TT, I've got a similar problem!

So I passed AFC2000 and AFC2140 this year with flying colours, since the maths involved was pretty much basic math.

I'm doing AFC3140 in sem 2, which I hope is the same. Do you have any suggestions on the easiest (as in least mathsy finance subjects?)

From your response, I might do international finance next year or so, I just want some advice on the other subjects.

yup int fi is fairly straight forward, nothing fancy, afc3140 is just an extension of 2140, nothing difficult there.

other very non-mathsy units: afc2240, afc3440, afc3540 (not mathsy but alot of programming)
