding concepts as opposed to rote learning definitions (I supppose this is common to any VCE subject). After doing a semester of at uni, I feel like I actually understand economics like so much better than I did in my 2 years of VCE. And the maths isn't really that bad...

I much prefer it to VCE, but obviously it's not for everyone!

Yeah it was a real shame, but it mgiht have been because of the type of economics i was doing, i later found out there are dozens of "branches" of economics. The maths was okay, nothing majorly difficult to grasp, but it's because i didn't do methods (which is a prerequisite for many Uni's), and also, it had a lot of algebra, and calculations. We weren't allowed a calculator for the exam or tests!!! And sometimes we were dealing with decimals, percentages, and fractions etc, i need the holy calculator
